Hello, I am making a part give you money when it touches a Sell part. At the moment, the part gives you money multiple times and sends the server/global message multiple times because it touches multiple times before its destroyed.

I need help with the debounce or whatever is needed to make it only give the money and send the message once.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	
	for i, v in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.Rarities:GetChildren()) do
		if hit.Name == v.Name then
			
			local player = game.Players[script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name]
			local Money = hit.Money.Value
			
			wait(1)
			
			if hit.Name == "Mythical" then
				game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.Message:FireAllClients(player.Name, hit.Name, "Collector")
			end
			
			if hit.Name == "Secret" then
				game:GetService("MessagingService"):PublishAsync("GlobalAnnouncement", "[GLOBAL]: "..player.Name.." sold a "..hit.Name.." from ".."Collector".."!")
			end
			
			player.leaderstats.Money.Value += Money
			hit:Destroy()	
		end
	end
end)

Any and all help is appreciated.

Should just need to initialize a variable before the connection, then inside the connection, make an if statement which checks if that variable is true or false, if false, set to true and run your code.

local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if not debounce then
		debounce = true
		for i, v in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.Rarities:GetChildren()) do
			if hit.Name == v.Name then

				local player = game.Players[script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name]
				local Money = hit.Money.Value

				wait(1)

				if hit.Name == "Mythical" then
					game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.Message:FireAllClients(player.Name, hit.Name, "Collector")
				end

				if hit.Name == "Secret" then
					game:GetService("MessagingService"):PublishAsync("GlobalAnnouncement", "[GLOBAL]: "..player.Name.." sold a "..hit.Name.." from ".."Collector".."!")
				end

				player.leaderstats.Money.Value += Money
				hit:Destroy()	
			end
		end
		debounce = false
	end
end)

Question regarding your rarities, the part that the player touches, are there multiple children in the Rarities ReplicatedStorage folder with the same name, or are they unique?

before you put the deboune = false you should put a task.wait(.5) so that some time must pass before it’s able to be used again.

task.wait(.5)
debounce = false
