Teleporter debounce is skipping my If statement, why?
Okay so Basically I have made a teleporter that returns the player to the lobby and gives them cash, however, for some reason the debounce gets activated early and doesn't do the if loop, to combat this I added a wait before the debounce which works, however it will give the player a ton of cash, usually about 70 dollars, I know this is because parts of the body are activating the if statement before the debounce turns on I just don't know what to do.
Original code that skips the if statement and prints error:
local p = script.Parent
debounce = false
p.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
if plr.Parent.Name ~= "Stalker" then -- Checks to see if they are the killer in the game
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
plr.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = game.Workspace.Lobby.SpawnLocation.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 3, 0)
wait()
local pp = plr.Parent.Name
local e = game.Players:FindFirstChild(pp)
print(pp, " found")
local ppp = e:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
local cash = ppp:FindFirstChild("Cash")
cash.Value = cash.Value+10
print("Gave Cash to ", pp)
wait(2)
debounce = false
elseif debounce == true then print("Error")
end
end
end)
Altered code that gives random amounts of money:
local p = script.Parent
debounce = false
p.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
if plr.Parent.Name ~= "Stalker" then
if debounce == false then
wait()
debounce = true
plr.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = game.Workspace.Lobby.SpawnLocation.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 3, 0)
wait()
local pp = plr.Parent.Name
local e = game.Players:FindFirstChild(pp)
print(pp, " found")
local ppp = e:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
local cash = ppp:FindFirstChild("Cash")
cash.Value = cash.Value+10
print("Gave Cash to ", pp)
wait(2)
debounce = false
elseif debounce == true then print("Error")
end
end
end)

I looked at your code a bit, I think I've found the problem.
First off, when you start a Debounce, try using "if not" statements instead of "if debounce =="
for example, when you write:
local p = script.Parent
debounce = false
p.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
if plr.Parent.Name ~= "Stalker" then -- Checks to see if they are the killer in the game
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
you should preferably instead write,
local p = script.Parent
debounce = false
p.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
if plr.Parent.Name ~= "Stalker" then -- Checks to see if they are the killer in the game
if not debounce then
--now continue with your script
However, there is an error in this code, you should not set debounce to true so soon in the first code. Debounce should be set to true after all your code has run, for example:
local p = script.Parent
debounce = false
p.Touched:Connect(function(plr)
if plr.Parent.Name ~= "Stalker" then -- Checks to see if they are the killer in the game
if debounce == false then
wait()
local pp = plr.Parent.Name
local e = game.Players:FindFirstChild(pp)
print(pp, " found")
local ppp = e:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
local cash = ppp:FindFirstChild("Cash")
cash.Value = cash.Value+10
print("Gave Cash to ", pp)
debounce = true -- here
wait(2)
debounce = false
elseif debounce == true then print("Error")
end
end
end)
Lmk if this helped! Hopefully it did, good luck on your game, I would love to see it finished.
