Hey guys. Like it said in the title I wanna stop people from spamming the tools they already have. And there’s a shop system involved and i just have no idea where to put the code where it prevents ppl from spamming it

This is my script on serverscriptstorage

local buyToolEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.buyTool

local function buyTool(player, tool)
	
	if player.Character:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) then
		return
	end

	if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) then
		return
	end
	
	if player.leaderstats.Gold.Value >= tool.Price.Value then
		
		player.leaderstats.Gold.Value = player.leaderstats.Gold.Value - tool.Price.Value
		local giveTool = game.ReplicatedStorage.ShopItems[tool.Name]:Clone()
		giveTool.Parent = player.Backpack
	end
end

buyToolEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(buyTool)

and this is my script on the shop

local open = workspace.openPart

local frame = script.Parent
local closeButton = frame.closeButton
local buy1 = frame.buyButton1
local buy2 = frame.buyButton2
local buy3 = frame.buyButton3

local buyToolEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.buyTool

local db = false
local dbTime = 2

frame.Visible = false

local function shopMenu(otherPart)
	if not db then
		db = true
	local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(otherPart.Parent.Name)
	if plr then
		frame.Visible = true
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
		end
		
		wait(dbTime)
		db = false
		
	end
end

local function closeMenu()
	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	if plr then
		frame.Visible = false
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	end
end

local function buyTool2()
	local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.ShopItems.Blaster
	buyToolEvent:FireServer(tool)
end

local function buyTool3()
	local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.ShopItems.LaserGun
	buyToolEvent:FireServer(tool)
end

open.Touched:Connect(shopMenu)
closeButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(closeMenu)
buy2.MouseButton1Click:Connect(buyTool2)
buy3.MouseButton1Click:Connect(buyTool3)

You can clone the tool and put it into another folder called ToolsOwned or something
