Implementing debounce

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am reworking my combat system but the animations can be replayed if you spam Q. I don’t know what is causing this and I have tried to implement a debounce however, I am unsuccessful.

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, Processed)
	if Processed then return end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and ran == 1 and Debounce == false then
		Animations['LeftPunch']:Play()
		wait(0.5)
		ran = 2
		Debounce = true
	elseif ran == 2 and Debounce == true then
		Animations['RightPunch']:Play()
		wait(0.5)
		ran = 1
		Debounce = false
	end
end)

Try putting the denounce just inside in the function (one tab in).

If you mean this, then it didn’t work.

	if Processed then return end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and ran == 1 and Debounce == false then
		Animations['LeftPunch']:Play()
		wait(0.5)
		ran = 2
		Debounce = true
	elseif ran == 2 then
		Animations['RightPunch']:Play()
		wait(0.5)
		ran = 1
		Debounce = false
	end
end)

The reason that you can spam the animation is because of what order you set your debounces in. In order to make sure that you are not able to spam the animation, you need to set the debounces first, so that if they press Q again, it will check for the debounce first instead of playing the animation then checking the debounces.

New Code:

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, Processed)
	if Processed then return end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and ran == 1 and Debounce == false then
		ran = 2
		Debounce = true
		wait(0.5)
	    Animations['LeftPunch']:Play()
	elseif ran == 2 and Debounce == true then
		ran = 1
		Debounce = false	
		wait(0.5)	
        Animations['RightPunch']:Play()
	end
end)

Try this code sample:

local Debounce = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, Processed)

    if not Debounce then

        Debounce == true

        (your code)

        wait(How many sec you want)
        Debounce = false

    end

end)

Thank you! I adjusted some of it so that there is no delay for the animation.
