Why does this only run once WITH debounce?

Asked 209 views1 answers

I want this to be fixed but I can't seem to figure it out. I tried getting rid of debounce but then my script runs forever and I don't need that.. 

wait(3)
debounce = false
Water = game.Workspace.Ocean2
Char = script.Parent.Parent
function onTouch()
	if debounce == false then
		Foam = Instance.new("Part")
		Foam.Parent = Char.Character.Torso
		Foam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Mid gray")
		Foam.CFrame = CFrame.new(Char.Character.Torso.Position)
		Foam.Anchored = true
		Foam.CanCollide = false
		Foam.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
		Foam.TopSurface = "Smooth"
		Foam.Transparency = 0.35
		Foam.Size = Vector3.new(6,1,6)
		script.Parent.Script.Sound:Play()
		wait(1.3)
		debounce = true
	end
end
Water.Touched:connect(onTouch)
--// Please put your code within code blocks yourself in the future; in the question editor all you have to do is click the blue button and put your code between the lines.

All of that only happens once

You were almost there, but you need to keep in mind that the debounce needs to find a way back to being false if you want it to run again

Your script:

wait(3)
debounce = false
Water = game.Workspace.Ocean2
Char = script.Parent.Parent
function onTouch()
	    if debounce == false then
		debounce = true --Set it true here so that it will not run again
	        Foam = Instance.new("Part")
	        Foam.Parent = Char.Character.Torso
	        Foam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Mid gray")
	        Foam.CFrame = CFrame.new(Char.Character.Torso.Position)
	        Foam.Anchored = true
	        Foam.CanCollide = false
	        Foam.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
	        Foam.TopSurface = "Smooth"
	        Foam.Transparency = 0.35
	        Foam.Size = Vector3.new(6,1,6)
	        script.Parent.Script.Sound:Play()
	        wait(1.3)
	    end
--Once it's done running, the function will set debounce to 'false' again to allow it to run once more.
	debounce = false
end
Water.Touched:connect(onTouch)

Let me know if that fixes your issues or if you have any other questions.
