Cooldown doesnt working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am making one gun and I want to put cooldown on it I tried something like this:

local cooldown = 5
local isCoolingDown = false

[...] -- some scripts parts--

--shoothing function--
button1DownListener = Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
			isCoolingDown = true
			if tool.Ammo.Value > 0 then
				debounce = true
				RemoteEvent:FireServer(tool.BulletLocation.Position, tool.BulletLocation.Orientation, Mouse.Hit.p)
				Gun_Sound:Play()
				Shoot:Play()
				tool.Ammo.Value = tool.Ammo.Value - 1
			else
				Empty_Sound:Play()
				Shoot:Play()
			end
			wait(cooldown)
			isCoolingDown = false
		end)

What is wrong? I dont understand.

You aren’t checking if IsCoolingDown = true.
And, do you have a variable called debounce?

#3

Isn’t the variable isCoolingDown your debounce?

Try adding something like this:

local isCoolingDown = false
local coolDown = 5

if not isCoolingDown then
	
	isCoolingDown = true
	wait(coolDown)
	isCoolingDown = false
end

Change to:

button1DownListener = Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
            if isCoolingDown then return end
			isCoolingDown = true
			if tool.Ammo.Value > 0 then
				debounce = true
				RemoteEvent:FireServer(tool.BulletLocation.Position, tool.BulletLocation.Orientation, Mouse.Hit.p)
				Gun_Sound:Play()
				Shoot:Play()
				tool.Ammo.Value = tool.Ammo.Value - 1
			else
				Empty_Sound:Play()
				Shoot:Play()
			end
			wait(cooldown)
			isCoolingDown = false
		end)

you arent really checking if the cooldown is equal to false,
you should make this instead:
local cooldown = 5
local isCoolingDown = false

[…] – some scripts parts–

–shoothing function–
button1DownListener = Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if CoolingDown == false then
isCoolingDown = true
if tool.Ammo.Value > 0 then
debounce = true
RemoteEvent:FireServer(tool.BulletLocation.Position, tool.BulletLocation.Orientation, Mouse.Hit.p)
Gun_Sound:Play()
Shoot:Play()
tool.Ammo.Value = tool.Ammo.Value - 1
else
Empty_Sound:Play()
Shoot:Play()
end
wait(cooldown)
isCoolingDown = false
end
end)

Yes I have debounce variables in my scripts.

Oh ok… I have to change the variable I did before something like wait(5)

(the cooldown variable is “isCoolingDown” and not “db”)
Thank you and thanks for everyone how replied too and sorry for the delay.
