How do I fix my debounce?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to add a debounce to my fireball with a number value. When it turns 0 you should be able to fire the event which fires the fireball. But, for some reason it’s not working. Any idea what could be wrong?
Script:

local Debounce = script:WaitForChild("CoolDownValue")

Debounce = math.clamp(Debounce.Value,0,10)

while wait(1) do

Debounce -= 1

end
--User input
if Debounce == 0 then
		Event:FireServer(mouse.hit.p)
			wait(0.01)
		Debounce = 10

Thanks for reading.

Is this script sending any errors?

This May be the issue so i would fix that and if i’m wrong just reply to me.

Sorry for bad format, I’m on mobile. I would just do this though.

local waitTime = script:WaitForChild(“CoolDownValue”).Value
local debounce = false

if debounce == false then
debounce = true
Event:FireServer(mouse.hit.p)
wait(waitTime)
debounce = false
end

What should I do??? Because it’s already like that.

#6

There is no script errors I will try using prints though right now.

You should use the method that @24Nick_42 used its better and easier

This would work, but I kind of want a gui that shows how much more they have to wait.

Try this:

local Debounce = script:WaitForChild("CoolDownValue")
Debounce = math.clamp(Debounce.Value,0,10)

for i = Debounce,0,-1  do
	Debounce = i
	wait(1)
end

--User input
Event:FireServer(mouse.hit.p)
wait(0.01)
Debounce = 10

You can put the texlabel or whatever you use to measure how much is left in the loop.

Did you forget a .Value after the WaitForChild? Also, if you’re just setting the Debounce to 10 later on you should just do that in the first place.

#11

It doesn’t change the debounce to 10 I think the wait(1) isn’t working.

#12

Ok I will try this method that you insisted on.

#13

Ah simple i did this before so When you fire back to client for a cooldown you can just have tween start for a gui

In your script you Debounce = 10, which is setting it to 10.

if Debounce == 0 then
Event:FireServer(mouse.hit.p)
wait(0.01)
Debounce = 10
end

#15

I think I know this already. What are you trying to say?

#16

local Debounce = script:WaitForChild("CoolDownValue") is useless. Just use local Debounce = 10
