Why is it not playing the sound + showing gui? (Again)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I am making a tutorial game, and at the start of making it, this script would work perfectly, now It sadly doesn’t, I’ve done some twitching, but it still doesn’t work.
There are no errors showing up in the output.
I checked, and the model is anchored, some can collide off.

local debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
        if debounce == false then
    debounce = true
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if not player then return end
     game.Workspace.Welcome:Play()
     print('Audio has played')
     player.PlayerGui.Welcome.Enabled = true
     print('Gui has true')
     wait(3.2)
     player.PlayerGui.Welcome.Enabled = false
     print('Gui has false')
     wait(3600) --The wait is optional
    debounce = false
   end
end)```

The problem is in your use of debounce. You should check for player and debounce in the same line,

if player and not debounce then
    -- do stuff
end

What’s happening here is if debounce is false, you make it true. Then if player doesn’t exist (which can happen very often), you exit the Touched event, never turning debounce false again. Next time the Touched event is fired, debounce is still true and the rest doesn’t run.

Fixed script 
local debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
     local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
     if player and not debounce then
          debounce = true
          game.Workspace.Welcome:Play()
          print('Audio has played')
          player.PlayerGui.Welcome.Enabled = true
          print('Gui has true')
          wait(3.2)
          player.PlayerGui.Welcome.Enabled = false
          print('Gui has false')
          wait(3600) --The wait is optional
          debounce = false
   end
end)
