What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
To make an attack function so that my Enemy AI attacks only one every 2 seconds if in proximity of the the player.
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
The code should work but the humanoid.takedamage lines seems to play every tik before the cooldown turns off. I’ve proven this by adding a print line and it can print up to 1000+ if the player is next to the AI for a second.
This is the code:
local function attack()
local Cooldown = 3
local Debounce = false
if Debounce == false then
Entity.Head.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
Debounce = true
Entity.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = Stopping
Attack:Play()
task.wait(0.5)
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
print("You've been hit")
task.wait(Cooldown)
Attack:Stop()
Entity.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = Walkspeed
Attack.Stopped:Connect(function()
Debounce = false
end)
end
end
end)
end
end
The function is called within a heartbeat function, but I have ruled out that the heartbeat function isn’t the cause as it did this before I put it in a heartbeat function.
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I’ve tried to look at different selutions on the fourm and tried other code methods but none of them seem to work.
you need to disconnect the touch event after it’s triggered so it prevent multiple hits also just recreate the connection after the cooldown
local function attack()
local Cooldown = 3
local Debounce = false
local connection
connection = Entity.Head.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if not Debounce and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
Debounce = true
connection:Disconnect()
Entity.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = Stopping
Attack:Play()
task.wait(0.5)
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
print("You've been hit")
task.wait(Cooldown)
Attack:Stop()
Entity.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = Walkspeed
Debounce = false
attack()
end
end)
end
Unfortunatly I looks like it hasn’t helped. Maybe it is my heartbeat function. But I am not really sure. I’ll send the whole code here:
