TouchEnded Working Fine In Studio But Is Constantly Fired In A Real Game?

Asked by

Through a local script, I made Touch and TouchEnded functions set up with a debounce. It's linked to a server script through a remote event if you're wondering why I'm using a local script. For some reason, when the character is touching the part, the functions get spammed.

Local Script:

local stuff = script.Parent
local bar = stuff:WaitForChild("Bar")
local point = workspace:WaitForChild("CapturePointC")
local model = point:WaitForChild("CircleThings")
local cappoint = model:WaitForChild("CapturePoint")
local mainscript = cappoint:WaitForChild("Capture")
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local events = rs:WaitForChild("CapturePoints")
local point1 = events:WaitForChild("PointC")
local point1stop = events:WaitForChild("PointCStop")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
local torso = char:WaitForChild("Hitbox")
local ifcap = char:WaitForChild("IfCapturing")
local touching = false

torso.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if touching == false then
        touching = true
        if ifcap.Value == false then
            if hit == cappoint then
                print('ok')
                stuff.Visible = true
                point1:FireServer()
            end
        end
    end
end)

torso.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit == cappoint then
        touching = false
        point1stop:FireServer()
        print('ok2')
        stuff.Visible = false
    end
end)

You shouldn’t handle touched event locally. User#19524 175 — 5y

Basically what TheeDeathCaster said.

local isTouching = false

torso.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit == cappoint then
    if isTouching == false then
    isTouching = true
        touching = false
        point1stop:FireServer()
        print('ok2')
        stuff.Visible = false
    wait(1.5) -- Just change this to how much time you think the touch end will be over in.
    isTouching = false
    end
    end
end)

This is basically Debounce. You can also find it here as a better explanation. http://robloxdev.com/articles/Debounce
