How to make this Touched event delayed?
For this script, touching a specific brick here would play a noise, however I've noticed that you can touch this brick repeatedly and it will simply repeat the soundid from the very beginning which is very janky and abusable.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if plr then
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
end
end)
I was thinking of simply putting a delay in the script using wait() after the first use but the script doesn't seem to work
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if plr then
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
local play = script.Parent.Sound:Play()
if play then wait(15)
end
end
end
Help would be much appreciated!

To accomplish this, use a debounce. Also, the Sound:Play() method returns void, so there is no point of storing it in a variable.
local debounce = false -- will be set to true once enabled
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part) -- connect is deprecated, use Connect
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if plr and not debounce then -- if it's a player and debounce is enabled
debounce = true -- set to true first, then run code
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
wait(15) -- wait time between activations
debounce = false -- set to false again, the code can repeat. if you do not want this, remove this line
end
end)

First, i don't understand why you put it AFTER all the scripts, and second "local play...." was not needed. Here's the solved code
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if plr then
wait(15)
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
end
end)
