So I’m making a fighting game with simple guns, no ray cast or anything, but I need to add a debounce to my gun system, the problem is I don’t know where to put it. I got the system from a tutorial and I’m new to scripting. Here is the script.

Start of code

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, target)
target.Humanoid:TakeDamage(30)
end)

End of code

I don’t know how to put it in the script thingy but yeah

I just need a simple debounce in the code, thanks! :smiley:

You can do something like this:

local debounce = false
local fireRate = 2 -- (time between each shot)

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, target)
if debounce == false then
target.Humanoid:TakeDamage(30)
task.wait(fireRate)
debounce = false
end
end)

Thank you, but I’m away and don’t have my computer so I’ll get back to you and see if it works. Thanks again!

Also how did you put the script inside the thing?

You use ``` at the start and end of your script.

Also small little mistake, you need debounce = true in it too
so heres the updated:

local debounce = false
local fireRate = 2 -- (time between each shot)

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, target)
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
target.Humanoid:TakeDamage(30)
task.wait(fireRate)
debounce = false
end
end)
