This is an emergency, I added a global leaderboard to my roblox game but people are downloading autoclicker, I need to find a way to delay the tool from being spammed, here's the script.


    local sound = workspace.Sound
    local tool = script.Parent 


    tool.Activated:Connect(function() 
        local character = tool.Parent 
        local players = game:GetService("Players") 
        local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) 
        local leaderstats = player.leaderstats 
        local currency = leaderstats.GamerScore
        local addition = 500

        sound.Playing = true
        currency.Value = currency.Value + addition 


    end)

To prevent it from being spammed, you need to make a variable to see it has been used recently

local sound = workspace.Sound
local tool = script.Parent 
local enabled = true

tool.Activated:Connect(function() 
    if not enabled then return end
    enabled = false
    local character = tool.Parent 
    local players = game:GetService("Players") 
    local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) 
    local leaderstats = player.leaderstats 
    local currency = leaderstats.GamerScore
    local addition = 500

    sound.Playing = true
    currency.Value = currency.Value + addition 
    wait(5)
    enabled = true


end)

just add a wait or delay.

local sound = workspace.Sound
local tool = script.Parent 


tool.Activated:Connect(function() 
    local character = tool.Parent 
    local players = game:GetService("Players") 
    local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) 
    local leaderstats = player.leaderstats 
    local currency = leaderstats.GamerScore
    local addition = 500

    sound.Playing = true
    currency.Value = currency.Value + addition 

wait(5) -- (or you could add delay(5), depending what you choose)

end)
