Server removing more than it should?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!

I was making a zombie value script for my zombie game, and for some reason it removes 3 values when dead instead of 1. Here’s the script.

local zombiesCount = (game.Workspace.serverValues.zombiesCount)
local zombieHumanoid = (script.Parent)

if zombieHumanoid then
	zombiesCount.Value = (zombiesCount.Value + 1)
	zombieHumanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		zombiesCount.Value = (zombiesCount.Value - 1)
	end)
end

By

do you mean decreases the value by 3?

Yeah, not sure why it happens.

#4

Maybe add a debounce because it might be firing multiple times? Try making the debounce something like 6 seconds

#5

I tried something else, look.

local zombiesCount = (game.Workspace.serverValues.zombiesCount)
local zombieHumanoid = (script.Parent)

function removeZombieCount(removeValue)
	zombiesCount.Value = zombiesCount.Value - removeValue
end

function addZombieCount(addValue)
	zombiesCount.Value = zombiesCount.Value + addValue
end

if zombieHumanoid then
	addZombieCount()
	zombieHumanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		removeZombieCount()
	end)
end

It works, but still decreases by 3 everytime it dies for some reason.

#6

Add the debounce, the only reason I can think it would do that would be because it is firing multiple times

#7

Added it, still does the same thing for some reason.

#8

This problem happened to me too, just use Debounce

#9

Hmm, I believe that each zombie has these events so if there are three zombies died , three events will fire.

#10

How long did you make the debounce?

Wait, by debounce, do you mean wait or?

#12

The script is in one zombie take a closer look

#13

Yes, each zombie does have these events, but once ONE dies, it decreases by three.

#15

Debounce is explained in this article on the Developer Hub.

Added a wait(1) like this… (Still didn’t do it.)

local zombiesCount = (game.ServerStorage.serverValues.zombiesCount)
local zombieHumanoid = (script.Parent)

function removeZombieCount(removeValue)
	wait(1)
	zombiesCount.Value = zombiesCount.Value - removeValue
end

function addZombieCount(addValue)
	wait(1)
	zombiesCount.Value = zombiesCount.Value + addValue
end

if zombieHumanoid then
	addZombieCount(1)
	zombieHumanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		removeZombieCount(1)
	end)
end
#17 
local Debounce = false

zombieHumanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        if Debounce == false then
           Debounce = true
	      zombiesCount.Value = (zombiesCount.Value - 1)
         wait(0.5)
         Debouce = false
     end
end)

I’ll try that, give me a minute.

Why does the devforums minimize it to number i can’t say characters, ah.

This is what i meant by debounce:

if zombieHumanoid then
    db = false
    addZombieCount(1)
    zombieHumanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        if db == false then
            db = true
            removeZombieCount(1)
            wait(3)
            db = false
         end
    end)
end

Sorry, didn’t know. I thought by debounce, you meant like wait(10).

#27

Well, did my solution work for you?
