How to destroy an object after touch function with debounces?
So I am creating a script for an interactive garden. If the player steps on the soil which contains a seed on top, the seed dissolves. When a player walks on it once again, a sprout slowly appears. I did that part successfully using two debounce variables.
But I want to continue the script. If the player walks across the soil which now contains the sprout, the sprout will dissolve and a flower will bloom in place.
This is the script so far:
debounce = false
rebounce = false
mbounce = false
script.Parent.Soil.Touched:connect(function()
if not debounce then
debounce = true
for i = 0, 1, 0.1 do
script.Parent.Seed.Transparency = i
wait (0.1)
end
wait(20)
debounce = false
end
if not rebounce then
rebounce = true
for i = 1, 0, -0.1 do
script.Parent.Sprout.Transparency = i
wait (0.1)
end
wait(20)
rebounce = false
if not mbounce then
mbounce = true
for i = 0, 1, 0.1 do
script.Parent.Sprout.Transparency = i
wait (0.1)
end
wait(20)
mbounce = false
end
end
end)
wait(5)
script.Parent.Sprout:Destroy()
How come when I use the "Destroy" Instance, it doesn't work at all?
Also, I want to do the for loop to get rid of the sprout, so it can appear to dissolve. But, when I did the for loop with a separate debounce variable, it did not work at all.

I like your idea. Upvoted. Now, in this kind of script, I would suggest you a situation variable, like...
local Situation = "Nothing"
When touched is fired, put an if condition and do seeding process.
if Situation == "Nothing" then
--Seeding process
Situation = "Seed"
end
And same for others, but you have to use Elseif for this.
if Situation == "Nothing" then
--Seeding process
Situation = "Seed"
elseif Situation == "Seed" then
--Sprouting process? I am not good at flowers
Situation = "SproutOff"
elseif Situation == "SproutOff" then
--Sprouting now???
Situation = "SproutOn"
end
And if we get all those things together...
local Debounce = false
local Situation = "Nothing"
script.Parent.Soil.Touched:connect(function()
if Debounce == false then
Debounce = true
if Situation == "Nothing" then
--Seeding process
elseif Situation == "Seed" then
--Sprouting process? I am not good at flowers
Situation = "SproutOff"
elseif Situation == "SproutOff" then
--Sprouting now???
Situation = "SproutOn"
end
Debounce = false
end
end
Please consider adding wait lines inside if statements. Putting them outside would confuse you, I think...
Edit: Use destroy inside function if you want to destroy something.
Did this help you? Then please upvote and accept as an answer. (Please upvote, I need those :'( )
This is disappointing, superalp beat me to it, oh well, I spent a lot of time on this so I'll share anyways lol
local debounce = false
local seedUsed = false
local sproutGrowing = false
local flowerBloomed = false
local goal = {}
local function TweenPart(part, Time, goal)
game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(part, TweenInfo.new(Time), goal):Play()
end
script.Parent.Soil.Touched:Connect(function()
if not debounce then
debounce = true
if not seedUsed then
seedUsed = true
goal.Transparency = 1
TweenPart(script.Parent.Seed, 1, goal)
wait(20)
debounce = false
elseif seedUsed and not sproutGrowing then
sproutGrowing = true
goal.Transparency = 0
TweenPart(script.Parent.Sprout, 1, goal)
wait(20)
debounce = false
elseif seedUsed and sproutGrowing and not flowerBloomed then
flowerBloomed = true
goal.Transparency = 1
TweenPart(script.Parent.Sprout, 1, goal)
wait(20)
debounce = false
end
end
end)
Your system with multiple debounces was going in the right direction, but just made everything confusing, so I made this use variables to help determine which "phase" of growth the plant is in.
Also, I converted your for i = #, #, # loop to animate into TweenService, which makes it look a lot smoother, and removes some math to make it easier.
