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
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
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
Can you post your code? It's kind of hard to answer your request if we're not sure what you're doing.

What do you mean?
Is that what you mean?
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.
Okay, I think I got it this time
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"?
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.
