Wait after click?

So, I was wondering, how could I make this script wait until it's done running for me to be able to click again?

01function onClicked(player)  
02    local item = game.ServerStorage.Items.Logs:Clone()
03    local gui = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.MainGui.Guis.Backpack
04    local Number = script.Number.Value
05    local Run = script.Value.Value
06    Run = true
07    while Run == true do
08        if gui["B"..Number].Used.Value == false then
09            item.Parent = gui["B"..Number]
10            gui["B"..Number].Used.Value = true
11            gui["B"..Number].Image = item.ItemPic.Value
12            gui["B"..Number].Script.Disabled = false
13            Number = 1
14            Run = false
15            script.Parent.Model.Root:Destroy()
16            wait(10)
17            local tree = game.ServerStorage.Items.Tree:Clone()
18            tree.Parent = game.Workspace
19            script.Parent:Destroy()
20        else
21            wait()
22            Number = Number + 1
23        end
24    end
25end

This can be easily accomplished using debounce.

Let's add debounce to your script;

01debounce = false --Declare what debounce is
02 
03function onClicked(player)  
04    if debounce == true then return end --if debounce is on, then it will halt, if not then continue 
05    debounce = true --Now debounce is true
06    local item = game.ServerStorage.Items.Logs:Clone()
07    local gui = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.MainGui.Guis.Backpack
08    local Number = script.Number.Value
09    local Run = script.Value.Value
10    Run = true
11    while Run == true do
12        if gui["B"..Number].Used.Value == false then
13            item.Parent = gui["B"..Number]
14            gui["B"..Number].Used.Value = true
15            gui["B"..Number].Image = item.ItemPic.Value
16            gui["B"..Number].Script.Disabled = false
17            Number = 1
18            Run = false
19            script.Parent.Model.Root:Destroy()
20            wait(10) -- Since there is a wait here, it will take 10 seconds before it is able to be fired again
21            local tree = game.ServerStorage.Items.Tree:Clone()
22            tree.Parent = game.Workspace
23            script.Parent:Destroy()
24        else
25            wait()
26            Number = Number + 1
27        end
28    end
29    debounce = false -- Now debounce is false, and the script can run again
30end

32script.Parent.Model.Root.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
