I've got a script that randomly picks one out of three animations when the player clicks, and I've tried to add debounce to it. Here's the product:

01local debounce = false
02 
03local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
04    local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
05    local Character = Player.Character
06    local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
07    UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(InputObject)
08        if InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
09    debounce = true
10local numberofanims = 3
11local num = math.random(1,numberofanims)
12    if num == 1 then
13                local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
14                Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://wasdwasdwasd"
15                local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
16                Track:Play()
17    wait (1)
18    elseif num == 2 then
19                local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
20                Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://wasdwasdwasd"
21                local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
22                Track:Play()
23    wait(1)
24    elseif num == 3 then
25                local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
26                Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://wasdwasdwasd"
27                local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
28                Track:Play()
29    wait(1)
30        end
31     end
32 end)

The problem is, the debounce has no effect. The player can still spam click their mouse and the animations are cut off. Please tell me what I did wrong.

You have a debounce but the if statement isn't checking if the debounce is true or not, so the code just runs. I didn't test this, so i have no idea if it works

01debounce = false
02 
03local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
04    local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
05    local Character = Player.Character
06    local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
07    UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(InputObject)
08        if InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not debounce then
09    debounce = true
10local numberofanims = 3
11local num = math.random(1,numberofanims)
12    if num == 1 then
13                local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
14                Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://wasdwasdwasd"
15                local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
16                Track:Play()
17    wait (1)
18    elseif num == 2 then
19                local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
20                Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://wasdwasdwasd"
21                local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
22                Track:Play()
23    wait(1)
24    elseif num == 3 then
25                local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
26                Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://wasdwasdwasd"
27                local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
28                Track:Play()
29 
30    wait(1)
31        end
32wait(1)
33debounce = false
34     end
35 end)
