Script Debounce determination problem, help?
Alright, so I have a script that when a part named "Bullet" touches a block it is supposed to add a different number to the block rather than what a normal touch is supposed to do, however when "Bullet" comes in contact with the block it gives the number as any normal touch. What do I do?
function Bullet(part)
if debounce or part.Name == Bullet then return end
onTouched()
debounce = true
number1 = tonumber(script.Parent.Name)
print(number1+number3)
script.Parent.Name = (number1+number3)
wait(0.2)
print "bullet"
math()
math2()
math3()
math4()
debounce = false
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(Bullet)
function onTouched()
if debounce == true then return end
debounce = true
number1 = tonumber(script.Parent.Name)
print(number1+number2)
script.Parent.Name = (number1+number2)
wait(0.2)
print "ahh"
Bullet(part)
math()
math2()
math3()
math4()
debounce = false
end
NOTE: The full code leaves me with no errors, and in practice it also leaves no errors.

You missed quotes around Bullet.
Bullet is a variable; "Bullet" is a string; part.Name is also a string. The types need to match for them to be equal.
That said, your organization is also a mess - your two functions are calling each other, which, if it weren't for the debounce, would cause an infinite loop.
Instead, do this:
function Bullet(part)
--what you want to do when a bullet hits the brick
end
function NormalTouch(part)
--what you want to do when a non-bullet hits the brick
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
if part.Name == "Bullet" then
Bullet(part)
else
NormalTouch(part)
end
end)
debounce is only required if your scripts need to wait (or call "yielding" functions, like :WaitForChild, or use RemoteFunctions, etc)
