Keybind system only works once

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? A keybind system which works by communicating with modules that tell it the ability and its info

  2. What is the issue? I can only use a keybind once. If i use Q, I wont be able to use any other keybind

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I have tried playing around with the modules but nothing has worked

here are my scripts

KeybindServer (module)

local keybinds = {
	Witch = {
		Pyrokinesis = {
			SkillName = "Pyrokinesis",
			Key = Enum.KeyCode.Q,
			Cooldown = 6,
			Anim = "rbxassetid://--placeholder"
		},
		
		Transmutation = {
			SkillName = "Transmutation",
			Key = Enum.KeyCode.E,
			Cooldown = 8,
			Anim = "rbxassetid://--placeholder"
		},
		
		Concilium = {
			SkillName = "Transmutation",
			Key = Enum.KeyCode.B,
			Cooldown = 15,
			Anim = "rbxassetid://--placeholder"
		}
	}
}

return keybinds

KeybindCheck (module)

local KeybindList = require(game.ServerScriptService.Modules.KeybindServer)
local KeybindCheck = {}

function KeybindCheck.Start(player, SkillName)
	if player.Character:GetAttribute(SkillName.."Debounce") == false and (player.Character:GetAttribute("Disabled") == false) then
		player.Character:SetAttribute("Disabled", true)
		player.Character:SetAttribute("SkillName", SkillName)
		player.Character:SetAttribute(SkillName.."Debounce", true)
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end

function KeybindCheck.End(player, SkillName)
	if player.Character:GetAttribute(SkillName.."Debounce") == true then
		player.Character:SetAttribute("Disabled", false)
		task.wait(KeybindList[player.Character:GetAttribute("Species")][SkillName].Cooldown)
		player.Character:SetAttribute("SkillName", "")
		player.Character:SetAttribute(SkillName.."Debounce", false)
	end
end

return KeybindCheck

KeybindHandler (server script)

--Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

-- modules
local KeybindCheck = require(game.ServerScriptService.Modules.KeybindCheck)

-- global variables
local Event = ReplicatedStorage.WitchRemotes.Ability
local KeybindServer = game.ServerScriptService.Modules.KeybindServer

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, SkillName, mousePosition, mouseTarget, plrCharacter)
	if SkillName == "Pyrokinesis" then
		if mouseTarget.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then -- player
			KeybindCheck.Start(player, SkillName)
			local target = mouseTarget.Parent
			local targetFire = ReplicatedStorage.WitchEffects.PlayerFire:Clone()

			for i, v in pairs(targetFire:GetDescendants()) do
				if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
					for i, p in pairs(target:GetDescendants()) do
						if p:IsA("BasePart") or p:IsA("MeshPart") then
							local effect = v:Clone()
							effect.Parent = p
						end
					end
				end
			end

			for i = 1,10 do
				target.Humanoid:TakeDamage(4)
				wait(0.3)
			end

			for i, v in pairs(target:GetDescendants()) do
				if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") and v.Name == "Fire" then
					v.Enabled = false
				end
			end
			wait(1)

			for i, v in pairs(target:GetDescendants()) do
				if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") and v.Name == "Fire" then
					v:Destroy()
				end
			end		
			KeybindCheck.End(player, SkillName)
			
		elseif mouseTarget:FindFirstChild("CanBurn") then -- object
			KeybindCheck.Start(player, SkillName)
			local objectFire = ReplicatedStorage.WitchEffects.ObjectFire:Clone()

			for i, v in pairs(objectFire:GetDescendants()) do
				if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
					v.Parent = mouseTarget
				end
			end

			wait(2)

			local tween = TweenService:Create(mouseTarget, TweenInfo.new(1), {Transparency = 1})
			tween:Play()

			wait(0.25)

			for i, v in pairs(mouseTarget:GetDescendants()) do
				if v.Name == "Fire" then
					v.Enabled = false
				end
			end

			for i, v in pairs(mouseTarget:GetDescendants()) do
				if v.Name == "Smoke" then
					v.Enabled = true
				end
			end

			wait(0.25)

			for i, v in pairs(mouseTarget:GetDescendants()) do
				if v.Name == "Smoke" then
					v.Enabled = false
				end
			end

			wait(0.75)

			mouseTarget:Destroy()
			KeybindCheck.End(player, SkillName)
		end
	end
	
	if SkillName == "Transmutation" then -- this part is irrelevant, havent done anything here yet
		for i, v in pairs(plrCharacter:GetDescendants()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Decal") or v:IsA("Texture") then
				local tween = TweenService:Create(v, TweenInfo.new(0.25, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad), {Transparency = 1})
				tween:Play()
			end
		end

		wait(0.3)

		local pos = mousePosition + Vector3.new(0,3,0)

		plrCharacter:PivotTo(CFrame.new(pos))

		wait()

		for i, v in pairs(plrCharacter:GetDescendants()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Decal") or v:IsA("Texture") then
				if v.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
					local tween = TweenService:Create(v, TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad), {Transparency = 0})
					tween:Play()
				end
			end
		end
	end
	
	if SkillName == "Concilium" then
		
	end
end)

all help would be very appreciated
