Adding a cooldown

[halcyon topaz]

Does anyone know where I'd put the wait statement to add a cooldown to get the chance to encounter. I've tried putting it everywhere but it just delays the action and then checks every frame

** You are now Level 5! **

You can see here it checks every frame you're touching the part

Which would just lead to rappid fire encounters

[knotty drift]

you'd put it after the if statement about what the encounter is

like beneath the end that comes after the "ENCOUNTER MONSTER COMMON"

also be sure to use task.wait() as it is more accurate that just wait() from what I've heard

[halcyon topaz]

This didn't do anything but I did get the same effect as waiting by making the encounter chance out of 100 and anything above 97 encounters

[knotty drift]

local randomNumber = math.random(1,10)
if randomNumber >= 7 and not cooldown then
local encounterRarity = math.random(1,10)
if encounterRarity == 10 then
print("epic")
elseif encounterRarity > 7 then
print("rare")
else
print("common")
end
end
task.wait(10)

this is how i meant @halcyon topaz

sorry I think I got a bit confused explaining it

WAIT

actually

Ik why now

Sorry, I got it wrong so

my solution would be to add in a cooldown variable

[knotty drift]

cuz, even if you have a wait, you're still touching the part a ton of times as you walk, so therefore roblox is contiously running that code @halcyon topaz

so you'll need a cooldown variable that ensures once you touch it once, then it'll wait a bit before running the code again

tyty i managed to get it to work right

alr np, sorry for the confusion initially
