How can I add a cooldown to this?

Hello! I’ve birthed this absolutely terrible mother of spaghetti code of a module, used for ragdolling rigs. When a player ragdolls and unragdolls quickly, they regain control but their torso moves and their limbs flop around in a sort of limbo state between walking and ragdolling.

I’ve tried some things to no avail, so how can I add a cooldown/debounce to my code?

Do you think this would work with your code?

char:SetAttribute("RDeb", true)
task.Spawn(function()
  task.wait(0.5)
  char:SetAttribute("RDeb", nil)
end)

and then adding an if statement in the unragdoll function at the start to check if the attribute is there

if not char:GetAttribute("RDeb") then

i tried a cooldown table earlier which is basically the same thing, but ill try this too
