Is there a way to delay the "Touched" event?
Read this post from the RBXDev First:
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/repro-touched-events-delayed/38118
Touched event in parts will cause lag when they collide and get fired multiple times. Causing the server's late respondent.
Like this script inside an NPC:
01 | local NPC = script.Parent |
02 | local RootPart = NPC.HumanoidRootPart |
03 |
04 | RootPart.Touched:connect(function(part) |
05 | if not part.Parent then return end |
06 | if not part.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then return end |
07 | local char = part.Parent |
08 | local hum = char.Humanoid |
09 | print('It is a player!') |
10 | end) |
In-game the player touches the NPC. The server performance goes 30% down and the script printed 50x times.
But is there a way that make this still possible? If then, how?

In case you were wondering, both legs are going on and off the part, causing it to fire multiple times. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

Sure, use a debounce. I like using tables because then the debounce time corresponds to each player and the last time they touched that npc, rather than a variable that changes everytime the npc is touched.
01 | local NPC = script.Parent |
02 | local RootPart = NPC:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") |
03 |
04 | --[[ |
05 | local touchedLast = {} |
06 | local debounce = .5 |
07 |
08 | setmetatable(touchedLast, { |
09 | __index = function(self, key) |
10 | -- if the player isn't in the table, set and return their new index |
11 | self[key] = debounce |
12 | return self[key] |
13 | end |
14 | }) |
