Debounce not working correctly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Wwhy is it printing many times on the console? I just want that when the player touches the part, the sript prints “Touched”, when it leaves the script prints “TouchedEnd”, not spam the console

SCRIPT:

Debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if not Debounce then
		print("Touched")
		Debounce = true
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Debounce then
		print("TouchedEnd")
		Debounce = false
	end
end)

#2 
Debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if not Debounce then
		print("Touched")
		Debounce = true
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Debounce then
		print("TouchedEnd")
		wait(1)
		Debounce = false
	end
end)

your supposed to add a wait im pretty sure

Touched and TouchEnded aren’t the best way to go about this. As you’ve discovered they can get really messy to deal with so I would recommend trying other more ideal methods. Since Touched events shouldn’t be the go to method of identifying if a player is within a certain region of the world.

If you could explain what your end goal is I could go about guiding you towards a better method.

I intend to make a damage script with speed reduction, and animation when the player takes damage with TakeDamage (), I already did one, but I lost and I don’t know how

What you can do is use Region3. As it has a function built in to get all parts inside of the region using WorldRoot:FindPartsInRegion3.

I not going to need to use the touched event??

My assumption, is you could use a Region3 and every X seconds, use WorldRoot:FindPartsInRegion3 to find which players are inside the box to deal damage too.

Ok thanks, I’ll try if I make it, i’ll warn you

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ZonePart = script.Parent
local Touching = false

local function isInsideBrick(Pos, Part)
	local v3 = Part.CFrame:PointToObjectSpace(Pos)
	return (math.abs(v3.X) <= Part.Size.X / 2)
	and (math.abs(v3.Y) <= Part.Size.Y / 2)
	and (math.abs(v3.Z) <= Part.Size.Z / 2)
end

local function getPlayersInsideZone(Zone)
	List = {}
	for _, Player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if (Player.Character) then
			local RootPart = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			if (RootPart and isInsideBrick(RootPart.Position, Zone)) then
				table.insert(List, Player)
			end
		end
	end
	return List
end

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if (#getPlayersInsideZone(ZonePart) > 0) then
		if not Touching then
			Touching = true
			CurrentPlayer = List[1]
			print(CurrentPlayer.Name .. " has entered")
		end
	else
		if Touching then
			Touching = false
			print(CurrentPlayer.Name .. " has left")
		end
	end
end)

That’s pretty resource intense, though

is there any way to make this script work with multiple players?
