Debounce error in prompt

[Noob_Ping999 (zanyzigzag23)]

so i was normally creating a game, with a shop that used a prompt to open (it’s a GUI) and i used a basic debounce system to open & close the shop GUI but when i was messing with it i found a pretty annoying error.

so basically the first time you trigger the prompt, the GUI opens, normal right? well the second time, you have to trigger it 2 times for it to open, and it’s not really a big issue but annoying for me having to hold a prompt 2 times for it to open, and it’s because the debounce, because if i have no debounce and i trigger a prompt with no debounce and no different action, it works normally and doesn’t have to be triggered 2 times.

would be happy if someone could help fixing this, because it also happened in other games i created.

shop open code:

script.Parent.ShopFrame.Position = UDim2.new(0.05, 0, 1.4, 0) -- Setting the main position for the frame.

local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent -- The player (This is a Script so i just define the player like this)

local Prompt = workspace.Shack.ShopPart.Open
local Merchant = workspace.Shack.Merchant

-- Prompt is the button with the issue, and merchant is just a NPC with animations.

local positions = {
    openShop = UDim2.new(0.05, 0, 0.11, 0), -- Open UI animation position.
    closeShop = UDim2.new(0.05, 0, 1.4, 0) -- Close UI animation position.
}

local OPEN_TWEEN = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(script.Parent.ShopFrame, TweenInfo.new(0.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0,false,0), {Position = positions.openShop})

local CLOSE_TWEEN = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(script.Parent.ShopFrame, TweenInfo.new(0.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0,false,0), {Position = positions.closeShop})

-- OPEN_TWEEN and CLOSE_TWEEN are the tweens of the GUI.

local function open()
    OPEN_TWEEN:Play()
end

local function close()
    CLOSE_TWEEN:Play()
end

-- open and close are functions that when called, open the shop GUI.

local function isOpen() -- Checks if the shop GUI is visible.
    return script.Parent.ShopFrame.Position == positions.openShop
end

Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player) -- MAIN ISSUE HERE
    if not isOpen() then -- Works perfectly!
        open() -- open function is called.
    else -- BUT, here this else statement won't run for some reason if you don't trigger the 2 prompts as i said in the post.
        close() -- close function is called.
    end
end)

-- [[ BELOW IS ANIMATION TRACKS FOR THE MERCHANT ]]

-- // ANIMATION TRACKS

local info = game:WaitForChild("Info")
local isDay: BoolValue = info:WaitForChild("IsDay")
local isNight: BoolValue = info:WaitForChild("IsNight")

wait()

local Standing = Merchant.Merchant:LoadAnimation(script.StandLoop)
local Sitting = Merchant.Merchant:LoadAnimation(script.SitLoop)

Standing:Play()

isDay:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    if isDay.Value == true then
        Sitting:Stop()
        Standing:Play()
    end
end)

isNight:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    if isNight.Value == true then
        Standing:Stop()
        Sitting:Play()
    end
end)

the error is at the line 35 on ‘Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)’, it has a message.

by the way, all the solutions i have tried to fix this error won’t work either.

It could be that “script.Parent.ShopFrame.Position” has not the expected value, have you tried to print its value in the before the if statement ?

Meaby the animation takes longer to end

yea it doesn’t have the expected value, for that i just added another position and it got fixed, ty
