What are alternative ways I can yield/wait this script?

I have a combat script that, with each m1, increases the combo count.

This script also uses a :GetMarkerReachedSignal() event in order to let the script know when to detect a hit during an animation.

Here is the script:

local m1Anim : AnimationTrack = CombatModule.PlayAnimation(tostring(combatinfo.Weapon.. combatinfo.Combo))
			
			m1Anim:GetMarkerReachedSignal("hit"):Once(function()
				local detectedHit, Enemies = CombatModule.HitboxDetection(combatinfo.Character)
				
				if detectedHit and Enemies then
					CombatEvent:FireServer("ServerCombat", "OnHit", Enemies, combatinfo) 
				end
			end)
			
			combatinfo.LastM1 = os.clock()
			print(combatinfo.Combo)
			
			character:SetAttribute("Action", "M1")
			character:SetAttribute("M1", true)
			
			if combatinfo.Combo >= 5 then
				combatinfo.Combo = 1

				task.delay(combatinfo.ComboCooldown, function()
					character:SetAttribute("Action", "None")
					character:SetAttribute("M1", false)
				end)
			else
				combatinfo.Combo += 1
				
				task.delay(combatinfo.M1CD, function()
					character:SetAttribute("Action", "None")
					character:SetAttribute("M1", false)
				end)
			end

On the 5th m1, I want to knock back the enemy and ragdoll them (I already know how to do this), but the main issue is that every time I send the combo count from the client to the server, it’s always 1 ahead on the server because it increases the count before the :GetMarkerReachedSignal() event fires.

For example, let’s say I currently just performed my 2nd m1. On the server, it registers as the 3rd m1 because again, the combo increases before the animation event fires. Is there any way I can yield the script or do something about this to wait to increase the combo count? Help is much appreciated!

You could always just subtract the given combo by 1 on the server

Thanks, i just redefined the variable in the server script and took it from there
