Debounce

I have absolutely no idea what the debounce property does, if it even is a property, or how to use it.

I've looked in almost every page, blog, and even memorized a few. I still don't know how to use it at all. I know it prevents certain functions from repeating an excessive amount of times, but I just can't grasp anything else about it.

Debounce is actually a variable. Of course it's a boolean value and the way it works is a script checks if it's true and if it is, the function will end using return. It's really useful for the Touched event.

Example:

debounce = false --create the debounce, it can be named anything.
function touch()
if debounce == true then return end --If the debounce is true, the function will end using return.
debounce = true --The debounce is now true.
print("Touched!")
wait(5) --So the code cannot be repeated for 5 seconds.
debounce = false --The debounce is now false and the code can be repeated again.
end

workspace.Part.Touched:connect(touch)
