debounce is mainly in tools (Supposedly) Also mainly in hats. I believe it is in a Touched function.

Debounce is a term that is often associated with the act of adding a cool-down time to a function so it doesn't get called rapidly. This can be especially helpful when used in conjunction with the Touched event of parts. Oftentimes, this is accomplished by setting a variable to true at the beginning of a function, and setting it to false again at the end. Then, at the very beginning of the functio Hybric 271 — 10y

n, and setting it to false again at the end. Then, at the very beginning of the function, if the variable is already true, then you use the 'return' keyword, effectively ending the function. Hybric 271 — 10y

Debounce is used so a function's event doesn't run too many times For example:
Debounce=true Part=Workspace.Part function ChangeColor() if Debounce==true then Deb=false Part.BrickColor=BrickColor.new"Bright red" wait(2) Part.BrickColor=BrickColor.new"Bright blue" Debounce=true end script.Parent.Touched:connect(ChangeColor)
Here If the Debounce is true then the function will start when the event is connected to the function and it will not fire if the Debounce is false. Instead of using Debounce you can use a wait() to stop functions from clashing.
