Debounce wouldn't work in script for cloning onTouch?
I've made a brick that when being touched, clones the player's character on command.
The cloning part worked successfully, but it won't stop cloning once it's first clone. I plan to only made one clone.
I used a normal script parented by the part that does the function.
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local db = false
local plr = hit.Parent
local hum = plr:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid')
plr.Archivable = true
if ( hum ) and not db then
db = true
print("hi")
local clone = plr:Clone()
clone.Parent = workspace
wait(7)
db = false
clone:Destroy()
end
end)
I have used some guidance from the wiki.

db is declared in the function.
That means it will always start off as false each time the part is touched. You meant to declare it outside the function.
plr is a misleading identifier, hit.Parent will never be a player, the most it will be is a player's character.
```lua local Players = game:GetService("Players"); local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace"); local debounce = false;
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part) if (debounce) then --// return out the function if cant touch return; end
local client = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent);
--// using the humanoid to check if player is unreliable, anything can have a humanoid
if (client) then
debounce = true;
local character = client.Character;
character.Archivable = true;
character:Clone().Parent = Workspace;
wait(7);
debounce = false;
end
end); ```
