Sorry for the slightly messy code. Basically, I want this button to disable itself after you touch it WITHOUT disabling the script, because I want a "cooldown" time for scenarios later in my game. I would very much appreciate assistance on this, as I am not too sure how debouncing works. Thank you!

Here you go!

The explanation is in the script. :] Also, you should make the debounce a little longer because it's not really a debounce if you're only using it for not even a second.

01local debounce = true
02 
03script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
04    local h = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
05     if h ~= nil and debounce == true then
06        wait()
07    debounce = false --ADD THIS HERE BECAUSE THEN WHEN YOU TOUCH THE PART, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE IT UNTIL YOU CHANGE THE DEBOUNCE TO TRUE AGAIN.
08        game.ServerStorage.t1:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
09        script.Parent.p:Play()
10        local tp1 = game.Workspace.t1
11        wait() 
12        script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Black")
13        debounce = true -- CHANGES TO TRUE SO YOU CAN REACTIVATE IT.
14 
15        --[[The following lines are optional in case you want a timer for a button to reactivate.
16 
17        wait(5) --Cooldown time. Can be changed to anything depending on what you want.
18        script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really blue") --Change the color to whatever you
19                                                                 --want.
20 
21        debounce == true --This re-enables the script. Don't mess with this unless you want to break
22                         --the script.
23 
24        --]]
25    end
26end)

A tip, for a short cut. Instead of debounce == true, just do debounce by itself since debounce means true so it will run. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 10y
