Should I use debounce?[Solved]

To use debounce, you would need a variable. We could call this variable debounce.

local debounce = false --Notice how this is a boolean value. It doesn't have to be a boolean. Booleans are simple and easy to use.

local debounce_2 = 0 --This is a number value. This would also work if used correctly.

How do they work? Well an If statement checks to see if the debounce is a certain value.

if not debounce then
    print("Foo")
end
--Both these will print "Foo". Also, you may want to do "if not debounce" if the debounce is false. As you can see the first debounce example is shorter.
if debounce == false then
    print("Foo")
end

if debounce_2 == 0 then
    print("Foo2")
end
--Both of these also print.
if debounce_2 < 1 then
    print("Foo2")
end

Now, denounces are supposed to prevent something from functioning more than once. This is how:

local debounce = false --Now the debounce is false

function printme(msg, time) --The message
    if not debounce then--Do this in anyway of your liking.
        debounce = true --This will prevent the message from spamming the output.
        print(msg) --Prints the message
        wait(time) --Wait time amount of seconds. In this case, it's 3.
        debounce = false --Turn the debounce to false to be used again.
    end
end

while wait() do --loop
    printme("Foo", 3) --fire the function "printme" with the msg of "Foo" and the time of 3 seconds.
end

Now about every 3.03 seconds you will get the message "Foo" in the output.

We can now add this to your script.

local debounce = false --You May make Debounce anything.
local Damage = 10
function onTouch(hit)
human = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if not debounce and human ~=nil and human.Parent.color~=nil then Debounce = true
human.Jump = true --The variable human is the humanoid.
human.Health = human.Health:TakeDamage(Damage)
wait(3)--Wait 3 seconds.
debounce = false --Resets debounce.
end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

Now in this script, this uses some function called :TakeDamage(). This might work better because this means that the player can't take damage if it has a ForceField. If you don't want this to happen, just replace line 7 with human.Health = human.Health-Damage

This is how your script will look like:

Debounce = false --You May make Debounce anything.
Damage = 10
function onTouch(hit)
human = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if Debounce == false then Debounce = true
if human ~=nil and human.Parent.color~=nil then
script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Jump = true
human.Health = human.Health - Damage
wait(1)
Debounce = false
end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)
