Debounce dont work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I have a System, when you click the Textbutton it will send a Remote Event to the Server and you will added into a Table, it also have a Textbutton what also sends a Remote Event to the Server to remove the Player from the Table.
Now i have a problem, if i click the Button fast multiple Times the Script will crash and to avoid it, i maked something like this:

local debounce = false

if debounce == false then
debounce = true

– Code

debounce = false
end

But it dont works. Is it a good Idea to add wait() or do i have another better Options?

local debounce = false

if debounce == false then
debounce = true

–Code
wait(0.1)
debounce = false
end

How long should i wait? wait(1)? wait(0.1)? wait(0.01)

But this dont make any Sense why it dont works without wait, can it be that its taking to long to insert a Player inside the Table?
Could somoene help me, Thanks!

local debounce = false

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   if debounce == false then
      --your script
      debounce = true
      wait(1)
      debounce = false
   end
end)

The answer to your question is yes, to add a wait. Because of the crashes, you’ll have to figure out how long you need to wait in order for it not to crash. It just depends on what you’re doing.

I think you had it right the first time.

7

I tried it and its not working also with the also 1 sec or 5 sec waiting Time. Its crashing everytime.

8

But thats also not working, the Script working perfectly when i dont press it fast multiple times, it has no waiting Time in the Script.

9

Change it back to how he had it before he edited it… move the “debounce = true” to above the code.

10

I have it like that but its not working

11

Can you show us the current code?

12

I could send the Game and u can click Start multiple times then it will crash.
Do i need to do the local debounce == false in the Function or outside of the ServerScript?

13

Then it’s a problem with your code.

14

The debounce should be in a local script if it’s not. (To prevent the debounce happening to multiple players)

15

No, this is how a debounce works. It must be a problem with their code.

16

When the function checks for a false debounce and finds one it should immediately then receive a true debounce before it executes your code, see the API:

This is atleast how i understand debounce… it would defeat the point for it to receive the true debounce after code.

17

Well, I believe it works both ways. They way I have it, is that it runs the code and then sets the debounce to true and waits 1 second. It’s still waiting the given time and setting to false afterwards.

23

Does this code work like this? Isn’t it producing a lot of errors?

Edit: i took out some unreferenced debounce lines, but i still get a ton of red and blue errors.
Here is the edited version, the rest of the debounces are good, but I don’t know about the rest of the script and its errors:

Its working i just changed some names to like “sC” because its larger in the realscript it can be that i dont changed all of them. But its working good, if i click it fast then not.

This should work
