Coroutine being displayed as suspended despite supposedly running?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a script that handles multiple actions based on button input, each coroutine is in a dicitonary with it’s corresponding KeyCode

	[Enum.KeyCode.Q] = coroutine.create(function(Character)
		local HRP = Character.HumanoidRootPart
		local selfHumanoid = Character.Humanoid
		local animation = game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.Animation
		local raycastparams = RaycastParams.new()
		raycastparams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
		raycastparams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {HRP.Parent}
		while true do
			local result = workspace:Raycast(HRP.Position , HRP.CFrame.LookVector * 5, raycastparams)
			local AnimTrack = selfHumanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation) 
			AnimTrack:Play()
			if result then
				local humanoid = result.Instance:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model"):FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
				print(humanoid , result.Instance , result.Instance.Parent)
				if humanoid then
					humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
				end
			end
			coroutine.yield()
			wait(2)
			coroutine.yield()
		end
	end)

When I press q, the script checks wether the coroutine is suspended or not, and if it is, resumes it, the problem is that i can trigger it multiple times a second when it should wait 2 seconds the second time i trigger it.

Add the debounce to wherever the keycode checking is being performed.

Yeah it is there already, the problem is that it always acts as if the coroutine were suspended even if it’s clearly not, so i am starting to wonder if a new instance of the coroutine is made every time every time it’s resumed by the function.

In that case, try something like the following.

local onQPressed = coroutine.create(function(Character)
	local HRP = Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local selfHumanoid = Character.Humanoid
	local animation = game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.Animation
	local raycastparams = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastparams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
	raycastparams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {HRP.Parent}
	while true do
		local result = workspace:Raycast(HRP.Position , HRP.CFrame.LookVector * 5, raycastparams)
		local AnimTrack = selfHumanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation) 
		AnimTrack:Play()
		if result then
			local humanoid = result.Instance:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model"):FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
			print(humanoid , result.Instance , result.Instance.Parent)
			if humanoid then
				humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
			end
		end
		coroutine.yield()
		wait(2)
		coroutine.yield()
	end
end)

[Enum.KeyCode.Q] = coroutine.resume(onQPressed)
