Cooldown for spawn(function()

What I want to Achieve

Making a Cooldown for spawn(function()

The Script 
local cleanuptime = 20 -- time when its gonna cleanup

function Raycast(origin, direction, ignorelist) -- we move raycasting to a function so the final function doesnt get long
	local params = RaycastParams.new()
	params.FilterDescendantsInstances = ignorelist
	params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist

	local Result = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, params)

	return Result
end

-- final function
function Splatter(c)
	local ray = Raycast(c.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Vector3.new(0,-1,0) * 10, {c})

	if ray then -- we check if there is a ray
		-- there is a ray :D!
		if ray.Instance then -- we check if hit something
			-- it hit something!
			for i = 1,math.random(2,4) do -- 1 splatter is kind of boring why not add more!
				local splatter = game.ServerStorage.BloodSplatter:Clone() -- clone the splatter from serverstorage
				splatter.Position = ray.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(1,3),0,math.random(1,3)) -- random position
				splatter.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,math.random(10,90),0) -- random orientation
				splatter.Parent = workspace -- now we parent it to the workspace)

				spawn(function() -- appear & cleanup

					-- tween service!
					local tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(splatter.BloodTop, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine), {Transparency = 0.7})
					tween:Play() -- makes the splatter appear
					wait(cleanuptime) -- waits the cleanup time
					local clean = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(splatter.BloodTop, TweenInfo.new(5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine), {Transparency = 1})
					clean:Play()

					clean.Completed:Connect(function()
						splatter:Destroy() -- destroy the splatter when cleaning is done!
					end)
				end)
			end
		end
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(P) -- when a player is added we...
	P.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(C) -- when a character is added we...
		C.Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function()
			Splatter(C)
		end)
	end)
end)

I’m not really a fan of scripting so I do not know what I am doing, I’ve tried putting wait(10) below the spawn(function() but Nothing Seems to work. A little help would be appreciated.

Script is stored at ServerScriptStorage and the Model is stored at ServerStorage

Add a de bounce to it at spawn function thing

I recommend using task.delay(time, function())

what are you trying to achieve vs what are you seeing happen?

if you want the splatters to happen one after another, wait 20 then clean up try this.
I use task.defer instead of spawn there is a slight difference that spawn will try to run immediately where defer will run later, since it immediately task.wait(cooldowntime) there is little difference.

function Splatter(c)
	local ray = Raycast(c.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Vector3.new(0,-1,0) * 10, {c})

	if ray then -- we check if there is a ray
		-- there is a ray :D!
		if ray.Instance then -- we check if hit something
			-- it hit something!
			for i = 1,math.random(2,4) do -- 1 splatter is kind of boring why not add more!
				local splatter = game.ServerStorage.BloodSplatter:Clone() -- clone the splatter from serverstorage
				splatter.Position = ray.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(1,3),0,math.random(1,3)) -- random position
				splatter.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,math.random(10,90),0) -- random orientation
				splatter.Parent = workspace -- now we parent it to the workspace)

				-- tween service!
				local tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(splatter.BloodTop, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine), {Transparency = 0.7})
				tween:Play() -- makes the splatter appear
				task.defer(function()
					task.wait(cleanuptime) -- waits the cleanup time
					local clean = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(splatter.BloodTop, TweenInfo.new(5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine), {Transparency = 1})
					clean:Play()
					clean.Completed:Wait()
					splatter:Destroy()
				end)
			end
		end
	end
