Cooldown on dash

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

this script is a dash script, double tap W and you will dash. nothing is wrong with it except the local cd is supossed to act as a 5 seconds cooldown. the bad thing is it doesnt. why doesnt it work?

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Tapped = false
local cd = false

if cd == false then
	cd = true
	UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, GameStuff)
		if GameStuff then return end
		if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
			if not Tapped then
				Tapped = true
				wait(0.3)
				Tapped = false
			else
				Char.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector*330
				local Animation = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
				Animation:Play()
				wait(5)
				cd = false
			end
		end
	end)
end

some of the " marks will be signed wrong.

You do not seem to be altering the Var Gamestuff, which when set to false prevents the player from sprinting I think.
I could be wrong, I am trying to see if there is anything else in the script I missed

its not sprinting, its a dash. theres nothing wrong with the dash its just i need a cooldown because otherwise players can essentially fly

#4

Possibly cause cd is never sent to false agian. But only in an if else that runs for a very short time.

#5

I think its because that script only functioned 1 time, so I think when you press the key and you check the cd value will be much better

-- maybe this?
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Tapped = false
local cd = false

	UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, GameStuff)
              if cd == false then
                cd = true
		if GameStuff then return end
		if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
			if not Tapped then
				Tapped = true
				wait(0.3)
				Tapped = false
			else
				Char.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector*330
				local Animation = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
				Animation:Play()
				wait(5)
				cd = false
			end
		end
         end
end)

nope, i cant dash anymore with this

#7

whats the error on the output??

#8

nothing pops up in the output.

#9

Cd has to be false to run the whole dash script, and its set to false the minute you press W or any key.

so any ideas? on what to change?

#11

Hmm maybe delete the line which sets cd to true right after it checks for cd=false
And maybe replace the code in the else with this

Char.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector*330 
cd=true
				local Animation = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
				Animation:Play()

				wait(5)
				cd = false

It sets Cd to true right after the script is run, and it sets cd to false agian after the 5 second cooldown.

#12

it doesnt seem to be working either…

#13

Here it is here, It should work, I replaced all the code for you

Seems like I’m a bit late, but a better way of keeping track of when the player pressed ‘W’ would be using os.clock()

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local debounce = false
local lastTime = os.clock()

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed) 
    if gameProcessed or debounce then 
        return
    end

    if os.clock() - lastTime < 0.3 then — time between taps
        debounce = true
        — dash code


        wait(2) — cooldown
        debounce = false
    end

    lastTime = os.clock() — reset timer
end)
