Speedcoil giver gives multiple speed coils every time touched?
i am not very good at scripting so i need a little help. The item giver i made gives a speedcoil to the person who touched it. But the problem is every time the character touched it, it adds another speed coil to the inventory. things to know --- Speed coil is in server storage
1 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | if plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild('SpeedCoil') or plr.StarterGear:FindFirstChild('SpeedCoil') or game.Workspace[plr.name]:FindFirstChild('SpeedCoil') then |
3 | game.ServerStorage.SpeedCoil:Destroy() |
4 |
5 | end |

What you are looking for is called a Debounce! As in No bouncing! It's what programmers use to account for the microsopic bounces that happen with buttons, touch evens it game, ect..
The most common way to fix this is simple!
1 | local debounce -- this is what we are using! |
2 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function() -- simple example touched function |
3 | if debounce then return end -- this says, If debounce (or "is bouncing") then stop the script. |
4 | debounce = true -- if debounce isnt true then lets make it true |
5 | print"touched" |
6 | wait(0.5) -- cool down of 0.5 seconds between touches! |
7 | debounce = nil -- turn off boucning so it can be used again |
8 | end |

Since the Giver i made is kind of different than just a touch the front giver, i am not sure a debounce would work for it since it has many complicated parts held together by one script. So basically when i put this script in the parent i would think would suit it, it wouldnt work. sweetlittlegirlohhl -22 — 7y
