How do I make script pause after executing (clone)?

Asked by

Hello I am currently trying to make a script that spawns an infinite track. It works well except that it spawns tons and tons of models when it is touched. How do I pause the script momentarily to prevent this?

local function clone()
    local cloned = road:Clone()
    cloned.Parent = game.Workspace
    --cloned:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(0, 0, 130.588))--(0, 0, 130.588)
    --cloned:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(PreviousPart.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 130.588))--(0, 0, 130.588)
    cloned:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(road.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-130.588))
    print("road has spawned")
end

--EVENT
touch.Touched:Connect(clone)

Thanks in advance :)

Use a debounce.

local debounce = true -- tells if cloning is available
local function clone()
    if debounce == true then -- if cloning is available
        debounce = false -- makes cloning unavailable
        local cloned = road:Clone()
        cloned.Parent = workspace
--      cloned:PivotTo(CFrame.new(0, 0, 130.588))--(0, 0, 130.588)
--      cloned:PivotTo(PreviousPart:GetPivot() * CFrame.new(0, 0, 130.588))--(0, 0, 130.588)
        cloned:PivotTo(road:GetPivot() * CFrame.new(0,0,-130.588))
        print("road has spawned")
        task.wait(5) -- after 5 seconds
        debounce = true -- makes it available again
    end
end

--EVENT
touch.Touched:Connect(clone)
