Why isn't this delay working?
I have a delay in this script to stop it cloning the item hundreds of time, but it doesn't seem to work and I don't know why, instead it clones the item infinite times leading to my studio crashing:
local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local Torso = Character.Torso
local Delay = false
function OnDeath()
if Delay == true then
return;
end
Delay = true
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Body = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(" ")
local BodyClone = Body:Clone()
Instance.new("Humanoid", BodyClone)
BodyClone.Parent = game.Workspace
end
Humanoid.Died:connect(OnDeath)

You never set the Delay to "true" anywhere in the script. XAXA 1569 — 8y

Does "Body" have a script inside it? The Body dies as soon as it is cloned into workspace, which triggers a script, etc... XAXA 1569 — 8y

I don't know.. Try adding
Delay = false
to the end so it'll loop?

Try this:
local Character = script.Parent
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local Torso = Character.Torso
local Delay = false
function OnDeath()
if not Delay then
Delay = true
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Body = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(" ")
local BodyClone = Body:Clone()
Instance.new("Humanoid", BodyClone)
BodyClone.Parent = game.Workspace
end
end
function onSpawn()
Delay = false
end
Humanoid.Died:connect(OnDeath)
Player.CharacterAdded:connect(OnSpawn)

Didn't work. iFlusters 355 — 8y

Where is the script located? Are you cloning this script in when a player spawns? if so, you're basically removing the script, and adding a new, fresh one (which has delay equal to false.)

First off why are you doing
local delay
if you want to delay something why not just do
wait(10) --or whatever other number you want to use.

I think he was meaning to use it as a debounce. Pyrondon 2089 — 8y

Because the wait will only wait the function, and because it's a function it will occur still the same amount of times. iFlusters 355 — 8y

oh. Never used debounce so I wasn't sure Conmmander 479 — 8y
