Making a Counter that changes if someone touches

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Alright, so im making a shame corner (dont ask me why)
That if someone touchs the invisible box the counter changes i already did the script for it
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
game.Workspace.Ultimateshamecorner.ASHAMEDCOUNTER.SurfaceGui.Counter.Text = “ASHAMED PEOPLE: 1”
end)
But i want it to repeat like if another player touches the invisble box it changes to 2
Is there anyway to do it?

You could store the number into a variable and then increment the variable by 1 every time someone enters it

local numOfAshamed = 0
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
    numOfAshamed = numOfAshamed + 1
    game.Workspace.Workspace.Ultimateshamecorner.ASHAMEDCOUNTER.SurfaceGui.Counter.Text = "ASHAMED PEOPLE: ".. numOfAshamed
end)

For some reason it increases to 7 when i go in

You need to add debounce, because the event is being fired multiple times, thus increasing it multiple times.

From there, debounce is your best friend.

If debounce were added to the function @downcrusher69 sent, it would look something like this:

local numOfAshamed = 0 
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function() 
    if debounce then return end
    debounce = true
    numOfAshamed = numOfAshamed + 1 
    game.Workspace.Ultimateshamecorner.ASHAMEDCOUNTER.SurfaceGui.Counter.Text = "ASHAMED PEOPLE: ".. numOfAshamed 
    debounce = false
end)
