I am currently working on a combat system but I’ve run into some problems that need to be fixed or the game won’t work how it should

I’ve tried multiple times to create a “Stun” effect on the player. But the issue is, whenever the player is hit 2 or more times, the stun function dosent stop and it runs it twice, causing glitches.

I’ve searched around and havent found anything that I could use for this.

Some help would be great.
(I’ve also tried adding a debounce effect, but if I add the debounce then hitting twice won’t stun them again so they can just walk out of a combo)

You could try setting up a system to track a player’s “state”. When the player gets stunned it can check if they’ve already been stunned and stack the effects.

It detects that they’ve been stunned and fires a function.

The function is just basiclly;

StunPlayer
Wait(StunTime)
UntStunPlayer

But when it stacks, that wait function still keeps going, meaning they get unstunned when they should still be stunned.

What I kind of meant is that you should design it so that instead of stunning the player a second time, it should just extend the time the player is stunned.

Well you can add the debounce, but make the debounce only effect the stun effect, and the combo would work no matter what

I don’t know how you set up your variables and functions, but try doing something like this:

This script was taken from Davidii’s Bridge Defense and slightly modified.

	local function Stun (part, damage)
		if not part then return false end
		local model = part.Parent
		if not model then return false end
		local human = model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if not human then return false end
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(model)
		if not player then return false end
		if player.Stunned == true then return false end -- This assumes you used a bool value stored as a child of the player.


		human.JumpPower = 0
		human.WalkSpeed = 0
		player.Stunned = true

		wait(0.5)
	
		
		human.WalkSpeed = 16
		human.JumpPower = 50
                player.Stunned = false


		
		return true
	end

In the script, all I need is a way to edit the stun time. In the function, once it starts waiting that time you can’t change the time from there. For example, lets say I put the stuntime to 2 seconds. The function runs wait(2), however if I then try and change the stun time back to 2 or any other number, it just keeps waiting 2 seconds and dosent update.

Could you possibly provide the code you’re using right now?

if script.Stunned.Value == true then
	print("STARTED")
	AllAttacksPaused = true
	Freeze()
	StunnedTimedAnim1:Play()
	print("WAITING")
	wait(script.StunTime.Value)
	print("WAITED")
	StunnedTimedAnim1:Stop()
	Unfreeze()
	AllAttacksPaused = false
	print("FINISHED")
end

So the question here is what are you looking to get out of it, if you hit a stunned player do you want the stun effect to increase its time length? If that’s something you’d want you could do something along the lines of using a NumberValue or IntValue; Each time the player is it you increment said value, and either in a separate script you can just use a

AllAttacksPaused = true
StunnedTimedAnim1:Play()
repeat Number.Value = Number.Value - decrementvalue wait(timebetweendecrements) until NumberValue.Value <= 0
Unfreeze()
AllAttacksPaused = false

I’d like to note that if you took an approach like this you’d want to run the function once, as the value changes from 0 to whatever number.

@DrAdministration

I’ve amended the sample code you posted in your reply, I’m not sure how your code as a whole looks, but I thought something like this might work.

local stunTime = 0

local function StunPlayer()
  stunTime = stunTime + 5
  -- include standard function
end

StunPlayer()
while stunTime > 0 do
   wait(1)
   stunTime == stunTime - 1
end
if stunTime <= 0 then
   -- unstun player OR create an UnStun function
end

Let me know if this works or not. (I have amended this reply a few times to fix any complications that might arise from what I initially presented you with.)

Im trying this so far.

It seems to be working for now. I’ll add a few snip bits and if all goes well I’ll mark it as the solution. Thanks for the help even if it was an easy solution. I don’t use repeat until that often as sad as it is so I never think to go for it.

I made a system like that, use modulescript with a table, so when player be stunned you save on table, and ALL times player Will be stunned you check if he is already stunned

There’s a really easy fix for this
Sorry for the late reply…

-- Make sure the animation is looped :D
local anim = script.StunnedAnimation -- This animation will play when a player is stunned
function stun(targetHum, stunDuration)
        for i, playingAnims in pairs(targetHum:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
              if playingAnims.Name == anim.Name then
                  playingAnims.Stopped:Wait()
              end
        end
        local stunPlay = targetHum:LoadAnimation(anim)
        stunPlay:Play()
        targetHum.WalkSpeed = 0
        wait(stunDuration) 
        stunPlay:Stop()
end
-- Example on how to use it ( For example you already obtained the humanoid of the target
stun(targetHumanoid, 10)
-- If there is any bugs, please reply on what the bug is thanks! :D
