I need help with my server-sided debounce module script

[MrUserNumber (User)]

I want to make a function to set the debounce value for the move.
I have not found any solutions in the developer forum if you found any please send them.

Here is the debounce module

local Debounce = {}

local Debounces = {}

function Debounce:AddDebounce(Player, Move)
	if not Debounces[Player.Name] then
		Debounces[Player.Name] = Debounces[Player.Name] or {}
	end
	if not Debounces[Player.Name][Move] then
		Debounces[Player.Name][Move] = false
	else
		return warn(Move.." Debounce already exists.")
	end
	print(Debounces)
end

function Debounce:Set(Player, Move, SetValue)
	if Debounces[Player.Name] and Debounces[Player.Name][Move] then
		Debounces[Player][Move] = SetValue
	else
		return warn("Could not find debounce")
	end
end

return Debounce

Here is the moveset module

local Moveset = {
	["Combat"] = {
		["M1"] = {
			Name = "M1";
			Cooldown = .25;
			FinishCooldown = .7;
			Key = Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1
		},
		["Block"] = {
			Name = "Block";
			Cooldown = .25;
			Key = Enum.KeyCode.F
		},
		["Dash"] = {
			Name = "Dash";
			Cooldown = 1;
			Key = Enum.KeyCode.Q
		}
	}
}

return Moveset

And here is the main script

local Moveset = require(script.Parent.Modules.Moveset)
local Debounce = require(script.Parent.Modules.Debounce)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Debounce:AddDebounce(Player, Moveset.Combat.M1.Name)
	Debounce:Set(Player, Moveset.Combat.M1.Name, true)
end)

The part I am having issues with

function Debounce:Set(Player, Move, SetValue)
	if Debounces[Player.Name] and Debounces[Player.Name][Move] then
		Debounces[Player][Move] = SetValue
	else
		return warn("Could not find debounce")
	end
end

I need help since it can’t find the debounce it is looking for.

@MrUserNumber

if not Debounces[Player.Name][Move] then
		Debounces[Player.Name][Move] = false
	else

you are setting the value to false, therefore

@MrUserNumber

if Debounces[Player.Name] and Debounces[Player.Name][Move] then
		Debounces[Player][Move] = SetValue
	else

it will show up here as false and the if statement will not run

Oh how could I fix that problem?

[MrUserNumber (User)]

I am trying to check if the move is actually there.

[xXSanrioSlayer99]

@MrUserNumber

if Debounces[Player.Name] and Debounces[Player.Name][Move] then
		Debounces[Player][Move] = SetValue
	else

try replacing this with

if Debounces[Player.Name] and Debounces[Player.Name][Move] ~= nil then
		Debounces[Player][Move] = SetValue
	else

this way the if statement should fail if the debounce does not exist in the table, but it should pass if the debounce is equal to false

[MrUserNumber (User)]

Is there a way I could make

Debounces[Player.Name][Move] ~= nil

Shorter?

[xXSanrioSlayer99]

no, because you are trying to specifically check if the value is nil or not, and thats the simplest way
