Cooldown on Remote Event for a specific player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Ok so basically i want to make something using a remote event that has a 0.5 seconds cooldown per player. Basically there is no point doing something about that in the local script since can be bypassed really easy so i am asking if its possible OnServerEvent to have that cooldown but per player and not a cooldown in general. Any ideas? Help is appreciated

Maybe you want to have a debounce on the server script waiting for the remote event to fire?

#3 
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Event --event you want to add debounce
local Debounce = 1 --secound to debounce
local DebounceForPlayer = {}

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local CanceledForDebounce
	if DebounceForPlayer[player] == nil then
		CanceledForDebounce = false
	elseif DebounceForPlayer[player]+Debounce >= tick() then
		CanceledForDebounce = false
	else
		CanceledForDebounce = true
	end
	DebounceForPlayer[player] = tick()
	if not CanceledForDebounce then
		--some code
	else
		player:kick("You spammed too much!")
	end
end)

i’d rather like to use tick as its more reliable imo.

local playerTable = {} -- create an empty table to store an index for everyone in
local someRemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent-- an example event
local cooldownTime = 4 -- used 4 seconds as an example

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if not playerTable[player.Name] then -- if there isn't an entry for the player already
		playerTable[player.Name] = tick() -- Create a new entry in the table for each new player, and make the index their name so we can access it later
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	if playerTable[player.Name] then -- if there's an entry of the player in the table
		playerTable[player.Name] = nil -- remove it from the table
	end
end)

someRemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
if tick() - playerTable[player.Name] > cooldownTime then -- If the time is greater than the cooldown time (so if more than 4 seconds have passed since the last time you set the player's index in the playerTable to tick()
		playerTable[player.Name] = tick() -- set it back to tick() so it resets
   --CODE HERE
end
end)

Just to point out the reason i want this is to avoid someone firing the remote extremely quick and causing server lag. dolly when i used your code for some reason everytime when i fire it the 2nd time it kicks me even after 10 seconds. tacky your code worked perfectly fine. Thanks everyone for contributing <3
