Gate script question, how do I put a debounce in it?
What I want to do is this: Put a debounce in the script. SO then if you click the button the gate will slide thorough. But if you click it again it will slide back. But you have to wait a couple seconds for it to slide back. I am also toying around with it to see if I can make it not make the gate go too far if it is repetedly pressed. I would love it if someone would help me!
DoorSystem = script.Parent
Door = DoorSystem.Door1
DoorPad = DoorSystem.Open.ClickDetector
local padPressed = false
function Slide()
if not padPressed then
padPressed = true
for i = 1, 500 do
Door.CFrame = Door.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 0, 0.1)
wait()
end
end
end
DoorPad.MouseClick:connect(Slide)

This isn't quite a standard debounce.
Basically, we have to make new button presses interrupt old ones. Instead of doing the loop in the event, though, it really is easier to make the event just write the direction, rather than actually repeatedly act on it:
DoorSystem = script.Parent
Door = DoorSystem.Door1
DoorPad = DoorSystem.Open.ClickDetector
home = Door.CFrame -- Where the door STARTS
open = 0 -- How far (in studs) the door is open
direction = 0
speed = 0.3 -- studs/second
function Slide()
-- Flip direction (turn around)
if direction <= 0 then
direction = 1
else
direction = -1
end
end
DoorPad.MouseClick:connect(Slide)
while true do
open = open + direction * speed * wait()
open = math.max(0, open) -- Not a negative opening
open = math.min(50, open) -- At most 50 studs open
Door.CFrame = home + Vector3.new(0, 0, open)
end
This won't close on its own, though.
A partial solution is this:
function Slide()
-- Flip direction (turn around)
if direction <= 0 then
direction = 1
wait(5)
direction = -1
else
direction = -1
end
end
The problem is input like this:
- 0s : Click (starts opening)
- 3s : Click (starts closing)
- 4s : Click (starts opening again)
- 5s :
wait(5)from first click just fired, so door closes
That interruption in the last moment is the problem. Basically, we need to measure if there has been another click in the last 5 seconds:
lastClick = 0
function Slide()
-- Flip direction (turn around)
lastClick = tick()
now = tick()
if direction <= 0 then
direction = 1
wait(5)
if lastClick <= now then
direction = -1
end
else
direction = -1
end
end
