Dribbling cooldown?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I have a dribbling script and for some reason, there is a cooldown on my dribbles. You may think this is because of the isKicking value, but no matter how low I set the cooldown for that, it doesn’t affect anything? It’s like there is some built in cooldown preventing me from kicking the ball really fast. I have seen other games that do not have this sort of issue.

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local FORCE_LIFETIME = .3
local FORCE_MULTIPLIER = 15

local modules = ReplicatedStorage.Modules
local ToolController = require(modules.ToolController)

local tool = script.Parent
local animations = tool:WaitForChild("Animations")

local localPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = localPlayer.Character or localPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
local torso = character:WaitForChild("Torso")
local rightArm = character:WaitForChild("Right Arm")
local leftArm = character:WaitForChild("Left Arm")
local rightLeg = character:WaitForChild("Right Leg")
local leftLeg = character:WaitForChild("Left Leg")

local dribbleAnimation = animations:WaitForChild("Dribble2")
local dribbleAnimationTrack: AnimationTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(dribbleAnimation)

local expectingInput = false
local isKicking = false

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse: Mouse)
	expectingInput = true
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	expectingInput = false
end)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input: InputObject, gameProcessedEvent: boolean)
	if gameProcessedEvent or not expectingInput then
		return
	end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
		print("Pressing")
		isKicking = true
		torso.CollisionGroup = "IgnoreBall"
		dribbleAnimationTrack:Play(0)
		task.delay(.05, function()
			isKicking = false
			torso.CollisionGroup = "Default"
			dribbleAnimationTrack:Stop(0)
		end)
	end
end)

rightLeg.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart: BasePart)
	if otherPart.Name ~= "Ball" then
		return
	end
	if not isKicking then
		return
	end
	if ToolController:getCurrentLeg() ~= "Right" then
		return
	end
	isKicking = false
	ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.SetNetworkOwner:FireServer(otherPart)
	local reactVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	reactVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
	reactVelocity.Velocity = -humanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector * FORCE_MULTIPLIER + humanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * (FORCE_MULTIPLIER * .5)
	reactVelocity.Parent = otherPart
	Debris:AddItem(reactVelocity, FORCE_LIFETIME)
end)
