cloning from replicated storage .touch issue | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

intention: every time you click and you are in contact with a part called "CoalOre" it clones the tool: "Coal" from replicated storage once and gives the 1 coal to you by parenting it to your backpack
bug: idk how to explain. first click = gives you one coal, second gives two, third gives 3 etc etc so after 3 clicks you have 6 coal..

local handle = tool.Handle
local hitbox = tool.Hitbox
local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local coal = repstorage.Coal
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local debounce = false

tool.Activated:Connect(function(on)
    if not debounce then
        debounce = true
        if debounce == true then
            hitbox.CanTouch = true
            hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
                if hit.Name == "CoalOre" then
                    print("MINE")
                    local clone = coal:Clone(1)
                    clone.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
                    hitbox.CanTouch = false
                    task.wait(1)
                    debounce = false
                else
                    return false;
                end
            end)
        end
    end
end)```

you never disconnect the touched connection, so the first time it will run once, next two, next three...

cunning ingot Apr 3, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

dusk sapphire can you state ur issue in a sentence

uhh so
basically the touched event stacks if that makes sense

dusk sapphire Apr 3, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

oh yeah

cunning ingot Apr 3, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

so when activated the touch will give me 1 coal first time, 2 coal second, 3 the 3rd and so on and so forth

dusk sapphire Apr 3, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

ok

#

send me the code

cunning ingot Apr 3, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

i basically want it to just give me 1 every time

#

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool.Handle
local hitbox = tool.Hitbox
local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local coal = repstorage.Coal
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local debounce = false

tool.Activated:Connect(function(on)
    if not debounce then
        debounce = true
        if debounce == true then
            hitbox.CanTouch = true
            hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
                if hit.Name == "CoalOre" then
                    print("MINE")
                    local clone = coal:Clone(1)
                    clone.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
                    hitbox.CanTouch = false
                    task.wait(1)
                    debounce = false
                else
                    return false;
                end
            end)
        end
    end
end)```

#

im not good with debounce if that might be what it is

#

cause im tryna learn how to use it and stuff

dusk sapphire Apr 3, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

ok let me clean this up first

#

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool.Handle
local hitbox = tool.Hitbox
local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local coal = repstorage.Coal
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local debounce = false

local hitboxTouchedConnection = nil

tool.Activated:Connect(function(on)
    if debounce then return end
    debounce = true
    hitbox.CanTouch = true

    if (hitboxTouchedConnection~=nil) then
      hitboxTouchedConnection:Disconnect()
    end
    
    hitboxTouchedConnection = hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        if hit.Name == "CoalOre" then
            print("MINE")
            local clone = coal:Clone(1)
            clone.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
            hitbox.CanTouch = false
            task.wait(1)
            debounce = false
        else
            return false;
        end
    end)

end)

#

ok

#

i think this is good enough @cunning ingot

#

im really just guessing the issue

#

but im like 78 percent sure its the connection being made multiple times

cunning ingot Apr 3, 2025, 9:21 PM

#

dusk sapphire but im like 78 percent sure its the connection being made multiple times

oo ok ty

#

ill test it in a sec

cunning ingot Apr 3, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

dusk sapphire ```lua local tool = script.Parent local handle = tool.Handle local hitbox = tool...

btw what did you change / howd u change it?

dusk sapphire Apr 3, 2025, 9:23 PM

#

cunning ingot btw what did you change / howd u change it?

so basically, everytime you activated your tool, it does the hitbox.Touched. roblox doesnt really mention this alot to the new developers but when you listen to an event, it returns a connection. connections can be disconnected for memory and also to just disconnect it

studio ** You are now Level 5! ** studio

dusk sapphire Apr 3, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

so basically

#

everytime you activated the tool

#

it made a new connection

#

and the old ones never deleted

#

so basically one tool had like 8 listeners to when it gets touched

cunning ingot Apr 3, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

ooohh

cunning ingot Apr 3, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

dusk sapphire so basically one tool had like 8 listeners to when it gets touched

wait so how did you disconnect it?

#

so that it was just 1

dusk sapphire Apr 3, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

#

if the connection exissts

#

:Disconnect()

#

you can cache any event your listneing to

#

returns a RBXCONNECTION

#

local plradded = game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
  print('a player named {plr.Name} joined you') --idk if this is how you concatonate with curly 
end)

-- wiaitng for people that joined in first 10 seconds
task.wait(10)

-- ok no more people
plradded:Disconnect()

cunning ingot Apr 3, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

#

dusk sapphire Apr 3, 2025, 10:12 PM
