Touch Stop Not Working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

my tool flings the player when the player clicks on the tool. when I am first Activating the tool it is flinging the player and after I come to fling the player again it is automatically flings him without I Activating the tool again.

how can i do that every time player Activates the tool it will fling the player? but only when player activates the tool. thanks for help i appreciate it a lot.

server script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Debounce = false

script.Parent.Push.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(WaIt)

		script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(touch)

			print("touched")
			if touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") == nil then return end 

			local HRP = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") 

			local Humanoid = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")


			local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", HRP) 

			BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(50,50,50) 

			wait(1)

			BodyVelocity:Destroy()

		end)
end)

local script:

local Debounce = false

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
	local Anim = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Animation")

	local ThrowChairAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
	
	if Debounce == false then
		
		Debounce = true
		ThrowChairAnim:Play()
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Push:FireServer(1)
		print("fired")
		wait(1)

		Debounce = false
	end
end)

Just turn on CanTouch every time you fire the event
(Basically set CanTouch to true every time event fires. Let’s say:

remoteWhenAnimPlays:FireServer()
anim.Stopped:Wait()
remoteWhenAnimStops:FireServer()

remoteWhenAnimPlays.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
hitbox.CanTouch = true
end)

remoteWhenAnimStops.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
hitbox.CanTouch = false
end)
hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
hitbox.CanTouch = false
--- function
end)

Why not just use debounce?

local debounce = false

After the touched function:

debounce = true
--code, then set debounce to false again

Because it’s not accurate enough

Another mistake you’re doing here is that you’re nesting the Touched event in the OnServerEvent event. This means that every time the remote event gets called, you will connect a duplicate Touched event, which will make it fire n+1, n being the number of times it has already been called.

Connecting an event returns a RBXScriptConnection object that with a :Disconnect() method that you can use to prevent this.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Debounce = false
local connection = nil

script.Parent.Push.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(WaIt)

		connection = script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
			if Debounce == true then return end
			Debounce = true
			print("touched")
			if touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") == nil then return end 

			local HRP = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") 

			local Humanoid = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")


			local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", HRP) 

			BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(50,50,50) 

			wait(1)

			BodyVelocity:Destroy()
			Debounce = false
			connection:Disconnect()
		end)
end)
