How do i use debounce to delay my animation input detection scripts from all playing at the sametime

[wary bluff]

how do i stop this

[crimson nexus]

you didnt do the "if debounce == false then"

think of it as a on off switch, you first are setting it false (line 9) then you need to make sure it's off before turning it on, (if debounce == false then debounce = true) then after the function set it back to false, because you cant turn the switch on if its already on (debounce = false)

remove line 23, you already referenced it in line 9

i always see ppl use debounce

but tbh is much easier to use cooldown

its just a change of the variable name

but your brain will intepret it better

so local cooldown = false
if cooldown then return end
-- then you set start the cooldown
cooldown = true
task.wait(2) -- this is not prefered ig you should use task.spawn or task.delay(task.delay is much easier to understand since the parameter is just: task.delay(time, function() end)

holdup

i remember you

arent you the first person i talk to in this server 🥶

[crimson nexus]

no idea

when did you join

wait i can see

yeah i cant remember that far back

[crimson nexus]

this is using debounce, i never used cooldown before so idk which is better (but considering its just the name change i dont think they're any different)

local debounce = false

UIS. InputEnded: Connect(function(I,E)
    
    if debounce == false then debounce = true
        
        if E then return end
        
        for _, playingTrack in animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks() do
            playingTrack:Stop(0)
            abilitytrack.Looped = false
        end
        abilitytrack:Play()
        
        task.delay(1, function()
            debounce = false
        end)
        print("punch")
        game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
    end
end)

??

Ty

[abstract temple]

understandable?

[abstract temple]

yeah there's no difference lol

its just your brain intepret cooldown faster because its a more common word

[hot frigate]

debounce and cooldown isnt entirely the same

debounce is global cooldown to all moves

cooldown can be for each skill

[wary bluff]

Ok

So denounce should be in every Anim script

Since its global

[hot frigate]

wym

[wary bluff]

How is it global if I put it in one script

[crimson nexus]

global is a variable that can be accessed by code in the same script, not all scripts

correct me if im wrong idkk mann

wait so this can be confusing because as this guy said [image]

[wary bluff]

oh

[wary bluff]

TY

[abstract temple]

wrong 💀

oh never mind

i thought you said _G-

[abstract temple]

IT IS THE SAME ITS JUST A NAME-

[wary bluff]

bro what the

cooldown is a bool

and debounce is a bool right

aren't they the same thing only different by name

do bools do different things by name

my anims are still playing all at once

[abstract temple]

YEAH THATS WHAT I SAID-

[abstract temple]

script error duh

[wary bluff]

I don’t have any errors

This value thingy is an error though

[abstract temple]

exactly
