ik my code is awful to read, I wa sjust wondering how do I make it so that if a player doesn’t attack after a certain amount of seconds the combat counter returns to 1 if you know what I mean

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local chr = player.Character
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local race = leaderstats:WaitForChild("race")
local DashAttackEvent = rs:WaitForChild("DashAttackEvent")
local hum = chr:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local stunnedevent = rs:WaitForChild("StunnedEvent")
local ListOfWeapons = {
	"BasicSword",
	"RengokuSword",
	"PlaceHolder1",
}
local anim = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst").Animations.RegularANIMS:WaitForChild("RunAnims")
local runAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(anim)

local module = require(rs:WaitForChild("Modules").CombatSystemModule)
local CombatNum = 1
local debounce = false
local candashattack = true
local DefaultFOV = 70

local lastTime = tick()

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,e)
	if e then return end

	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		for i,v in player.Character:GetChildren() do
			if table.find(ListOfWeapons, v.Name) and v:IsA("MeshPart") and debounce == false and chr:GetAttribute("isDashing") == false and chr:GetAttribute("Stunned") == false and chr:GetAttribute("IsBlocking") == false  and chr:GetAttribute("IsAttacking") == false and chr:GetAttribute("Parried") == false then
				debounce = true-- assuming this is the problem, as it may of let other MeshParts through
				module.CombatSystem(player, CombatNum)
				CombatNum += 1

				if CombatNum > 4 then
					CombatNum = 1
				end
				
				if chr:GetAttribute("IsRunning") == true then
					hum.WalkSpeed = 16
					runAnim:Stop()

					local properties = {FieldOfView = DefaultFOV}
					local Info = TweenInfo.new(0.5,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0.1)
					local T = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(game.Workspace.CurrentCamera,Info,properties)
					T:Play()
				end
				stunnedevent:FireServer()
				task.wait(0.2)

				task.wait(0.3)
				debounce = false
				return
			end
		end
	end
	
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
		if race.Value ~= "Demon" and candashattack == true and chr:GetAttribute("Stunned") == false and chr:GetAttribute("IsBlocking") == false and chr:GetAttribute("IsAttacking") == false and chr:GetAttribute("SwordEquip") == true then
			candashattack = false
			local speed = hum.WalkSpeed
			hum.WalkSpeed = 3
			local dashattackanim = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst").Animations.DashAttackAim
			local dashattacktrack = hum:LoadAnimation(dashattackanim)
			dashattacktrack:Play()
			dashattacktrack:GetMarkerReachedSignal("SpawnHitBoxEvent"):connect(function()
				DashAttackEvent:FireServer()
				
			end)
			hum.WalkSpeed = speed
			task.wait(3)
			candashattack = true
		end
	end
	
	
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		if debounce == false and chr:GetAttribute("isDashing") == false and chr:GetAttribute("Stunned") == false and chr:GetAttribute("IsBlocking") == false  and chr:GetAttribute("IsAttacking") == false and chr:GetAttribute("Parried") == false and chr:GetAttribute("FistAcivated") == true then
			debounce = true-- a
			print("works")
			module.FistSystem(player, CombatNum)
			CombatNum += 1

			if CombatNum > 5 then
				CombatNum = 1
			end
			
			if chr:GetAttribute("IsRunning") == true then
				hum.WalkSpeed = 16
				runAnim:Stop()

				local properties = {FieldOfView = DefaultFOV}
				local Info = TweenInfo.new(0.5,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0.1)
				local T = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(game.Workspace.CurrentCamera,Info,properties)
				T:Play()
			end
			stunnedevent:FireServer()
			task.wait(0.2)

			task.wait(0.3)
			debounce = false
			
			
		end
		
	end

You can try this. It uses task.delay() to reset CombatNum after a set number of seconds, while not yielding the rest of the script.

local ResetCounter = false
local DelaySeconds = 5 -- change to the number of seconds you want until it resets the combat counter

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function()
	ResetCounter = true
	
	-- rest of combat script here
	
	ResetCounter = false
	
	task.delay(DelaySeconds, function()
		if ResetCounter == false then
			CombatNum = 1
		end
	end)
end)
