fire clone breaks debounce?
function onTouched(hit)
local debounce = false
local human = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
local genfire = script.Parent.Fire:clone()
if (human ~= nil) and debounce == false then
debounce = true
genfire.Parent = human.Parent:findFirstChild("Torso")
wait(5)
genfire:Destroy()
wait(10)
debounce = false
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
genfire is a variable and i am destroying it after five seconds, but i tested this and the debounce broke

The issue is that a new debounce variable is declared each time the part is touched.
So it's "local" to that one touch and not "global".
What you should be doing is declaring it at the top so the function writes to and reads the same variable each time and not a new one each time
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid and not debounce then
debounce = true
local genfire = script.Parent.Fire:Clone()
genfire.Parent = humanoid.RootPart -- RootPart is a property of humanoid
wait(5)
genfire:Destroy()
wait(10)
debounce = false
end
end)
I also cleaned up the code and removed deprecated items, like :clone, :findFirstChild, :connect which are deprecated in favour of the uppercase versions.
