Someone told me to debounce this, well i have no idea how becouse this script will only run once

wait(5)

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(player)

local npcDialogueFrame = player.PlayerGui.MainGui.NpcDialogueFrame

**if npcDialogueFrame.Visible == false then** **-- this is where it stops the second time**
	
	
	local randomDialogueText = {"Hi, what do you want?", "Hi!", "Hello!", "Hello, what do you want?", "Hi, what do you need?", "Hello, what do you need?", "Please be fast, I'm in a hurry!", "Hello, please be fast, I'm in a hurry!", "Hi, please be fast I'm, in a hurry!"}
	
	local deez = randomDialogueText[math.random(1,#randomDialogueText)]

	npcDialogueFrame.NpcDialogueText.Text = deez
	
	npcDialogueFrame.Visible = true

	for i = 1,#deez do
		npcDialogueFrame.NpcDialogueText.Text = string.sub(deez, 1, i)
		wait(0.05)
	end
end


end)

btw i also have another script that makes is disapear when you click a button in the dialogueFrame

You would probably not need a debounce for what you are doing seeing that it cant run while the GUI is visible.

#3

But why is it not working then?

#4

What exactly isn’t working for you?

#5

The first time it works but the second time it does not when i trigger the proximity promt it stops where i said it in the script at my post.

#6

Could I have a look at the other script?

#7

sure

wait(5)

local mouse = game:GetService("Mouse")

local nothingButton = script.Parent

local npcDialogueFrame = script.Parent.Parent

nothingButton.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()

npcDialogueFrame.Visible = false

end)

Your 2nd script is a Localscript, this means that the frame is closed only for the player and not the server. You could use a RemoteEvent to switch the Localscript to a server script. Which would look something like this:

wait(5)

local mouse = game:GetService("Mouse")

local nothingButton = script.Parent

local npcDialogueFrame = script.Parent.Parent

nothingButton.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()

	[location of the remoteevent]:FireServer(npcDialogueFrame)

end)

Then have another script in ServerScriptService which does this:

[Location of remoteevent].OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, gui)
	gui.Visible = false
end)

I hope this helps, if you want me to explain more about why it doesn’t work then just ask.
