Again message repeated over and over?
**I tried adding a model that would hold all of these in and delete the model but that does not work since this is a touched event what it does it it said I touched it once though and the message repeats like 8 times I want this message only made 1 not 8 hints between an I don't mean hints that are different but with the same text no output either **
function onTouch(hit)
local name = hit.Parent.Name
local plr = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if plr then
local check1 = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if check1 then
local check2 = check1:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
if check2 then
local check3 = check2:WaitForChild("Owner")
if check3.Value == true then
local m = Instance.new("Hint",game.Workspace.Hints)
m.Text = name.." Already Owns A Tycoon"
wait(7)
game.Workspace.Hints:Destroy()
wait(7)
end
if check3 then
check3.Value = true
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
script.Parent.Transparency = 1
print(hit.Parent)
end
end
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)
wait(1)

Debounce is a technique used to limit the number of times an event can be triggered. You could compare this to the firing speed of a gun, the attack speed of a weapon, or the cooldown of a skill. The basic idea of debounce is to make sure no actions are performed while the event is inactive.
For example, let's use a simple Touch event.
local brick = script.Parent
local enabled = true --represents whether the event is "cooling down"
brick.Touched:connect(function(other)
if enabled then --will not activate unless enabled
print("You just activated my trap card!") --performing normal actions
enabled = false --disabling so that the function cannot be activated again
wait(1) --the cooldown time
enabled = true --re-enabling so that the touch can be activated again
else
print("My trap card is on cooldown!") --print this if the block is touched while on cooldown
end
end)
In this code sample, a brick will print "You just activated my trap card!" when touched, then enter a disabled state in which it will not print out the same message until one second later, in which enabledis set back to true. Until it resets, the block will just print out "My trap card is on cooldown!".
