I’m making a dialogue GUI with TextButtons to press Yes or No. I want to find a way to disable TextButton to prevent it from being spammed. Any help?

#2

Use the active function.

script.Parent.Active = false
OR
debounce function

Add a solution if this helps.

As its a dialouge I suggest using the activate feature!

Hes asking for a cooldown… not to delete it.

Oh I guess I didn’t read it properly lol. I saw he wanted to disable it and I just started typing right away

#7

Just add a debounce like @PaintDevs said or just make it so it deactivates when clicked then do “wait(insert time here)” and then after that reactivate it.

I hope this helps

This is my script for a close button:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible=false
end)
#9

You can use a debounce.

local debounce = false
local button = script.Parent -- for example

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if not debounce then -- if debounce is nil or false
        debounce = true -- set it to true in case the button is clicked again
        print('The button was pressed for the first time!')
        -- put whatever you want done only once here
    else -- if debounce is truthy (most often true but could be other things that aren't false or nil like a string or a number), you also don't need this, just a proof of concept
        print('The button has already been pressed!') -- then the button has been pressed so don't do anything
    end
end)

This wont work. You need to add a wait(time) for it to be able to be pressed again then make the debounce’s value false again.

And I already mentioned it in an upper comment.

Can I get an article for debounce functions on TextButton? Im not sure how they work and people are saying this works so I am going to try it out.

It doesnt matter if its on text buttons or not, you can always tweak and change the code up.
