How would you add debounce to this script and how would it work?

✓ Accepted answer

To add a debounce, you can do this:

local Debounce = false -- Debounce variable
local Sound = script.Parent.Sound

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    if (Debounce) then return end -- If it's already on, do nothing.
    	Debounce = true -- Turn on debounce.
    	Sound:Play()
    	wait(2)
    	Debounce = false -- Turn off debounce.
	end
end)

Hope this helped you.

Here is an example debounce script

local debounce = false

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	if debounce = false then
		debounce = true
		print("On")
	else
		debounce = false
		print("Off")
	end
end)
