Server creating two separate loops? [Solved]

[anon21309757]

local function P_CounterGuardBuffTimer(player)
    local pData = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerData:FindFirstChild(tostring(player.UserId))
    if pData then
        pData.Stats.P_CounterGuardBuff.Value = 0
        pData.Stats.BlockScaler.Value = pData.Stats.BlockScaler.Value + pData.Stats.UnyieldingBastion.Value
        pData.Stats.P_CounterGuardBuff.Value = 15 + (pData.Stats.UnyieldingBastion.Value * 2)

        for i = pData.Stats.P_CounterGuardBuff.Value, 0, -0.5 do
            pData.Stats.P_CounterGuardBuff.Value = i
            wait(0.5)
        end

        pData.Stats.P_CounterGuardBuff.Value = 0
        pData.Stats.BlockScaler.Value = pData.Stats.BlockScaler.Value - pData.Stats.UnyieldingBastion.Value
    end
end

When the player uses the ability again it doesn’t restart the counter to count down the player’s value. It creates sorta like a 2nd loop and they are competing with each other. How would I make it so it restarts the counter?

local debounce: boolean, canStop: boolean = false, false

	debounce = true
	
	local pData = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerData:FindFirstChild(tostring(player.UserId))
	if pData then
		pData.Stats.P_CounterGuardBuff.Value = 0
		pData.Stats.BlockScaler.Value = pData.Stats.BlockScaler.Value + pData.Stats.UnyieldingBastion.Value
		pData.Stats.P_CounterGuardBuff.Value = 15 + (pData.Stats.UnyieldingBastion.Value * 2)

		for i = pData.Stats.P_CounterGuardBuff.Value, 0, -0.5 do
			pData.Stats.P_CounterGuardBuff.Value = i
			
			for timeout = .1, .5, .1 do
				if debounce then
					debounce, canStop = false, true
					break
				end
				
				task.wait(.1)
			end
			
			if canStop then
				canStop = false
				break
			end
		end

		pData.Stats.P_CounterGuardBuff.Value = 0
		pData.Stats.BlockScaler.Value = pData.Stats.BlockScaler.Value - pData.Stats.UnyieldingBastion.Value
	end
end

Counter doesn’t even start anymore. Server does receive the request to start the counter though.

Edit: I figured it out. Just rewrote the whole system. Everything works as intended now.
