How can I make a tool only fire an event once?

Asked 144 views1 answers

Title was hard to make and may not be descriptive enough but

I have a tool that when activated will fire an event which plays an animation

However the play can spam this

local Tool = script.Parent 
local pwr = 0.1
local mowevent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Remote.Mow


Tool.Activated:Connect(function()

		
	mowevent:FireServer(pwr)
	Tool.Enabled = false	
	wait(1)
	Tool.Enabled = true
end)

###Add a debounce. Debounce can delay code, or just stop it, depending on how you use it.

local tool = script.Parent
local debounce = false

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    if not debounce then
        debounce = true
        mowevent:FireServer(pwr)
    end
end)
