How do I debounce this script that uses a bindable event?
I am making a script so when a player clicks a particular part it increases variable 'progress' whilst they are within range of the part. The first script is here:
01 | local working = false |
02 | local toolbox = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Workspace.gen1.toolbox.detector |
03 | local clickDetector = toolbox:WaitForChild("ClickDetector") |
04 | clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player) |
05 | while wait(1) do |
06 | local Mag = (script.Parent.toolbox.walkto.Position-Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude |
07 | if Mag >= script.Parent.Range.Value then |
08 | working = false |
09 | print("working = false") |
10 | end |
11 | if Mag <= script.Parent.Range.Value then |
12 | working = true |
13 | game.Workspace.gen1.working:Fire() |
14 | print("working = true") |
15 | end |
16 | end |
17 | end) |
The script that increments the value when the event is fired is here:
1 | local progress = 0 |
2 | game.Workspace.gen1.working.Event:Connect(function() |
3 | wait(1) |
4 | progress = progress + 1 |
5 | print(progress) |
6 | end) |
My problem is that the player can just click click detector infinitley spamming the event to update progress by one, how can I debounce this?

This should work:
01 | local working, debounce = false, true |
02 | local toolbox = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Workspace.gen1.toolbox.detector |
03 | local clickDetector = toolbox:WaitForChild("ClickDetector") |
04 | local waitTime = 1 |
05 | clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player) |
06 | while wait() do |
07 | local Mag = (script.Parent.toolbox.walkto.Position-Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude |
08 | if Mag >= script.Parent.Range.Value then |
09 | working = false |
10 | print("working = false") |
11 | end |
12 | if Mag <= script.Parent.Range.Value and debounce then |
13 | debounce = false |
14 | working = true |
15 | game.Workspace.gen1.working:Fire() |

second script:
1 | local progress = 0 |
2 | game.Workspace.gen1.working.Event:Connect(function() |
3 | progress = progress + 1 |
4 | print(progress) |
5 | --adding a wait in this code won't do any thing besides delay the code. |
6 | end) |
(Sorry that my first awnser wasn't what you wanted. I misunderstuud your question.)

Running this code shows only working being printed to the output, meaning it isn't running when working = true Marty999 82 — 6y

Oh you wanted a debounce for your first script? Hold on, I'll edit the reply. jaschutte 324 — 6y

Haha sorry I thought that was for the first script not the second, got variable names mixed up. Don't bother. It works fine. Thank you so much! :) Marty999 82 — 6y
