How would I prevent the spam of this UserInput?
I'm currently working on a menu Gui, and I'm trying to make it to where upon pressing T, the Gui will drop down into view, and upon pressing it again, the Gui will slide back up.
So far, it works perfectly, however the only problem is, I'm unsure how to prevent players from spamming the T key and making the Gui not work correctly.
(Also, all of the waits I'm using was my attempt to provide a cooldown.) Here's my code:
local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local background = game.Lighting.MenuBackground
userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
wait(0.1)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and background.Enabled == false then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.FrameXY:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.1, 0.1, 0.3, 0.1), "Out", "Bounce", 0.6)
wait(0.1)
background.Enabled = true
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and background.Enabled == true then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.FrameXY:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.1, 0, -0.4, 0), "Out", "Quad", 0.6)
wait(0.1)
background.Enabled = false
end
end)
Any help?

You could use a boolean variable - set it to true when the gui completes its animation and check for it when the user presses T.
EDIT: Something like this, maybe:
local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local dropped = false
local finishedAnim = true
userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and finishedAnim and not dropped then
finishedAnim = false
-- drop-down animation
dropped = true
finishedAnim = true
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and finishedAnim and dropped then
finishedAnim = false
-- going up
dropped = false
finishedAnim = true
end
end)

This is something I actually tried before I wrote the current script. I couldn't get it to work, but I'll try again. SevenRubyRobes 6 — 7y
