How to prevent this from mass cloning?
It is an enemy spawner script, and I just finished writing it (at the time of me posting this.) It basically just pulls a model from the lighting and inserts it where ever it was in the Workspace where you placed it, but it over clones it. Anyways to prevent this?
local part = script.Parent
local Kamikaze = game.Lighting.Kamikaze
part.Touched:connect(function()
local Enemy = Kamikaze:Clone()
wait(1)
Enemy.Parent = Workspace
wait(1)
end)

You need what's called a Debounce, because, this will just keep firing and doing the exact same thing whenever it's touched
local part = script.Parent
local Kamikaze = game.Lighting.Kamikaze
local debounce = false
part.Touched:connect(function() if debounce then return end --Check if it's already running
debounce = true -- This event is running!
local Enemy = Kamikaze:Clone()
wait(1)
Enemy.Parent = Workspace
wait(1)
debounce = false -- This event has stopped, you can now touch again!
end)

So, this script is in other AI? Just remove this script from them. hiccup111 231 — 10y
