Script running twice

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am trying to create a plot purchase system (i have deleted all the code inside because it is irrelevant). It works fine the first time it is bought but the second time it runs the event twice. I have used print to figure out where it is firing twice and it is from the bottom of the script below.

game.ReplicatedStorage.PlotNumber.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plotNumber, char)
	print("hello") -- this is printing only once
	local debounce = false
	local buyProperty1 = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('BuyProperty1')
	local buyProperty2 = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('BuyProperty2')
	local buyProperty3 = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('BuyProperty3')

	local function shopMenu()
		if debounce == false then
			debounce = true
			wait (5)
			debounce = false
		end
		
	end

	local function closeMenu()
		if debounce == false then
			debounce = true
			wait (5)
			debounce = false
		end
	end

	local function buyProperty1Activate()
		if debounce == false then
			print("GG") -- this is printing twice
			debounce = true
			wait (5)
			debounce = false
		end
	end

	local function buyProperty2Activate()
		if debounce == false then
			print("BB") -- this is printing twice
			debounce = true
			wait (5)
			debounce = false
		end
	end
	local function buyProperty3Activate()
		if debounce == false then
			print("HH") -- this is printing twice
			debounce = true
			wait (5)
			debounce = false
		end
	end

	ReplicatedStorage.OpenBuyGUI.OnClientEvent:Connect(shopMenu)
	closeButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(closeMenu)
	buy_1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(buyProperty1Activate)
	buy_2.MouseButton1Click:Connect(buyProperty2Activate)
	buy_3.MouseButton1Click:Connect(buyProperty3Activate)
	-- something here makes it fire twice on the second time something is bought
end)

Thanks in advance, u_fep

You are reconnecting your events everytime game.ReplicatedStorage.PlotNumber gets fired, move it outside.

Something inside it prints once and something else prints twice, meaning the error must be inside the bit where the event in recieved.
Thanks for helping

Right, “hello” is always gonna print once whenever game.ReplicatedStorage.PlotNumber gets fired, but “GG”, “BB”, and “HH” prints twice or more because you are connecting the events again.

Its not about that, i deleted the code inside it and gave an example because it is irrelevant
