Is there a debounce for GUI Buttons?

Sort of... I wouldn't call it exactly debounce, but this sets a value to true and false so it doesn't allow them to click it again for 2 seconds. It basically does the same thing debounce would on a brick, except with some extra coding.
val = script.Parent.Able -- Name a bool value "Able"
val = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
if val == false then
--What it's supposed to do here
val = true
wait(2)
val = false
else
end
end)
You can use debounces for everything.
Debounces aren't limited to parts. It's just a matter of disabling and re-enabling a function to run. If you want to make one for a TextButton, I'd do something like this-
local btn = script.Parent
local enabled = true
btn.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() -- when the button is clicked
if enabled then -- if it is enabled
enabled = false -- disable the button
-- execute your code
wait(2) -- wait 2 seconds after a click
enabled = true -- re-enable the button
end
end)
