			PointA.Points.Changed:Wait() -- Wait for the next change in PointA.Points.Value
			updatePointsLabel(player) -- Update the points label again after the next change
		end
	end
end)

purpose of this script is to check when player capture terminal. If it is captured (5 seconds), points are getting added blah blah

Problem is, when I step on part, values of capturedSeconds and PointA.Points are automatically added, how can I prevent this?

You can save the time when the part is touched with os.clock() then check if the time passed is more than five seconds.

local lastTouched -- make a variable to store the time when the part was last touched
part.Touched:Connect(function()
	if lastTouched then -- if the part was touched before
		if os.clock() - lastTouched < 5 then return end -- if the time between this touch and the last touch is less than five, then we do nothing and don't save this time as the last touched
	end
	lastTouched = os.clock() -- store the last touched
end)

Wait does this kind of work like a debounce and if so which one is better if you know

#4

in what place in script should i place it?

	end
	lastTouched = os.clock()
end)

Changed it to this, still the same happening

#6

Put

lastTouched = os.clock()

Right after

if os.clock() - lastTouched < 5 then return end
#7

After I did it, raycast stopped working

#8

Can you please help me with that?

#9

Im still trying to figure it out
