Why does this script stop working when i add a debounce to it?

Works normally, but I want the script to have a debounce. Whenever i try to add a debounce though, it just doesn't run.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(throw)
    local debounce = false
    if debounce then
        debounce = true
        script.Parent.Anchored = false
        script.Parent.Velocity = script.Parent.Velocity + Vector3.new(-100, 100, -100)
        wait(0.25)
        script.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaves.oddleaves.WeldConstraint.Enabled = false
        local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion", workspace)
        explosion.Position = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaves.oddleaves.Position
        wait(0.45)
        debounce = false
    end
end)

Whenever I try to touch the part which should start this script, nothing happens. Wiki hasn't exactly been helping very much, either.

Make sure on line three you check that it's false, not true.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(throw)
    local debounce = false
    if debounce then -- "If true then"

SO you would want it like this:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(throw)
    local debounce = false
    if not debounce then -- if not true (aka false)

Because the decision structure will only carry through if the condition is true, even though you set it false before hand.
