Debounce running more than once?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am currently having a strange encounter with a debounce where it seems to be running more than once but not in the orderly manner you may think.

The game im working on is a tree cutting sim / open world (havent figured it out gameplay wise yet), where the mechanics are satisfying for the players.

The system i am working on is the log dropping system, here are the features in a list:

  • Local log drops (only drops the logs for players cutting the tree)
  • Replicates the client log on server, into the players “Logs” folder
  • has a table of all the players cutting the tree and then sends the log to that client (when tree is destroyed)
  • (logs are dropped in the client and moved to server when picked up)

I will show you the scripts:

Module (ran in the server): – fires it to the client to clone the logs after tree is destroyed

local module = {}

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local logBindableEvent = replicatedStorage.TreeStorage.BindableLog
local logToClientEvent = replicatedStorage.TreeStorage.SendLogClient
local treeStorage = replicatedStorage.TreeStorage
local log = treeStorage.LogBase

module.destroyTree = function(tree)
	local treePosition = tree:GetPivot().Position
	tree.PrimaryPart.TreeBrokenSound:Play()

	-- Gather all players cutting down the tree
	local playerIDs = {}
	if tree:FindFirstChild("PlayerIDs") then
		playerIDs = tree.PlayerIDs:GetAttributes()
	end

	-- Process logs separately from player list gathering
	for i = 1, tree:GetAttribute("LogRate") do
		local randomOffset = Vector3.new(
			math.random(-5, 5),
			0,
			math.random(-5, 5)
		)

		-- Fire log event to all players involved
		for id, v in pairs(playerIDs) do
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId(v)
			if player then
				logToClientEvent:FireClient(player, log, tree, treePosition, randomOffset)
			end
		end
		for i, v in pairs(tree:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("UnionOperation") or v:IsA("Part") then
				local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

				local properties = {
					Transparency = v.Transparency + 1
				}

				local info = TweenInfo.new(.5)

				local track = tweenService:Create(v, info, properties)

				track:Play()

				track.Completed:Connect(function ()
					if tree ~= nil then
						wait(.5)
						tree:Destroy()
					end
				end)
			end
		end
		wait()
	end
end

return module

Client – clones the log onto the target player client

local sendLogClient = game.ReplicatedStorage.TreeStorage.SendLogClient

sendLogClient.OnClientEvent:Connect(function (log, tree, treePosition, randomOffset)
	local clonedLog = log:Clone()

	clonedLog.Parent = workspace.LocalDroppedLogs
	clonedLog.Name = tree:GetAttribute("LogType") .. "Log"
	clonedLog.Position = treePosition + randomOffset
	clonedLog.Orientation = Vector3.new(math.random(1, 360), math.random(1, 360), math.random(1, 360))
	clonedLog.Size = tree:GetAttribute("LogSize")
	clonedLog.BrickColor = tree:GetAttribute("LogColour")
	clonedLog:SetAttribute("SellMultiplier", tree:GetAttribute("SellMultiplier"))
end)

LogModule (ran in the client) – can see the local players logs and fires to server after player has touched the local log.

local module = {}

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local sendLogStats = game.ReplicatedStorage.TreeStorage.SendLogStats

module.checkLogs = function(logFolder)
	for i, v in pairs(logFolder:GetChildren()) do
		local debounce = false
		
		v.Touched:Connect(function (otherPart)
			
			
			local collectionSFX = v.CollectionSound
			local humanoid = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				local character = otherPart.Parent
				local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
				local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

				if humanoidRootPart then
					local info = TweenInfo.new(.5)

					local properties = {
						Size = v.Size - Vector3.new(5, 5, 5),
						CFrame = humanoidRootPart.CFrame  
					}

					local track = tweenService:Create(v, info, properties)
				
					local logsFolder = player:FindFirstChild("Logs")
					if logsFolder and not v:GetAttribute("IsStoraged") then
						track:Play()
						collectionSFX.PlayOnRemove = true
						

						track.Completed:Connect(function ()
							wait()
							sendLogStats:FireServer(v:GetAttribute("IsStoraged"), v:GetAttribute("SellMultiplier"), v.BrickColor)
							v:Destroy()
						end)
					end
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end

return module

Server – ran when player has touched the log, this is where the issue consists

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local logBindableEvent = replicatedStorage.TreeStorage.BindableLog
local sendLogClient = replicatedStorage.TreeStorage.SendLogClient
local sendLogStats = replicatedStorage.TreeStorage.SendLogStats

local debounce = false

sendLogStats.OnServerEvent:Connect(function (player, isStoraged, sellMultiplier, brickColor)
	local logsFolder = player:FindFirstChild("Logs")

	print("event fired to server")

	if not debounce then 
		debounce = true
		print("event fired to server, with debounce")

		local clonedLog = replicatedStorage.TreeStorage.LogBase:Clone() -- replicate the local log
		clonedLog.CanTouch = false
		clonedLog.Parent = logsFolder
		clonedLog:SetAttribute("SellMultiplier", sellMultiplier)
		clonedLog:SetAttribute("IsStoraged", isStoraged)
		
		wait(.1)
		
		debounce = false
	
	end
end)

In the video below, when you pickup one log it clones 2? and when you touch 100 logs, it only clones around 60? its really inconsistent.
