I made a script that teleports you forward, inverts colors and plays a sound. It works perfectly, but I need to make a cooldown for it and I have no idea how.
local lighting = game.Lighting
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local root = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,gameProcessed)
if not gameProcessed then
if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
root.CFrame = root.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-35)
lighting.ColorCorrection.Saturation = -1
lighting.bruh.Saturation = -1
workspace.Sound:Play()
wait(0.4)
lighting.ColorCorrection.Saturation = 0
lighting.bruh.Saturation = 0
end
end
end)
local cooldown = false
local cooldownTime = 10
local lighting = game.Lighting
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local root = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,gameProcessed)
if not cooldown then
cooldown = true
if not gameProcessed then
if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
root.CFrame = root.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-35)
lighting.ColorCorrection.Saturation = -1
lighting.bruh.Saturation = -1
workspace.Sound:Play()
wait(0.4)
lighting.ColorCorrection.Saturation = 0
lighting.bruh.Saturation = 0
end
end
else
wait(cooldownTime)
cooldown = false
end
end)
Not sure why with your script I can use it multiple times then it just stops. Maybe it’s got to do with the line being at the bottom? I’m not sure, I’m pretty new to scripting so I’m seeking some help here
Im afraid @happle5222 didn’t explain what he done very much, he used a basic Debounce.
Debounces are possibly one of the most simple logic style functions in Lua, they can be made to fit pretty much any application. Let me give a quick example…
local Debounce = false
local DebounceCoolDown = 1
if Debounce == false then
Debounce = true
-- Your code here
wait(DebounceCoolDown)
Debounce = false
end
So basically the way this works is you have a global variable(95% of the time), that variable is either set to true or false, doesn’t matter which you start with… When the event happens, whether its a Touched, Activated, etc, it will go through this code to start with…
Since we declared the Debounce to be equal to false, the first thing it is going to do is see if that value is true or false, if its false like we said it is, its going to continue with the script, but notice the next line, we’re going to set that value to true… Meaning that if you try to run it again without setting it back to false, its not going to run the code since its stopping on the if statement. After that all of you code goes there, At the end, we’re going to be setting Debounce back to false so it can run again, but since we want a cool down, we’re going to delay that a bit with a basic wait()…
And to just give another quick example since I didn’t include much on how to implement it into your code, here is a basic touched event…
local Debounce = false
local DebounceCoolDown = 1
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
if Debounce == false then
Debounce = true
print("Watch where you're walking")
wait(DebounceCoolDown)
Debounce = false
end
end)
Since I don’t want it spamming output with “Watch where you’re walking” 100+ times a second, I set it to have a simple debounce. This means that it’ll print a max of 1 time per second… Feel free to take this code and play around with it a ton to figure out exactly how it works.
local Debounce = true
local DebounceCoolDown = 1
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
if Debounce == true then
Debounce = false
print("Watch where you're walking")
wait(DebounceCoolDown)
Debounce = true
end
end)
Heres another example just because Im bored, bascially the exact same thing as I said above. Notice how all of the values are switched though, now the original value is set to true… Logically it will work the same though… It’ll check to see if Debounce is true, if it is, it’ll set it to false and wait for it to go back to true
Alright, I’m not sure how to do it. This is creating an error, what did I do wrong?
local Debounce = false
local DebounceCoolDown = 1
local lighting = game.Lighting
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local root = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,gameProcessed)
if not gameProcessed then
if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
if Debounce == false then
Debounce = true
root.CFrame = root.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-35)
lighting.ColorCorrection.Saturation = -1
lighting.bruh.Saturation = -1
workspace.Sound:Play()
wait(0.4)
lighting.ColorCorrection.Saturation = 0
lighting.bruh.Saturation = 0
end
end
end
Alright, so that error is because the final end is missing a ), should be “end)” since its closing the function. Lastly, you forgot to last couple lines to the debounce that sets the value back to false, refer to the examples above, notice how at the end of each I had 2 lines, the wait and returning the Debounce value to the original value
Just paid attention and saw you already noticed the last 2 lines, sorry
