How Do You Add Debounce In This Script?

Asked by

How do you add debounce in this script? I want it to wait 4 seconds before it does the second part of the coding when touched. So, it does the first action, then wait 4 seconds, next do the second action, and at last wait another 4 seconds before it does the first action again. Thanks!

local boolean = false

function onTouched()
    if boolean then
        boolean = false
--code
wait(4)
    else
        boolean = true
--code
wait(4)
    end
end


script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

local boolean = true
local action = 1

function onTouched()
    if boolean == true then
        boolean = false
        if action == 1 then
            action = 2
                --action1
            wait(4)
            boolean = true
        elseif action == 2 then
            action = 1
                --action2
            wait(4)
            boolean = true
        end
    end
end

Sorry that I am not clear xD I mean like when it is touched the first time, it does something. Then when it is touched the second time, it does a different action. GatitosMansion 187 — 8y

Thanks it worked! I have two questions, but it is not necessary to answer them, you can just ignore them if you want. Is boolean still nessesary ? Also, is there an official word to replace "action"? GatitosMansion 187 — 8y

Boolean is the debounce, you can rename it to whatever you like, as for your second question, I don't know. Maybe scope? I'm still new to scripting myself. NovaMagic 73 — 8y

Something like this should work.

local boolean = false

function onTouched()
    if not boolean then
    boolean = true
    wait(4)
    --run your code
    boolean = false
end


script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Here's a practical use for debounce.

local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if not debounce then
        debounce = true
        local hit = hit.Parent
        local hum = hit:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        hum.Health = hum.Health - 5
        wait(3)
        debounce = false
    end
end)

Sorry but I need it to do the second action, I think this only does 1 action. In my script there is 2 coding parts. I need it to do the first action, wait and then do the second action GatitosMansion 187 — 8y

Can you post your code? It's kind of hard to answer your request if we're not sure what you're doing. Almorpheus 10 — 8y
