im not too sure how to add it, this is my script

local bowanimationr6 = script:WaitForChild("bowanimationr6")
local Tool = script.Parent
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local Character = Tool.Parent
	if Character then
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		if Humanoid then
			if Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 and bowanimationr6 then
				local LoadedAnim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(bowanimationr6)
				repeat
					task.wait()
				until LoadedAnim.Length > 0
				LoadedAnim:Play()
			end
		end
	end
end)

I’m not completely sure, but I believe it would be like this:

local debounce = false
local Tool = script.Parent
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if debounce == false then
local Character = Tool.Parent
if Character then
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
if Humanoid then
if Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 and bowanimationr6 then
local LoadedAnim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(bowanimationr6)
repeat
task.wait()
until LoadedAnim.Length > 0
LoadedAnim:Play()
local debounce = true
end
end
end
end)

I’m not a pro at scripting, if I did it wrong, at least I tried to help with what I know.

wait I made a mistake.

local debounce = false
local Tool = script.Parent
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if debounce == false then
local debounce = true
local Character = Tool.Parent
if Character then
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
if Humanoid then
if Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 and bowanimationr6 then
local LoadedAnim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(bowanimationr6)
repeat
task.wait()
until LoadedAnim.Length > 0
LoadedAnim:Play()
local debounce = false
end
end
end
end)

Try this.

Can you use “```”, please? It will be easier.

Sorry, I don’t know how to use it, I don’t usually post script related stuff :sweat_smile:

Doesn’t work, did you forgot a line or something?

If I’m not mistaken it should be something among the lines of

local debounce = false
local bowanimationr6 = script:WaitForChild("bowanimationr6")
local Tool = script.Parent
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local Character = Tool.Parent
	if Character then
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		if Humanoid then
			if Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 and bowanimationr6 then
				local LoadedAnim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(bowanimationr6)
				repeat
					task.wait()
				until LoadedAnim.Length > 0
				LoadedAnim:Play()
			end
			debounce = true
			wait(--change this to however long your debounce should be)
			debounce = false
		end
	end
end)

I hvent tested it so just try it and move around the debounce (but keep debounce = true wait(--change this to however long your debounce should be) debounce = false together so it doesn’t mess up. Let me know how it goes : D

Hey @Chrisxxxzz ,

A while ago, I had the same situation with adding debounces.
This was the Solution to my problem.

The reason why @loxergenius 's solution isn’t working because on line 6 & 23, it wasn’t changing the Debounce variable from line 1. Instead, it is creating new variables.

local debounce = false
local Tool = script.Parent

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if debounce == false then -- checks if Debounce is on
		debounce = true -- activates Debounce
		local Character = Tool.Parent
		
		if Character then
			local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
			
			if Humanoid then
				if Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 and bowanimationr6 then
					local LoadedAnim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(bowanimationr6)
					repeat
						task.wait()
					until LoadedAnim.Length > 0
					LoadedAnim:Play()
				end
			end
		end
		task.wait() -- duration of debounce
		debounce = false -- makes it so it can be activated once duration has pasted
	end
end)

Thank you, you both! It worked.

You should always tab your code properly. Posting unindented code to help forums will get you yelled at (well, hopefully not here…) Studio will do automatically, too:

  1. Ctrl+A selects all your code
  2. Alt+Shift+F automatically formats it with indentation
#12 
local Tool = script.Parent
local newestvaxanimationr6 = Tool:WaitForChild("newestvaxanimationr6", 1)
local debounce = false

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if debounce then
		return
	end
	local Character = Tool.Parent
	if Character then
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if Humanoid then
			if Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 and newestvaxanimationr6 then
				local LoadedAnim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(newestvaxanimationr6)
				repeat
					task.wait()
				until LoadedAnim.Length > 0
				debounce = true
				LoadedAnim:Play()
			end
		end
	end
	task.wait(5)
	debounce = false
end)

I responded to the other thread, this is how a debounce is and should be achieved.

This wouldn’t work as you’re not doing anything with the debounce variable, you’re just setting it to false and true but nowhere in the script is the value of the variable being checked.
