NPC Respawn Debounce

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m working on this game where a city is full of shadow creatures and when you try to kill one it immediately respawns. The thing is, it works, just a little too well…

Code:

script.Parent.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
	local new = script.Parent:Clone()
	new.Parent = game.Workspace
	new:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health = 100
	local smokePart = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
	smokePart.Position = script.Parent.Torso.Position
	smokePart.Anchored = true
	smokePart.Transparency = 1
	smokePart.CanCollide = true
	smokePart.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	local smoke = Instance.new("Smoke", smokePart)
	smoke.Opacity = 1
	smoke.Size = 1
	smoke.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0)
	smoke.RiseVelocity = 3
	script.Parent.Eye1:Destroy()
	script.Parent.Eye2:Destroy()
	script.Parent:BreakJoints()
	repeat wait()
		smoke.Opacity = smoke.Opacity - 0.01
	until smoke.Opacity <= 0
	smokePart:Destroy()
	script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

It’s meant to make one new clone but instead respawns uncontrollably.

	until smoke.Opacity <= 0
	smokePart:Destroy()
	script.Parent:Destroy()
	task.wait(5)
	debounce = false
end)
