How do I make a cooldown script without using wait()?
Hello, I'm making a fighting game (JoJo Game) and I'm wondering how do I make a cooldown without using wait(). Maybe your wondering: "Why does he need a cooldown without using wait()", It's because I'm making an attack script with a couple of attacks and if I use wait() it just stops the whole script and it just ruins the immersion.
ZZZ = Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "t" then
Blast()
end
if key == "e" then
OHOra()
end
if key == "r" then
StrongOra()
end
if key == "f" then
TimeStop()
end
if key == "z" then
Jump()
end
end)
ZZZ1 = Mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
if key == "e" then
Stop()
end
end)
wait(0.5)
D = false
This is a part of the script. So if I put a wait() in the E attack and I stop the attack I need to wait until I can do the R attack.
Help would be appreciated

Hello MajinBluee!
Since you don't want "wait()" to affect your whole script, you can use coroutines!
So basically, each time you use a coroutine you technically make a script inside a script!
It may sound confusing but a coroutine allows you to make your own cooldown system without any interruptions!
Here is an example.
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local DELAY = false
local TIMES_PRESSED = 0
local function STUFF()
print(game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Name .. " pressed the E key based on delay " .. TIMES_PRESSED .. " times!")
wait()
end
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, PROC)
if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and not PROC then
if DELAY == false then
DELAY = true
TIMES_PRESSED = TIMES_PRESSED + 1
STUFF()
coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function() -- Use this method to create coroutines and
use them quickly!
wait(2)
DELAY = false
end))
for I = 1, 2 do -- Just to prove that it works, you can also remove the loop and you will notice the delay!
print(I)
wait(1)
end
end
end
end)
So, to create a coroutine, you simply have to use the "coroutine.create()" function inside a variable, and in order to use it, you have to use the "coroutine.resume()" function, you simply have to use the created coroutine as the argument for "coroutine.resume()", and you are all done!
Another example.
local YourCoroutine = coroutine.create(function()
print("Example")
end)
for I = 1, 5 do
coroutine.resume(YourCoroutine)
wait(5)
end
