Projectiles of tower duplicating after each shot

  1. The tower is supposed to shoot one missile per 2 seconds.

  2. Tower shoots one missile, waits 2 seconds, shoots 2 missiles, waits 2 seconds, shoots 3 missiles, and so on, with no source of the duplication found. The script for shooting the missile is almost identical to another which shoots a cannonball, which works perfectly fine.

The fourth shot, as you can see, it is firing 4 missiles at once, instead of one.

Side note: sometimes the tower shoots one missile but at a very fast rate, instead of waiting 2 seconds, although this might just be delayed duplication.

  1. Looked for errors and asked on the unofficial roblox discord server for any ideas, so far got nothing leading to the answer.

Here is the excerpt from script of the working tower’s firing script:

script.Parent.InRange.Changed:Connect(function()
	
	if script.Parent.InRange.Value == true then
		
		while script.Parent.InRange.Value == true do
			
			local target = script.Parent.Targ.Value

			
			if target ~= nil then
	
				
				local c = script.Parent.Variables.Projectile.Value:Clone()
				c.CFrame = script.Parent.ShootPart.CFrame
				c.Velocity = script.Parent.ShootPart.CFrame.LookVector * script.Parent.Variables.Velocity.Value --((target.Position - script.Parent.ShootPart.Position).Magnitude * 5)
				c.Parent = workspace.ProjectileStorage
				c.PlayerUsedBy.Value = script.Parent.PlacedBy.Value
				c.TowerUsedBy.Value = script.Parent
				script.Parent.ShootPart.Cannon:Play()
				script.Parent.ShootPart.ParticleEmitter:Emit(50)

				deb:AddItem(c,script.Parent.Variables.Decay.Value)

				wait(script.Parent.Variables.AttackSpeed.Value)

			end
			
			wait()
			
		end
		
	end
	
end)

Here is the excerpt from script of the missile-firing tower:

script.Parent.InRange.Changed:Connect(function()

	if script.Parent.InRange.Value == true then

		while script.Parent.InRange.Value == true do
			
			local target = script.Parent.Targ.Value
			
			wait()
			
			if target ~= nil then

				local c = script.Parent.Variables.Projectile.Value:Clone() 
				c.CFrame = script.Parent.ShootPart.CFrame
				c.Velocity = script.Parent.ShootPart.CFrame.LookVector * script.Parent.Variables.Velocity.Value 
				c.Parent = workspace.ProjectileStorage
				c.PlayerUsedBy.Value = script.Parent.PlacedBy.Value
				c.TowerUsedBy.Value = script.Parent
				c.TowerTarget.Value = target
				script.Parent.ShootPart.Cannon:Play()
				script.Parent.ShootPart.ParticleEmitter:Emit(50)
		
				deb:AddItem(c,script.Parent.Variables.Decay.Value)
		
				wait(script.Parent.Variables.AttackSpeed.Value)
				
			end
			
			
			
		end
		
	end

end)

Any leads or even solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
