How to make a button only do 1 disaster if it's clicked 2 or more times?

I'm making a sequel to don't press the button. It's released but if you press the button at the same time or 2 or more times it makes the disasters glitch and people mess with it and messes up. The button uses a clickdetector. Here's the button's main script :

-- Programmed by Skylark011
local db = true
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(Player)
    print("click")
    game.Workspace.lobby:Stop()
    print("GLOBAL SSEQ STOP")
    local parts = game.ServerStorage
    script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
    script.Parent.clicksound:Play()
    script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = "0"
    print("math.random is running...")
    print("CHOOSING DISASTER")
    local m = math.random(1, 11)
    if m == 1 then 
        if db then
        db = false
        print("math.random choosed 1.")
        print("OH NOES TEH TORNADO IS COMIN")
        parts.Tornado:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
        wait(25)
        game.Workspace.Tornado:Destroy()
        script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = "32"
        script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
        game.Workspace.lobby:Play()
        game.Lighting.Brightness = 2
        print("GLOBAL SSEQ START")
        wait()
        db = true
        end
    end
    if m == 2 then

        db = true
        end
end
end)

So that's the main script. I don't know what to use. I've looked on the internet but I saw nothing. Please help! Thank you Its fixed!!

I defaulted with wait(10) as you didn't provide any other requirements for activating the button again SteamG00B 1633 — 5y

What you need is a debounce, it's really simple, it doesn't let anything happen if someone presses the button more than once before you allow it.

local db = true
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(Player)
    if db then
        db=false
        --your stuff
        if you allow a new disaster then 
            db=true
        end
    end
end)

you can either use the if you allow disaster then if statement, or you can just wait a certain amount of time.

--after your stuff
wait(10) --waits 10 seconds instead
db= true

If you had done exactly what I said to do, it would've looked like this:

local db = true
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(Player)
    if db then
    db = false
    print("click")
    game.Workspace.lobby:Stop()
    print("GLOBAL SSEQ STOP")
    local parts = game.ServerStorage
    script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
    script.Parent.clicksound:Play()
    script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = "0"
    print("math.random is running...")
    print("CHOOSING DISASTER")
    local m = math.random(1, 11)
    if m == 1 then 
        print("math.random choosed 1.")
        print("OH NOES TEH TORNADO IS COMIN")
        parts.Tornado:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
        wait(25)
        game.Workspace.Tornado:Destroy()
        script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = "32"
        script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
        game.Workspace.lobby:Play()
        game.Lighting.Brightness = 2
        print("GLOBAL SSEQ START")
