Why is my debounce not working and, why does it add value then subtract that value right after?

Asked 277 views2 answers

Hey scriptinghelpers, two questions same script. So, the script below is a LocalScript in StarterGui, on key pressed (the key is Q/mobile button) run animation. I'm actually having two problems with this script. The first one is my debounce isn't working so, if you press Q repeatedly it just keeps running the animation over and over for each time you press it (meaning it starts over basically). The second problem I'm having is that it adds the value to leaderstats then it immediately subtracts that value it just added, which I don't understand. I appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

This is a LocalScript in StarterGui

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer or game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local cas = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://27789359"

local debounce = false
function OnKeyPressed(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin and debounce == false then
		debounce = true
		humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation):Play()
		wait(10)
		local animationTracks = humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()
		for _, t in pairs (animationTracks) do
			t:Stop()
			player.leaderstats.Tix.Value = player.leaderstats.Tix.Value + 100
			debounce = false
		end
	end
end

cas:BindAction("PlayAnim", OnKeyPressed, true, Enum.KeyCode.Q)
cas:SetPosition("PlayAnim", UDim2.new(1, -70, 0, 10))

Your debounce isn't working because it's inside a for loop. Also, you cannot change leaderstats values through a local script, you'll have to use a remote event.

Here is a quick way

Local script :

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character

--Add a remote event in the replicatedstorage
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local cas = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://27789359"

local debounce = false
function OnKeyPressed(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin and debounce == false then
		debounce = true
		humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation):Play()
		wait(10)
		debounce = false
		
		--I don't know if this is when you want to give the stats
		RemoteEvent:FireServer("Tix")
		
		local animationTracks = humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()
		for _, t in pairs (animationTracks) do
			t:Stop()
		end
	end
end

cas:BindAction("PlayAnim", OnKeyPressed, true, Enum.KeyCode.Q)
cas:SetPosition("PlayAnim", UDim2.new(1, -70, 0, 10))

Server script :

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, stat)
	--I recommend you add extra security check there
	if stat == "Tix" then
		plr.leaderstats.Tix.Value = plr.leaderstats.Tix.Value + 100
	end
end)

But yeah I don't understand what you're trying to do with this

Oh sweet, thanks for the help! I appreciate it. I'm not really trying to do much with it, I just was having a hard time because, last time I used RemoteEvent it wasn't working properly so I didn't really understand. I'm only here to learn! The script is just so I can learn about on key pressed and I wanted to add some type of value. Thanks again though.

You did a really good job explaining so, I appreciate that. I understand a lot better now.

local debounce GetChildren ("debounce")
 if debounce.Working = false then
changeValue.debounce.Working = true

if value being subtracted instead of being added then
 Stop

Uhm, I don't really know how to respond to this without being rude. I appreciate you trying to help though.
