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

Asked 346 views2 answers

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:

--Variables--
local Brick = script.Parent
local LivesA = workspace.spinner.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text
local SpinningSpeed = workspace.spinner.PlatformBase.HingeConstraint.AngularVelocity
--End--

--Code--
local function PlayerTouched(Part)
    local Parent = Part.Parent
    if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Parent) then
        if LivesA == "Lives: 10" then
            LivesA = "Lives: 9"
            Parent.Humanoid.Health = 90
        end
    end
end
Brick.Touched:connect(PlayerTouched)

wait(1)

local function PlayerTouched(Part)
    local Parent = Part.Parent
    if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Parent) then
        if LivesA == "Lives: 9" then
            LivesA = "Lives: 8"
            Parent.Humanoid.Health = 80
        end
    end
end
Brick.Touched:connect(PlayerTouched)

local function PlayerTouched(Part)
    local Parent = Part.Parent
    if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Parent) then
        if LivesA == "Lives: 8" then
            LivesA = "Lives: 7"
            Parent.Humanoid.Health = 70
        end
    end
end
Brick.Touched:connect(PlayerTouched)

            Parent.Humanoid.Health = 60
        end
    end

Use :Connect() instead of :connect() for newer work.

untested but try this:

--Variables--
local Brick = script.Parent
local LivesA = workspace.spinner.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text
local SpinningSpeed = workspace.spinner.PlatformBase.HingeConstraint.AngularVelocity
--End--

--Code--
local function PlayerTouched(Part)
	local Parent = Part.Parent
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Parent) then
		if LivesA == "Lives: 10" then
			LivesA = "Lives: 9"
			Parent.Humanoid.Health = Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
		elseif LivesA == "Lives: 9" then
			LivesA = "Lives: 8"
			Parent.Humanoid.Health = Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
		elseif LivesA == "Lives: 8" then
			LivesA = "Lives: 7"
			Parent.Humanoid.Health = Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
		elseif LivesA == "Lives: 7" then
			LivesA = "Lives: 6"
			Parent.Humanoid.Health = Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
		elseif LivesA == "Lives: 6" then
			LivesA = "Lives: 5"
			Parent.Humanoid.Health = Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
		elseif LivesA == "Lives: 5" then
			LivesA = "Lives: 4"
			Parent.Humanoid.Health = Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
		elseif LivesA == "Lives: 4" then
			LivesA = "Lives: 3"
			Parent.Humanoid.Health = Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
		elseif LivesA == "Lives: 3" then
			LivesA = "Lives: 2"
			Parent.Humanoid.Health = Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
		elseif LivesA == "Lives: 1" then
			LivesA = "Game Over.."
			Parent.Humanoid.Health = Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
			wait(5)
			LivesA = "Lives: 10"
		end
	end
end
Brick.Touched:Connect(PlayerTouched(Brick))

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!

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

--variables
local Debounce = false
local brick = script.Parent
--end

--script
brick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if not Debounce then
		if hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			if script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: X" then
				hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 90
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: IX"
			elseif script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: IX" then
				hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 80
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: VIII"
			elseif script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: VIII" then
				hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 70
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: VII"
			elseif script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: VII" then
				hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 60
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: VI"
			elseif script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: VI" then
				hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 50
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: V"
			elseif script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: V" then
				hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 40
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: IV"
			elseif script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: IV" then
				hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 30
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: III"
			elseif script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: III" then
				hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 20
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: II"
			elseif script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: II" then
				hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 10
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: I"
			elseif script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text == "Lives: I" then
				hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 0
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Game Over."
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Restarting..."
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Starting countdown until restart."
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "10"
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "9"
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "8"
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "7"
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "6"
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "5"
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "4"
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "3"
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "2"
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "1"
				wait(1)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Begin!"
				wait(0.5)
				script.Parent.Parent.Lives.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = "Lives: X"
			end
		end
Debounce = true
wait(.5)
Debounce = false
end
end)
--end
