How do I make a cool down so you can only click on a gui every 0.5 seconds?
So I'm trying to make it so when you click on a textbutton it adds 1. I made that here:
block = 1
game.ReplicatedStorage.anything.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
player.leaderstats.Blocks.Value = player.leaderstats.Blocks.Value + block
wait(1)
end)
But, if you use an autoclicker, you can get hundreds of points in seconds. I was wondering how you could add a cooldown so you only get a point every 0.5 seconds? Thanks.

Use a debounce.
-- LocalScript inside the button
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("anything")
local button = script.Parent
local clickable = true -- this will be our debounce
button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
if clickable then -- if clickable is set to true
clickable = false
remote:FireServer()
task.delay(0.5, function() -- this will turn clickable to true again after 0.5 seconds
clickable = true
end)
end
end)
An alternative is the Active property.
-- LocalScript inside the button
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("anything")
local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
button.Active = false -- deactivates the button, making the button not clickable
remote:FireServer()
task.delay(0.5, function() -- this will make the button clickable again after 0.5 seconds
button.Active = true
end)
end)
