debounce is not working?

im trying to make a sword.

Script :

readykill = true
ready = true
activated = false

local function OnTouch(other)
	if activated and readykill then
	local human = other.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not human then return end

	if human.Parent == Tool then return end
       
		human:TakeDamage(script.Parent.dmg.Value)
    readykill = false
		wait(script.Parent.Delay.Value)
		readykill = true
	else
		print("not ready")
    end
end

Output: image.png

readykill = true
ready = true
activated = false





script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
if readykill == true and activated == false then

	print("attack")
	
	
	readykill = false
	activated = true
	wait(5)
	readykill = true
	activated = false
else
	if readykill == false and activated == true then
		print("not attack")
	end
	end
end)

you forgot to add "==" and true or false, it should be like this "if readykill == true and activated == false then" and after the main code for example damage to the player and then write in the same function so that the script turns off readykill and active turns on "readykill = false activated = true" then add "wait(for example 0.6)" and set readykill and active as they were "readykill = true activated = false" then write else if readykill == false and activated == true then print("not worked") -- for example and don't forget ends and sorry for my english I used google translator

You can use loops to do a certain thing everytime a value is false or true. Like this:

local isReadyToSlash = false

wait(cooldown)
isReadyToSlash = true 
wait(cooldown)
while wait() and isReadyToSlash == true do
blahblahblah:FireServer()
print(tostring(isReadyToSlash))
end

You left your "activated" variable to false, making the sword not work. Since I have no clue how you set up your sword, you have to edit some stuff in the code provided, especially the "-- Edit this." ones.

The Tool object has an "Activated" event to which you could connect your function.

Also, your sword's Handle (wherever it may be) has a Touched event. Your "OnTouch" function must be connected to it.

I added an extra function that listens to the Sword's Activated event, with a 1-second wait (you may change the function to however you want, as long as the "activated" variable is enabled then disabled.)

readykill = true
ready = true
activated = false

local Tool = script.Parent -- Edit this. Where did you place your handle?

local function Activate()
	if not activated then
		activated = true -- Activates the sword.
		wait(1) -- idk how long do you want the sword to be activated?
		activated = false
	end
end

local function OnTouch(other)
	if activated and readykill then
		local human = other.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if not human then
			return
		end

		if human.Parent == Tool then
			return
		end

		human:TakeDamage(script.Parent.dmg.Value)
		readykill = false
		wait(script.Parent.Delay.Value)
		readykill = true
	else
		print("not ready")
	end
end

Tool.Touched:Connect(OnTouch)

script.Parent.Parent.Activated:Connect(Activate) -- Edit this. I don't know where your Tool object is in the Explorer.

Let me know if there are problems with my solution.
