Hello, I currently have a script where when a part is created with instance.new() I have a .Touched event connected to that new instance. The touched event is supposed to add coins on to the player. The problem I have is first of all when a part is touched it fires multiple times because a player touches the part multiple times. The fix I thought I would have for that was to add a debounce although a debounce fixes my original issue and now only gives one coin it creates a new one. Since all the instances are connected to the same function a debounce disables the other parts from getting that touched function until the debounce has ended. Is there a way I can solve this issue without having to put a script of this inside every new instance that is created?
for anyone wondering this is how I have my code set up right now, Ignore the fake variables
for i,v in pairs(alltheparts)
v.Touched:Connect(function()
end)
end
I didnt put the whole script in it it was just to show how it was set up, in the actuall script I have it, it works but it has the issue I explained in the long essay above it lol
local parts = game.Workspace.Folder:GetChildren()
local delayTime = 5
for i,v in pairs(parts ) do
local debounce = false
v.Touched:Connect(function()
if debounce then return end
debounce = true
print("hi")
task.wait(delayTime )
debounce = false
end)
end
Forgive me, your question seemed to be a bit confusing, so I misunderstood you, fixed it.
You should only apply the debounce inside the loop.
for i,v in pairs(alltheparts) do
local debounce = false
v.Touched:Connect(function()
if debounce then return end
debounce = true
onTouched() --your code to add coins on to the player
tasks.wait()
debounce = false
end)
end
