Pausing a Script until event triggered

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to pause my UserInputService until the event is triggered.

Here’s my script.

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local storyChat = {"I need to you solve a couple of cases for me. Some are pretty hard.", "Our first task is getting this door open. There's a keypad over there. Must be a pin of some type.", "I was left with a hint: The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.","Congrats, you opened the door."}
local dialog = 1
local event1 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Correct1")
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input,gpe)
	if gpe then
		return
	end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Return then
		local input = input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Return 
		if input then
			script.Parent.Text = storyChat[dialog + 1]dialog += 1
			print(dialog)
			if dialog == 3 then
				local frame = script.Parent.Parent
				script.Parent.Parent.Size = UDim2.new(0.222, 0,0.31, 0)
				frame:TweenPosition(
					UDim2.new(0, 0,0.435, 0),
					"Out",
					"Quad",
					5,
					true
				)
				event1.OnClientEvent:Wait()
			end
		end
	end
	
end)

If someone could help, that would be great.

Debounce is your friend.

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local d = false
local storyChat = {"I need to you solve a couple of cases for me. Some are pretty hard.", "Our first task is getting this door open. There's a keypad over there. Must be a pin of some type.", "I was left with a hint: The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.","Congrats, you opened the door."}
local dialog = 1
local event1 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Correct1")
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input,gpe)
	if gpe then
		return
	end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Return then
		local input = input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Return 
		if input and not d then
            d = true
			script.Parent.Text = storyChat[dialog + 1]dialog += 1
			print(dialog)
			if dialog == 3 then
				local frame = script.Parent.Parent
				script.Parent.Parent.Size = UDim2.new(0.222, 0,0.31, 0)
				frame:TweenPosition(
					UDim2.new(0, 0,0.435, 0),
					"Out",
					"Quad",
					5,
					true
				)
				event1.OnClientEvent:Wait()
			end
            d = false
		end
	end
	
end)

what are you using to pause the script?

dialog or something else? tell me if its a dialog

5

Totally forgot about debounce. Now, would I enable debounce from the event or?

6

From the event instead of the if input would be preferable too to reduce script usage.

7

Could you give me an example of this?

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local d = false
local storyChat = {"I need to you solve a couple of cases for me. Some are pretty hard.", "Our first task is getting this door open. There's a keypad over there. Must be a pin of some type.", "I was left with a hint: The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.","Congrats, you opened the door."}
local dialog = 1
local event1 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Correct1")
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input,gpe)
	if gpe then
		return
	end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Return and not d then
        d = true
			script.Parent.Text = storyChat[dialog + 1]dialog += 1
			print(dialog)
			if dialog == 3 then
				local frame = script.Parent.Parent
				script.Parent.Parent.Size = UDim2.new(0.222, 0,0.31, 0)
				frame:TweenPosition(
					UDim2.new(0, 0,0.435, 0),
					"Out",
					"Quad",
					5,
					true
				)
				event1.OnClientEvent:Wait()
		end
        d = false
	end
	
end)

Yea, I got that. I remember debounce. How would I make the event reactivate debounce?

What do you mean?? it’s already there at the end d = false

Okay, so it has to work. I totally forgot a local script cant send a remote event to another local script.
