Basic scripting help (with wait)

[queen escarp]

local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
hit.Parent.Health = hit.Parent.Health - 10
wait(1)
end
end)

I think

Wait no

You need denounce

Sory

Debounce

Add a 1 sec debounce

[toxic basin]

How do I do that?

[prisma snow]

With debounce.

https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting/scripts/debounce

local Part = script.Parent
local db = false

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
    if debounce == false then
    debounce = true
      hit.Parent.Health = hit.Parent.Health -= 10
      wait(1)
      debounce = false
    end
end)

[toxic basin]

What even is a debounce?

[prisma snow]

Debounce is just an cooldown.

I don't really know how to explain it, that it is just an cooldown.

[toxic basin]

Oh ok

[queen escarp]

Yeah

[toxic basin]

Could you explain that code a little more so I can do it in future without just copying

[queen escarp]

A cool-down

So it pauses between each hit

So basically

It’s a Boolean variable (true or false)

[prisma snow]

I added the debounce link that you can go through.

you may just read it in the documetation.

[toxic basin]

Oh ok

[queen escarp]

And it helps pause the hit damage

Or just read what he sent

[toxic basin]

Well it isn't doing any dmg now

[prisma snow]

What are the errors?

I may do a mistake since im literally coding on discord.

ah i forgot smth.

[prisma snow]

lemme fix mistakes.

[toxic basin]

k

[queen escarp]

Show the code right now

It says you are forgetting quotations in a string I believe

[prisma snow]

local Part = script.Parent
local db = false

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
    if db == false then
    db = true
      hit.Parent.Health = hit.Parent.Health - 10
      wait(1)
      debounce = false
    end
end)

here, i made it

[toxic basin]

How do you make it like that on discord?

[queen escarp]

Delete humanoid and rewrite it again

[toxic basin]

Instead of just text

[prisma snow]

i cleared out the mistakes, i forgot about the variable.

[queen escarp]

Ugh

I’m tryna show it

[toxic basin]

Ok thanks

The code still doesn't work though

[prisma snow]

i get why it wont work

[queen escarp]

Rewrite “Humanoid”

[toxic basin]

lua

[prisma snow]

i may think.

[toxic basin]

woah

[prisma snow]

the code i copied from was:

[queen escarp]

And also change local db to debounce

[toxic basin]

Did I spell wrong?

[prisma snow]

he may did some mistakes.

[queen escarp]

No just rewrite it

[prisma snow]

local Part = script.Parent
local db = false

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
    if db == false then
    db = true
      hit.Parent.Health = hit.Parent.Health - 10
      wait(1)
      debounce = false
    end
end)

[vital salmon]

** You are now Level 1! **

[prisma snow]

The strings for Humanoid must be " ".

[prisma snow]

Or else roblox studio wont just really get it.

[prisma snow]

@toxic basin

The strings are used wrong.

[queen escarp]

Rewrite “Humanoid”

[toxic basin]

I just did

[prisma snow]

He wrote it correct.

The problem is the ".

[queen escarp]

He needs to rewrite it so it’s green

When you copy and paste sometimes the strings don’t register properly

Just trust me

[toxic basin]

Mine works when it isn't green

[prisma snow]

The strings are supposed to be " " im sure.

[toxic basin]

Mine is just different colors for that idk why

[queen escarp]

It’s underlined red

Just try it

[prisma snow]

local Part = script.Parent
local db = false

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
    if db == false then
    db = true
      hit.Parent.Health = hit.Parent.Health - 10
      wait(1)
      db = false
    end
end)

[toxic basin]

local debounce = false

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
        if debounce == false then
            debounce = true
            hit.Parent.Health = hit.Parent.Health - 10
            wait(1)
            debounce = false
        end
    end)```

That's the code

[prisma snow]

You used “ ” when trying to get the strings.

You should use " ".

[prisma snow]

However, just copy this code.

And wait for the results.

[toxic basin]

Oh it is green now

Why wasn't it before?

What was the difference ?

[prisma snow]

You used “ ”.

[queen escarp]

Try the script now

[prisma snow]

Which is wrong.

[toxic basin]

Still doesn't do dmg

[prisma snow]

It should be " ".

Why?

I'm sure the code is correct.

[toxic basin]

On the last bit of code

[queen escarp]

Hmm

Wait

I’ll fix

[prisma snow]

Ah. i forgot

[queen escarp]

Oh

[prisma snow]

It is hard to code on discord..

[queen escarp]

Ok

The

[queen escarp]

Agreed

[prisma snow]

local Part = script.Parent
local debounce = false

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
        if debounce == false then
            debounce = true
            hit.Parent.Health = hit.Parent.Health - 10
            wait(1)
            debounce = false
        end
end
    end)

[queen escarp]

I’m so used to it auto filling for me

[prisma snow]

i forgot to put another and

You may test it now.

[prisma snow]

Very true.

[toxic basin]

Why doesn't it anymore?

[queen escarp]

Huh?

Because this is discord

Not riblox studio

[toxic basin]

Oh

riblox

Now the "Humanoid" isn't green again 💀

[little fog]

@toxic basin

Here, i fully wrote them in roblox studio.

local Part = script.Parent
local db = false

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        if db == false then
            db = true
            hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
            task.wait(1)
            db = false
        end
    end
end)

[prisma snow]

Hm, i think that may be correct.

[toxic basin]

You fixed it 🫡

[little fog]

Cool.

[toxic basin]

How did we go through 117 messages and this guy comes in here first try lmao

How did you do it mr. smile face

[little fog]

Coding

[toxic basin]

🤯

Where do you learn from davex?

[little fog]

Devforum, and the Roblox's official scripting website. which Max1 sent.

[toxic basin]

Ok thank you so much

[little fog]

Well, the link.

Ah, wait.

Also a tip.

On roblox studio, press F1.

It brings you to the roblox tutorial website.

[toxic basin]

Ah ok

[little fog]

which includes scripting and debounces about this post topic!

[toxic basin]

Thank you, I am really trying to become a coder but it has been a struggle for me

I don't know how some people pick it up so easily lol

[little fog]

No problem, i hope you'll get there soon.

[toxic basin]

Do you have any other tips?

[little fog]

I never watched youtube scripting tutorials, but you can get a hand on them.

[toxic basin]

That's what I did and didn't seem to get very far with them 🤷‍♂️

[little fog]

To even increase your skills, you should use your imagination and pratice what it takes for.

The goal is the progression.

[toxic basin]

How does PSX scripts always work

Never fail

[little fog]

What?

[toxic basin]

Pet simulator X

on roblox

That game never has any errors

[little fog]

A little bit irrelative there, but.

[toxic basin]

Sorry I am just wondering lol

[little fog]

It is a little bit understandable, i dont know that much about that game but its just their skills are BIG, i guess.

[toxic basin]

Alright

Well thank you so much for the help

[little fog]

A little pun over there, haha..

Well, good day.

[toxic basin]

I see what you did lol

[little fog]
