Is there a a way to make this cooldown system work?

Asked 305 views1 answers

I made a button that has a cooldown, but everytime it is clicked during cooldown, it just starts the whole cooldown over again. Any ways to combat this?

function OnClicked()
wait(1)
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
script.Parent.Running.Value = false
wait(60)--starts wait over again.
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
script.Parent.Running.Value = true
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(OnClicked)--everytime the button is clicked it starts wait over again.

Need to add a debounce like this:

debounce = false

function OnClicked()
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
wait(1)
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
script.Parent.Running.Value = false
wait(60)--starts wait over again.
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
script.Parent.Running.Value = true
debounce = false
end
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(OnClicked)--everytime the button is clicked it starts wait over again.

What does the debounce do?

debounce makes sure it only triggers once and if it has already triggered it waits till its finish then resets it self.
