How to add a debounce to prevent people gaining many wins in a second?

Asked by

I need help on how to add a debounce because if I don't add that when people step on the part they will get many of the stat "Wins" in a second. Someone please help me!

"Wins" giver part script:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name).leaderstats.Wins.Value += 1
    end
end)

local debounce = false --Bool Value

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
    if not debounce then
        debounce = true

            game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name).leaderstats.Wins.Value += 1
        wait() --Waits before turning debounce back to false
        debounce = false --Turns debounce back to false
    end
    end
end)

If this didn't help, please don't downvote me. I'm really new to scripting and I'm just tryna' help. TY

That is how you add debounce, basically. Dehydrocapsaicin 483 — 3y

You can remove a couple of lines if you do if debounce then return end. It's basically the same thing. Dovydas1118 1495 — 3y

The previous answer is still faulty; use 2 scripts, 1 is called "WinnerCount"; the other called "Resetter" make Resetter disabled & leave WinnerCount enabled; both in the part that is acting as your finishline.

WinnerCount:

script.Parent.Resetter.Disabled = true
local debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        player.leaderstats.Wins.Value = player.leaderstats.Wins.Value + 1
        script.Parent.Resetter.Disabled = false
        wait(3)
    end
end)

The Resetter script:

if script.Parent.CHANGEME.Disabled == false then
    script.Parent.CHANGEME.Disabled = true
        wait (30) --How long until the Finishline will work again, can be replace by a finishline position changer code line that undoes itself after a condition is met.
        script.Parent.CHANGEME.Disabled = false
end

what for. the other script works just fine though. Nitrolux200 62 — 3y

Maybe, but if the player accidentally steps on the win block twice, it'll probably double count it/ the finishline will only work once; if they do the same race/whatever, it wont work. FLIPPER4440 21 — 3y
