Should this code work more than once?
I have been getting word that this works only once, but it seems that it should work multiple times.
01 | debounce=false |
02 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
03 | print(hit.Name) |
04 | plr=game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
05 |
06 |
07 | if plr then |
08 | print(plr.Name) |
09 | if debounce==true then |
10 |
11 |
12 | elseif debounce==false then |
13 | debounce=true |
14 | local PointsService = Game:GetService("PointsService") |
15 |

It looks fine to me. Have you tested it? By the way, your indentation could use some work. It's very difficult to read. MrFlimsy 345 — 10y

Yeah, what is weird is, in my game, people have been complaining that it stops working Tempestatem 884 — 10y

Perhaps you're running out of Player Points to distribute? MrFlimsy 345 — 10y

No, I already thought if that, it isnt that. I am almost considering it could be a stack end in the part of it, causing it to work once? I thought maybe the CollectSound isnt in PlayerGui. Tempestatem 884 — 10y

WAIT, does it matter if I say "plr=stuff" or "local plr=stuff" Tempestatem 884 — 10y

1) pointsToAward <= to 0, not just "<". 2) You're not checking whether the game has 50 or 25 points to award, so it should really be pointsToAward <= 24 or 49, depending on the pass status. GoldenPhysics 474 — 10y

The game has not run out of points. Its nothing to do with that. In game output tells me that "plr" is a nil value Tempestatem 884 — 10y

After removing the actual content of the script, you can clearly see that debounce will not be set back to false unless a certain set of criterion is matched every time. If for one time it isn't, it never works again. You should be setting debounce to false in the same block that it's being set to true. That would look more like this:
1 | ... |
2 | debounce=true |
3 | if ... then |
4 | ... |
5 | end |
6 | debounce=false |
7 | ... |
