While loop glitching the debounce?

Asked by

I try to use for everytime, but I want to learn to use the while loop.Everytime I try t, it glitches the debounce.Any help?

function pizza(mouse)
    if debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        local x = Instance.new("Part")
        x.Shape = "Ball"
        x.CanCollide = false
        x.TopSurface = "Smooth"
        x.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
        x.Transparency = 0.7
        x.Parent = Workspace
        x.Size = Vector3.new(10, 10, 10)
        x.Name = Player.Name
        x.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Black")
        game.Debris:AddItem(x, 10)
        y = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
        y.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
        y.velocity = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame.lookVector*160
        x.Parent = Workspace
        y.Parent = x
        f = Instance.new("Fire", x)
        f.Heat = 0
        f.Size = 30
        x.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(0, 0, -10)
        while x do
            wait(0.1)
            x.Size = x.Size+Vector3.new(10, 10, 10)
        end
    wait(1)
    debounce = false
    end
end

I can use the tool just once, then the debounce go infi.I think it's because x is true yet, even tho it should last 10 seconds.

Your variable x is pointing to the memory location of the x part. Even though you add it to debris and it is 'removed' the memory location still exists. My suggestion is to use a for loop or check to see if x ~= nil.

So either change while x do to while x ~= nil do or replace the whole while block with:

for i = 1,100 do -- Repeat 100 times since 0.1 * 100 = 10
    wait(0.1)
    if x == nil return break end -- Stop the loop if x does not exist
    x.Size = x.Size + Vector3.new(10,10,10)
end

Note: The for loop is more efficient.
