So i made a script to open a gui when you press a key but if you will mash the key the gui will kinda brake. I want to know if there is a way to block they key when the gui is tweening so it doesnt bug it out

view source
01button = script.Parent.button
02frame = script.Parent.Parent.ColorsAvailable.Frame
03stop = script.Parent.button.waiting
04stop1 = script.Parent.button.waiting.dot1
05stop2 = script.Parent.button.waiting.dot2
06stop3 = script.Parent.button.waiting.dot3
07text = script.Parent.button.TextButton
08mouse= game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
09a=0
10mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
11if (string.lower(key) == "c") and (a==0) then
12    a=1
13game.Soundscape.buttonpress.PlaybackSpeed = 1
14game.Soundscape.buttonpress:Play(1)

You could use another debounce. For example, this could be the outline for your code:

view source
01tweening = false --Another debounce for tween control
02a=0
03mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
04    if (string.lower(key) == "c") and (a==0) and tweening == false then --If not tweening already
05        tweening = true --Change tweening to true so that another tween can't happen while already tweening
06        a = 1
07        tweening = false
08    elseif(string.lower(key)=='c') and (a==1) and tweening == false then --If not tweening already
09        tweening = true
10        a = 0
11        tweening = false
12    end
13end)

Hope that helps
