I got some help yesterday on my fireball script, and turns out I made a few errors. I got help and It was fixed. I would like the fireball be similar to Elemental Battlegrounds' Fireball. Now I'm trying to experiement of how to make a wait function "wait(5)" so you won't be able to spam the spell. It won't work, and I don't know why, and I made an explode model instead of using ROBLOX's default explosion. So I need help. Here's what I have.

01local me = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local tool = script.Parent
03local ws = game:GetService("Workspace")
04 
05tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
06    mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
07        handle = me.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
08        if handle== nil then
09            handle=me.Character.UpperTorso
10            end
11        local p = Instance.new("Part")
12        p.CFrame = CFrame.new(handle.Position)
13        p.TopSurface = "Smooth"
14        p.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
15        p.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
16        p.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
17        p.CanCollide = false
18        p.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
19        p.Parent = ws
20        local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
21        bv.Parent = p
22        bv.velocity = (mouse.Hit.p - handle.Position).unit*90
23        p.Touched:connect(function(hit)
24            if hit.Parent.Name ~= me.Character.Name then
25                hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(5)
26            end
27        end)
28        game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(p, 7)
29    end)
30end)

Here's the issue for your cooldown, you must use a debounce function. It would help out greatly, because if you use the wait, you can still spam it, but the spam will be delayed to 5 seconds after. Here is your script with debounce implemented:

01local me = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local tool = script.Parent
03local ws = game:GetService("Workspace")
04local debounce = false
05 
06tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
07    mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
08    if not debounce then
09    debounce = true
10        handle = me.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
11        if handle== nil then
12            handle=me.Character.UpperTorso
13            end
14        local p = Instance.new("Part")
15        p.CFrame = CFrame.new(handle.Position)
16        p.TopSurface = "Smooth"
17        p.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
18        p.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
19        p.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
20        p.CanCollide = false
21        p.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
22        p.Parent = ws
23        local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
24        bv.Parent = p
25        bv.velocity = (mouse.Hit.p - handle.Position).unit*90
26        p.Touched:connect(function(hit)
27            if hit.Parent.Name ~= me.Character.Name then
28                hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(5)
29        wait(5)
30        debounce = false
31            end
32        end)
33        game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(p, 7)
34    end)
35end)

Make sure to notify me if this does not work!

It works, but made a new problem, I typed it on my answers, so what the error is, is whenever the ball hits the Baseplate or something without a humanoid, it will not recharge. Jxemes 75 — 7y
