My debounce part of the script is not working?

Asked 375 views1 answers
local living = true -- This is what I use for the debounce

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if living == true then -- Since it's true this part will run
	local Player = game.Players[hit.Parent.Name]
	local frame = Player.PlayerGui.DeathGui.Frame
	local Countdown = frame.Countdown
	if Player.Backpack.Lives.Value > 0 then -- The Lives value was set to 4
		living = false -- But It does not change living to false
		wait(1)
		Player:LoadCharacter()
		local getSpawns = workspace.Start:GetChildren()
		local Spawn = getSpawns[math.random(1, #getSpawns)]
		
		workspace[Player.Name]:MoveTo(Spawn.Position)
		Player.Backpack.Lives.Value = Player.Backpack.Lives.Value - 1
		Player.Backpack.Playing.Value = true
		living = true
		
	else
		local timeleft = 10
	frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.5,0))
	for v = 1, 10 do
		timeleft = timeleft - 1
		Countdown.Text = timeleft
		wait(1)
	end
	end
	end
end)

How to fix this?

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

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?

you have to put the wait before setting it back to true.

This is what Killerbrenden was trying to say:

local living = true -- This is what I use for the debounce
local time = 2 -- change it if you want
-- time is the amount of time before living = true again

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
    -- checks if it is a player that touched it
    if living == true then -- Since it's true this part will run
    local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    -- that is a better way of getting player for this case
    local frame = Player.PlayerGui.DeathGui.Frame
    local Countdown = frame.Countdown
    if Player.Backpack.Lives.Value > 0 then 
        living = false 
        -- got rid of this line because it has to be directly before
	-- living = true. 
        Player:LoadCharacter()
        local getSpawns = workspace.Start:GetChildren()
        local Spawn = getSpawns[math.random(1, #getSpawns)]

        workspace[Player.Name]:MoveTo(Spawn.Position)
        Player.Backpack.Lives.Value = Player.Backpack.Lives.Value - 1
        Player.Backpack.Playing.Value = true
	wait(time) -- so it doesn't set it back instantly
        living = true

    else
        local timeleft = 10
    frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.5,0))
    for v = 1, 10 do
        timeleft = timeleft - 1
        Countdown.Text = timeleft
        wait(1)
    end
    end
    end
    end
end)
