Cooldown when parried

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

What do you want to achieve?
I want my player to not be able to attack while a the parry animation is played animation is being played

What is the issue?
The issue is that I don’t know how I am able to achieve this.

What solutions have you tried so far?
I have tried adding an cooldown to the cooldown variable but didn’t work.

Here is the code if needed:

-- PLAY ANIMATIONS --
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if not debounce then
		debounce = true
		
		if combo == 0 then
			one:FireServer()
			playAnim(script:WaitForChild("Attack1"))
			task.wait(cooldown)
			combo = 1
		elseif combo == 1 then
			two:FireServer()
			playAnim(script:WaitForChild("Attack2"))
			task.wait(cooldown)
			combo = 2
		else
			combo = 0
		end
		
		wait(0.75)
		debounce = false
	end

	-- PLAY ANIMATION WHEN PARRIED --
	parryEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
		playAnim(script:WaitForChild("Parried"))
	end)
end)

Any help is appreciated.

You could just set debounce to true while the animation is playing, then set it to false when it stops.

debounce = true
playAnim(script:WaitForChild("Parried"))
task.wait(1) -- or however long your wait is

debounce = false

If you’re really anxious about overlap however, you could just make it another variable that acts like debounce (something like parryStun).

I apologize, but what I meant to say is that during the parry animation you are not able to do an attack.

In red example, you can put a wait time of the animations length. The debounce tells you that tou cannot attack until the parry animation is complete.

Why not create an attribute within the player, or player’s character as such:

player:SetAttribute("Parried", false)

Then once the player gets parried ( done on the server ) you can set the attribute to true as such:

player:SetAttribute("Parried", true)

And once the parry is complete ( on the server ) then you just set the attribute to false.

And to make sure the player can’t attack while they’re parried you can edit the .Activated function of the tool to something like this:

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    if (player:GetAttribute("Parried")) then
        return
    end
end)

Hope this helps
