How do I disconnect a connection, then re-connect the connection each time a player performs a specific action?

I’m trying to get it to where if a player presses “E” for example, it fires to the server onto a remote event and establishes a connection through :Connect(). This remote event then tells the server to perform an action, and after the action is performed, it then :Disconnect()'s the connection. BUT I’m looking to get it to where if I were to press E again, it would then re-connect the connection and perform the action again.

So far though, it just disconnects and does not re-connect nor perform the action again if I press E again. I’ve tried looking into re-connecting connections and so far nothing has helped my case.

Any help would be immensely appreciated. (I am a beginner so apologies if some things I say sound uninformed)

You can just store the connection in a dictionary with the key being the player that fired it.

To avoid the re-connect check the dictionary if the connection is already made then proceed to handle it.

I’ll be able to tomorrow, currently not at my computer right now to grab the code. Thank you for the reply on the other post as well.

Sorry, I don’t think I’m in need of the re-connecting thing anymore. Thank you for your willingness to help nevertheless.

Also if possible, could I get your insight on this matter here? Would having players mass use one server-sided script lag the server?
