How do I make this have a cool-down time?
I made this script in order to spawn an object when a button is pressed and that part works, but the problem is when I tried to make a cool-down. Now, it is just always showing as ready = 1 and never 0 so there is no cool-down. Why?
local ready = script.Parent.Parent.Ready.Value
local Spawner = Vector3.new(157.326, 8.715, 26.577)
local Clicker = script.Parent
local Object = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Cardboard")
local ObjectSpawn = script.Parent.Parent.Spawn
local ready = 1
if ready == 1 then
Clicker.MouseClick:Connect(function()
ready = 0
local CloneObject = Object:Clone()
CloneObject.Parent = game.Workspace
CloneObject:MoveTo(Spawner)
wait (12)
end )
ready = 1
end
if ready == 0 then
script.Parent.Parent.BrickColor=BrickColor.new("Bright red")
print("ready = 0")
else
print ("Ready = 1")
end

This is easy to accomplish. Here is a simple example of a debounce:
local debounce = false -- this doesn't need to be named debounce, just preference.
Clicker.MouseClick:Connect(function()
if not debounce then
-- by setting debounce to true, we will keep this code from executing
-- too quickly. "if not debounce then" ensures this. It is about the
-- same as "if debounce == false then"
debounce = true
-- here, you just put what you want to happen when the button
-- is clicked
print('Clicker was clicked!')
wait(3) -- wait a period of time before setting debounce to false
debounce = false
-- now that debounce is false again, this code can execute next
-- time Clicker.MouseClick is fired
end
end)
Just apply this to your own code, defining the appropriate variables. Please comment if you have any questions.

Thx for this I actually was about to mark this question as answered because I figured out how to use a debounce, and this is near exact to what I had. Thanks Again! KingCheese13 21 — 5y
