DeBounce and messages?

Asked by

I got a script that I am tweaking but can't get it right. It is supposed to send a message if you touch a brick it ALL works except for the part at the end where it says wait(10). I want it not to show the message repeatedly if the character keeps on stepping on the part(door). Here is my script,

db  = false
door = game.Workspace.Door
door.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        then
        db = true
        p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        m = Instance.new("Message", game.Workspace)
        m.Text = p.Name.." has found the door."
        wait(5)
        m.Text:Destroy()
        db = false
    end
end)
wait(10)

You need to check if db == false before running the code. That way, if it's true, it won't run.

db  = false
door = game.Workspace.Door
door.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
        if db == false then --debounce check
            db = true
            p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
            m = Instance.new("Message", game.Workspace)
            m.Text = p.Name.." has found the door."
            wait(5)
            m.Text:Destroy()
            db = false
        end
    end
end)
wait(10)
