01local living = true -- This is what I use for the debounce
02 
03script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
04    if living == true then -- Since it's true this part will run
05    local Player = game.Players[hit.Parent.Name]
06    local frame = Player.PlayerGui.DeathGui.Frame
07    local Countdown = frame.Countdown
08    if Player.Backpack.Lives.Value > 0 then -- The Lives value was set to 4
09        living = false -- But It does not change living to false
10        wait(1)
11        Player:LoadCharacter()
12        local getSpawns = workspace.Start:GetChildren()
13        local Spawn = getSpawns[math.random(1, #getSpawns)]
14 
15        workspace[Player.Name]:MoveTo(Spawn.Position)
16        Player.Backpack.Lives.Value = Player.Backpack.Lives.Value - 1
17        Player.Backpack.Playing.Value = true

How to fix this?

you're not putting a wait before settings living back to true, so it's just true instantly. killerbrenden 1537 — 5y

But in line 9 i changed it to false and on 10 i put a wait(1) then later in 18 i set it back to true... But if this is still wrong can you answer with the corrected version of this? NathanTheCraziest 105 — 5y

you have to put the wait before setting it back to true. killerbrenden 1537 — 5y

I dont understand, can you send a corrected version? NathanTheCraziest 105 — 5y

This is what Killerbrenden was trying to say:

01local living = true -- This is what I use for the debounce
02local time = 2 -- change it if you want
03-- time is the amount of time before living = true again
04 
05script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
06if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
07    -- checks if it is a player that touched it
08    if living == true then -- Since it's true this part will run
09    local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
10    -- that is a better way of getting player for this case
11    local frame = Player.PlayerGui.DeathGui.Frame
12    local Countdown = frame.Countdown
13    if Player.Backpack.Lives.Value > 0 then
14        living = false
15        -- got rid of this line because it has to be directly before
16    -- living = true. 
17        Player:LoadCharacter()
18        local getSpawns = workspace.Start:GetChildren()
19        local Spawn = getSpawns[math.random(1, #getSpawns)]
20 
21        workspace[Player.Name]:MoveTo(Spawn.Position)
22        Player.Backpack.Lives.Value = Player.Backpack.Lives.Value - 1
23        Player.Backpack.Playing.Value = true
24    wait(time) -- so it doesn't set it back instantly
25        living = true
26 
27    else
28        local timeleft = 10
29    frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.5,0))
30    for v = 1, 10 do
31        timeleft = timeleft - 1
32        Countdown.Text = timeleft
33        wait(1)
34    end
35    end
36    end
