I tried to making a thing where when you click a button it makes your clicks leaderstats go up by 1. I can click fast, so i wanted a cooldown on 1 or 0.5 seconds. Here is my script:
for number = 1, 1 do
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Clicks.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Clicks.Value + 1
end)
wait(1)
end
Can you tell me why there is no cooldown? Thanks!
MouseButton1Click every 1 second. Connecting the event makes it so that the function you connected to the event will call whenever the event is fired.
Final ScriptNormal Script inside the button:
local button = script.Parent
local player = button:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")
repeat
player = button:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")
task.wait()
until player ~= nil
local debounce = true
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if debounce then -- if debounce is true
debounce = false
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Clicks = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Clicks")
Clicks.Value += 1
task.delay(1, function() -- after 1 second, debounce will turn true
debounce = true
end)
end
end)
Thanks @xInfinityBear for the suggestion to not use RemoteEvents!

Although this would work, I would not recommend using a Remote Event; especially when it is unnecessary. Exploiters could abuse this and give themselves as many clicks as they like. You only need to use a single server script; you can still get the player object from the server script, as the script would be a descendant of the player.
Okay!
