i try to make a cooldown for my fireball, when i try to spamming it, it does not have a cooldown. Help me please

this is the fireball script

local Character = Player.Character


    Fireball.Position = Character.RightHand.Position
    Fireball.Parent = workspace
    local velocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", Fireball)
    velocity.Velocity = CFrame.new(Fireball.Position, Mouse).LookVector * 50
        Animation:Play()
    debounce = true


        Fireball.Touched:Connect(function(Touched)

                if Touched:IsDescendantOf(Character) then return end
        Fireball:Destroy()



        if Touched.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
                        Touched.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(10)
                end
         wait(3)
    debounce = false
    end)
end)

and this is the fireball activation script

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local debounce = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, processed)
    if processed or debounce then return end

    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
        debounce = true
        workspace.FireballScript.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position)
    end

    wait(3)
    debounce = false
end)

The main problem is inside of this part of the code:

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local debounce = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, processed)
    if processed or debounce then return end

    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
        debounce = true
        workspace.FireballScript.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position)
    end

    wait(3)
    debounce = false
end)

To add a cooldown, you need to check if the cooldown is currently in place before shooting the fireball by using an if statement by checking if debounce is true before firing the event. You also don't really need to check if processed. Here is the edited code:

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local debounce = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, processed)
--check if debounce is false
if debounce == false then
    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
        debounce = true
        --here
        wait(3)
        debounce = false
        workspace.FireballScript.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position)
    end
end)

Also, if the fireball is delaying by 3 seconds and you do not want it to delay, replace "--here" with "workspace.FireballScript.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position)" and delete the old "workspace.FireballScript.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position)".

Here is what i think it will fix your problem

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local debounce = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, processed)
 if debounce == false then
    if processed or debounce then return end

    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
        debounce = true
        workspace.FireballScript.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position)
    end

    wait(3)
    debounce = false
end
end)

Probably you forget to detect if debounce was on true so it dont keep spamming.
