Debounce Variable Situation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m pretty new to scripting. Although, I came across an error when I was scripting a Debounce Variable thing. My main goal is to make the player wait a certain amount of seconds (10 seconds in this case) to heal themselves again, but when I tried to test it, it doesn’t work. Could I have any advice on how to fix this script?

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

What does the error message says?

#3

The strange thing is, there’s no error in the output. It just doesn’t work in general.

#4

I can see the issue right away, but do you mind copy pasting the code here so I can write a fix?

#5

local debounce = true

if debounce == false then

debounce = true

wait(10)

local tool = script.Parent

tool.Activated:Connect(function()

local humanoid = tool.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)

humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health + 25

end)

end

#6 
local debounce = true
	local tool = script.Parent

	tool.Activated:Connect(function()

		local humanoid = tool.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
	if humanoid and debounce == true then
		debounce = false
		humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health + 25
		task.wait(10)
		debounce = true
		end
	end)

should fix it

#7

the reason it doesnt work is because debounce is true and it only does it on the call of debounce being false

#8

Thank you so much for your help.
