Locally disabling script temporarily

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? Keep it simple and clear!
    Make so when a player touches a part, the script only gives one win instead of repeatingly giving wins.
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    Its giving 10-20 wins
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
Original Script 

amnt = 1 --how much you get for it
function onTouched(part)
	local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if (h~=nil) then
		local thisplr = game.Players:findFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
		if (thisplr~=nil) then
			local stats = thisplr:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
			if (stats~=nil) then
				local score = stats:findFirstChild("Wins")
				if (score~=nil) then
					score.Value = score.Value + amnt
				end
			end
		end
		script.Parent:remove()
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

i tried local script:disable instead of delete parent, but couldn’t figure out how to make it still work for the second round. i think it needs to use module scripts/local events?

if I don’t disable it it gives 10-20 wins.
the part is overlapped by an exact clone of exact size and position that has a teleport script inside. (tp within a place, btw)

#2

script.Disabled = true

And to enable it

script.Disabled = false

But I dont recommend doing that, add a debounce instead (NOTE: enabling it again will restart the script)

Please add Db (Debounce)

For example:

local denounce = true
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(funtion(hit)
 if debounce == true then
 denounce = false
 print("hit 1 time")
 end
end)
#4

so

local debounce = true
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(funtion(hit)
if debounce == true then
debounce = false
print(“hit 1 time”)
end
end)
amnt = 1 --how much you get for it
function onTouched(part)
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild(“Humanoid”)
if (h~=nil) then
local thisplr = game.Players:findFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
if (thisplr~=nil) then
local stats = thisplr:findFirstChild(“leaderstats”)
if (stats~=nil) then
local score = stats:findFirstChild(“Wins”)
if (score~=nil) then
score.Value = score.Value + amnt
end
end
end
local script:disable
end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

#5

Yes. Try that

Note: This will run 1 time only.

#6

or do i put that in place of disable script

#7

Wait i suggest you to use local script and normal script both then fire it.
For example…

#8

also make sure to disable the debounce again after another round

#9

Changing the property script.Disabled will disable the script. The script can be disabled itself, but once disabled, the script won’t run (so it won’t enable itself, neither.)

Okay so

  • Insert a remote event in replicated storage
  • create a local script in the part.
  • create a script in ServerScriptService

then type the following code in Local Script

local db = true
function onTouched(part)
    if db then
       db = false
       game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(part)
    end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

Now type the following code in the Server Script

function server(plr,part)
  amnt = 1 --how much you get for it
	local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if (h~=nil) then
		local thisplr = game.Players:findFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
		if (thisplr~=nil) then
			local stats = thisplr:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
			if (stats~=nil) then
				local score = stats:findFirstChild("Wins")
				if (score~=nil) then
					score.Value = score.Value + amnt
				end
			end
		end
	end
  end
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(server)
#11

its not giving any output, but its not working :expressionless:

#12

Hmm wait I forgot to put remote event.

put game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(server)
