How To Not Have The Players Spam A Keydown/UserInput Function?
So this is a pretty basic question, and I've looked at all the sources I could but couldn't really get a direct answer, so I'll ask here: how do I make a KeyDown()/UserInputService() that the players can't spam? For example
My Example
Let's say that you made a code that the player presses a certain key on their keyboard and an action happens, how would I make it so that way they can't spam the function? Something like this
1 | function onKeyDown(input) |
2 | local key = input.KeyCode |
3 | if key == Enum.KeyCode.Z then |
4 | --function |
5 | end |
6 | game:GetService('UserInputService').InputBegan:connect(onKeyDown) |
So..
Can you guys help me based off my example? Thanks for looking at my question, have a good day.

try adding a debounce, works for me. like "if key == Enum.KeyCode.Z and debounce == false then debounce = true end" Senor_Chung 210 — 8y

01 | local Ready = true |
02 | function onKeyDown(input) |
03 | local key = input.KeyCode |
04 | if key == Enum.KeyCode.Z and Ready == true then |
05 | Ready = false |
06 | -- Put code here |
07 | wait(1) |
08 | Ready = true |
09 | end |
10 | game:GetService('UserInputService').InputBegan:connect(onKeyDown) |
