Text Debounce doesn't seem to work?
I was making a little thing that talks once clicked, however the debounce to prevent the player from spam click and messing up the text isn't working? It works of course without any errors
StringMessages = {'Hello My Name Is Bob','I am a lovely NPC','What about you?'}
Messages = 0
Sound = script.Parent.Sound
typing = false
function NextMessage()
Messages = Messages + 1
if Messages > #StringMessages then
Messages = 1
end
Length = string.len(StringMessages[Messages])
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function()
if not typing then
typing = true
NextMessage()
for i=1,Length do
script.Parent.NameGUI.Tex.Text = (string.sub(StringMessages[Messages],1,i))
Sound:Play()
wait(.25)
end
end
typing = false
end)

You got this structure:
function MouseClick()
if not typing then
-- do stuff
typing = false
end
typing = false
end
-- First click: typing is set to false and the for-loop runs
-- Second click: if-statement is skipped, it does the "typing = false"
-- Third click: typing is false, so if-statement works again
Solution: Putting the "typing = false" inside the if-statement:
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function()
if not typing then
typing = true
NextMessage()
for i=1,Length do
script.Parent.NameGUI.Tex.Text = (string.sub(StringMessages[Messages],1,i))
Sound:Play()
wait(.25)
end
typing = false
end
end)
