Help on adding debounce to this spinner script? (already set up the basic spinner)

So, I just made a spinner and some code so every time you touch the spinner it changes the text to 1 less life and lowers your health by 10, and to prevent regeneration, I just made it set it to the number but -10 instead of subtracting 10 from the health. Anyway, my script does not work because it does not lower the lives and also lowers your health too fast. I tried to fix the last problem by making it wait but it still doesn't work. However I did figure out I need to add a debounce but how do I do that? Im new at lua so please try to keep it simple, help on this would be appreciated. This is my script:

001--Variables--
002local Brick = script.Parent
003local LivesA = workspace.spinner.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text
004local SpinningSpeed = workspace.spinner.PlatformBase.HingeConstraint.AngularVelocity

012            LivesA = "Lives: 9"
013            Parent.Humanoid.Health = 90

what it does if the player Lives was 1 and he touched the brick then he will die and after 5 seconds their lives will return to 10 if thats what you wanted i hope i helped!

no whenever i touch it it says attempt to call a nil value? CraftyAlphaMan 11 — 4y

I am pretty sure the reason that it wasnt working was because I was changing it through a variable so. here it is, with debounce

01--variables
02local Debounce = false
03local brick = script.Parent
04--end

06--script
07brick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
08if not Debounce then

12                script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: IX"
13            elseif script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: IX" then
14                hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 80
