How to add a cool down on my "Dash Script"?

Asked 1,005 views1 answers

I am making a dash script and successfully did it but the players spams it. i want to fix this but i don't know how to do it.

The Code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character.Humanoid````
local humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1824890937" 

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
	if string.byte(key) == 50 then
		local playAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
		playAnim:Play()
		script.Sound:Play()
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 125
        wait(1.5)
	end
	wait(10)
end)

Assign the current machine time tick() to an upvalue (variable in an outer scope), subtract tick() from that variable and check if it's larger than an arbitrary number.

Example

local lastClicked, cooldown = 0, 2


UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if tick() - lastClicked >= cooldown then
		lastClicked = tick()
		-- ...
	end
end)

on your if statement in line 50 you can make the condition 'string.byte(key) == 50 and tick() - lastClicked > cooldown' or something similar.
