THIS IS NOT THE ENTIRE SCRIPT, IF YOU WISH TO SEE THE ENTIRE SCRIPT TELL ME AND I WILL UPDATE IT

Pretty much, I want a taser to drop in place of the sheriff's HumanoidRootPart when they die. One problem, when cloning the taser, it clones it roughly 10-20 times (often more) even though I added a debounce inside the function for when it's ran. The second problem, whenever I check for when a player dies to run the "HandleSheriff" function, it kills the sheriff when the bloxxer dies. I have absolutely no idea why this happens and I'm probably overlooking something. Last problem, the touched function inside the "DropNetgun" function doesn't fire when the pickup is touched.

I have no errors at all, and like I said whatever I try doesn't seem to work. If you could help me that would be awesome and my game would be one step closer to the outline being finished.

function handlesheriff(bloxxedplayer, character)
	local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	
	if humanoid then
		local backpack = bloxxedplayer:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
		local root = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			
		if backpack and root then
			humanoid:UnequipTools()
			backpack:ClearAllChildren()	
			
			dropnetgun(root.Position)
		end
	end
	
	if bloxxedplayer ~= lastbloxxer then
		local wrongdoer = sheriff
							
		if wrongdoer and wrongdoer.Character then
			local wrongdoerhumanoid = wrongdoer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
							
			if wrongdoerhumanoid then
				wrongdoerhumanoid.Health = 0
			end
		end
	end
end

local given = false

function dropnetgun(position)
	if not given then
