Debounce not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I want to make it so that when you touch a certain part, it changes color and you get one point.
However it adds more than one point.image

How do i fix this?

if player.Team == Teams["Red"] then
		local debounce = false
		script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not debounce then
				debounce = true
				script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
				player.leaderstats.Square.Value = player.leaderstats.Square.Value + 1
				debounce = false
			end
		end)

As soon as you earn +1 squares, debounce is set back to false which is the problem. You would want to set it to false after some time:

local coolDown = -- coolDown in numbers

if player.Team == Teams["Red"] then
		local debounce = false
		script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not debounce then
				debounce = true
				script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
				player.leaderstats.Square.Value = player.leaderstats.Square.Value + 1
                wait(coolDown)
				debounce = false
			end
		end)

i should clarify that i do not want the player to be able to gain another point from this part

Then you can just set debounce to true and never set it back to false when a player earns a square:

if player.Team == Teams["Red"] then
		local debounce = false
		script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not debounce then
				debounce = true
				script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
				player.leaderstats.Square.Value = player.leaderstats.Square.Value + 1
			end
		end)
