Why isn't this debounce working?

Asked Jul 14, 2014444 views2 answers

Why won't it do the false statement? Please show how you managed to fix it.

local Button = script.Parent.Button
------------------------------------
	IsTouched = false--Debounce
	------------------------------------
		Button.Touched:connect(function()
				if not IsTouched then
					------------true statament------------
					IsTouched = true
						Button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
						Button.Size = Vector3.new(Button.Size.X,.5,Button.Size.Z)
					IsTouched = false--Turns it back to false
				else
					---------------false statement---------
					Button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
					Button.Size = Vector3.new(Button.Size.X,1.5,Button.Size.Z)
					
				end
		end)

I kind of edited your script, it may work now, but if not let me know (PM me on Roblox (TheeDeathCaster));

local Button = script.Parent.Button
------------------------------------
IsTouched = false--Debounce
time = 2--Time before Debounce
------------------------------------
Button.Touched:connect(function()
if not IsTouched then
IsTouched = true
Button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
Button.Size = Vector3.new(Button.Size.X,.5,Button.Size.Z)
wait(time)
IsTouched = false--Turns it back to false
Button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
Button.Size = Vector3.new(Button.Size.X,1.5,Button.Size)
end
end)

Hope this helped!

Well, it would never run the false statement because the true statement instantly changed IsTouched to true and then false, without allowing time for any other option to exist. Here's a slightly cleaner version of what Alpha did:

local Button = script.Parent.Button 
local IsTouched = false--Debounce
------------------------------------

Button.Touched:connect(function() 
	if not IsTouched then 
	------------true statament------------ 
		IsTouched = true 
		Button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green") 
		Button.Size = Vector3.new(Button.Size.X,.5,Button.Size.Z)
		
		wait(0.5) -- waits half a second so that players and other scripts have time to react
		IsTouched = false--Turns it back to false 
	
	else 
	---------------false statement--------- 
		Button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red") 
		Button.Size = Vector3.new(Button.Size.X,1.5,Button.Size.Z) 
	end 
end)
