I need help with debounce

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello there! I made a script which opens a gui.
Unfornatuely it gives me the gui several times.

I looked through the devforum for a solution but I am not able to find anything which worked on my script.
I already checked this article out: Debounce – When and Why but I just don’t understand why it is not working on my script.

Could someone explain me how I use debounce and how I would use it on this script?

wait(1)

local buttonPressed = false
local gui = script.DrinkGui
function onTouched(p)
	if not buttonPressed then
		buttonPressed = false
	end
	if p and p.Parent and game.Players:FindFirstChild(p.Parent.Name) ~= nil then
		local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(p.Parent.Name)
		if player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ShopGui") == nil then
			local newgui = gui:Clone()
			newgui.Parent = player.PlayerGui
			wait(2)
buttonPressed = true
		end
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

why are you makeing buttonpressed false when it’s already false?

local buttonPressed = false
local gui = script.DrinkGui

function onTouched(p)
	if not buttonPressed then
		buttonPressed = true
		if p and p.Parent and game.Players:FindFirstChild(p.Parent.Name) ~= nil then
			local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(p.Parent.Name)
			if player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ShopGui") == nil then
				local newgui = gui:Clone()
				newgui.Parent = player.PlayerGui
				wait(2)
				buttonPressed = false
			end
		end
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
