How can i add a delay to this system?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!

Currently, this code will immediately collect the coins when in radius. However, i would like it to wait 2 seconds before allowing you to collect them. I Tried adding a task.wait(2) however it just made you wait 2 seconds to collect every individual coin. I added this just below the if drop.magnitude line. please help! Thanks.

local player  = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

while true do
	for i, drop in pairs(workspace.Drops:GetChildren()) do
		if drop:IsA("Part") and drop:FindFirstChild("Value") then
			local magnitude = (HumanoidRootPart.Position - drop.Position).Magnitude
			if magnitude <= player.Data.MagnetReach.Value then
				local value = drop:WaitForChild("Value").Value
				local CurrencyName = drop:WaitForChild("CurrencyName").Value
				drop.CanCollide = false
				local tween = ts:Create(drop, TweenInfo.new(magnitude * 0.01, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0), {Position = HumanoidRootPart.Position})
				tween:Play()
				tween.Completed:Connect(function()
					rs:WaitForChild("GiveCurrency"):FireServer(CurrencyName, value)
					drop:Destroy()
					rs:WaitForChild("Sounds").Collect:Play()
				end)
			end
		end
	end
	
	task.wait()
end

The coins still wont collect.
Also i extremely lagged when joining

#14

sorry if i dont understand what you’re trying to achieve im probably dumb

do you mean as if after 2 seconds (when the coin spawned) passed you’re able to collect them
or
as if you have to wait 2 seconds near them

on the server you might wanna use debris to destroy the cooldown value

might be what you wanted?

Heya! Thanks for the help.

There is now no cooldown. But you can collect the coins.

If you need the server script, lemme know

#18

you gotta add a boolvalue into the drop called ThisIsACooldownThing

and on serverscript use debris to destroy ThisIsACooldownThing in the drop
