so uhhh for some reason the script wont stop going after the remoteevent gets triggered

local script

local PlayerL = PlayerS.LocalPlayer

local Claymore = script.Parent
local Sword = Claymore.Handle

local CRE = script.ClickRE

Claymore.Activated:Connect(function()
    local Debounce = false    
    Debounce = true
    
    Sword.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
        if Hit then
            local HitHumanoidH = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
            
            CRE:FireServer(HitHumanoidH)
        end
    end)
    
    wait(0.5)
    
    Debounce = false
end)```

# script (bugged)

```local Claymore = script.Parent
local Sword = Claymore.Handle

local CRE = Claymore.ClickLS.ClickRE

CRE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, HitHumanoidH)
    local Debounce = false
    Debounce = true
    
    Sword.Touched:Connect(function()
        if HitHumanoidH then
            if HitHumanoidH then
                print(1)
            end
        end
    end)
    wait(0.5)
    
    Debounce = false
end)```

im trying to make a script for a sword from scratch and, uhh... yeah. this happens

mystic galleon Apr 9, 2025, 7:52 AM

#

what do you mean?

#

how many times does "1" get printed?

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 7:55 AM

#

mystic galleon how many times does "1" get printed?

tons of times

#

oh i forgot to attach the video uhh

#

indirectly found out i needed to use a hitbox since it would be able to touch multiple limbs yet it still prints roughly the same, if not more times

mystic galleon Apr 9, 2025, 7:55 AM

#

yea because it's touched

#

it fires everytime the sword being touched

#

u did put debounce, in a wrong way

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 7:56 AM

#

yep

#

ahh ok

mystic galleon Apr 9, 2025, 7:56 AM

#

u didnt create cooldown

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 7:56 AM

#

how would i? not too good at debounces

mystic galleon Apr 9, 2025, 7:58 AM

#

local debounce = true
while task.wait() do
if debounce then
debounce = not debounce
print ("fired")
task.wait(2)
debounce = not debounce
end
end ```

#

this will print fired every 2 second

#

that's how debounce work

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 7:58 AM

#

huh alright

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 8:16 AM

#

mystic galleon that's how debounce work

ok uhh

#

added the debounce so that problems fixed

#

but theres still one problem

mystic galleon Apr 9, 2025, 8:16 AM

#

?

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 8:16 AM

#

after the first click the script acts like the remoteevent is always fired or something

#

so despite me not clicking its still printing when its near a hitbox

mystic galleon Apr 9, 2025, 8:17 AM

#

wdym

#

put a vud

#

vid

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 8:17 AM

#

alright

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 8:18 AM

#

mystic galleon vid

#

the first print was supposed to happen

#

because i clicked

#

but the rest werent because i wasnt clicking

#

but they still happened anyways

#

@mystic galleon

#

apologies for the ping btw

mystic galleon Apr 9, 2025, 9:10 AM

#

tender skiff but the rest werent because i wasnt clicking

ye because the debounce hasnt been set to true again

#

just reduce the time it takes to be set to its original

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 9:10 AM

#

wait huh

#

doesnt it go like debounce false, true, wait, false?

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 9:30 AM

#

mystic galleon just reduce the time it takes to be set to its original

^ ?

mystic galleon Apr 9, 2025, 9:36 AM

#

tender skiff ^ ?

use for loops

#

for i = 1,... do
Humanoid:TakeDamage(...)
end

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 9:42 AM

#

mystic galleon use for loops

would that mean that it would only trigger once?

mystic galleon Apr 9, 2025, 9:43 AM

#

it would give damage multiple times

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 9:43 AM

#

mystic galleon it would give damage multiple times

uhh

#

kind of not what i was going for but i appreciate the effort

#

im trying to figure out why the script keeps running seconds after the onserverevent fires

white zenithBOT Apr 9, 2025, 9:45 AM

#

studio ** You are now Level 4! ** studio

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:32 AM

#

Coroutines

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:47 AM

#

shut galleon Coroutines

would that force the function/script to only run once?

#

heres the new script too

#

what

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:47 AM

#

Nah

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:47 AM

#

i cant send it??

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:47 AM

#

But you could resume it when you need

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:47 AM

#

hmm

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:47 AM

#

When you click you call it

#

And then when the animations end you can stop it

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

if theres no other way then ill try that

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

Why do you mean by running once ?

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

well

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

Is it like

#

The even running a single time

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

yeah

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

Forever

#

?

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

yeah

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:49 AM

#

Then use :Once()

#

Instead of :Connect

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:49 AM

#

i have

#

just earlier

#

let me try again tho

#

yep it doesnt work

#

this never happened to me ever while using Part.Touched

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:50 AM

#

It fires multiple times ?

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:50 AM

#

yep

#

i mean

#

the Part.Touched stays active

#

despite the remoteevent not firing multiple times

#

thats the best i can describe it

#

lemme video again

#

t

#

the first one i clicked

#

the rest i wasnt

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

But why are you using a localscript for the sword in the first place ?

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

yes

#

a localscript for the remoteevent

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

Why*

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

for the clicking

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

You don’t need to

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

and the player specific things

#

like things you cant get easily within a normal script

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

You can do .Activated in a server script

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

tender skiff like things you cant get easily within a normal script

The player ?

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

yeah

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

You can easily get the player using the server script

#

When the tool is activated, it is obviously equipped, right ?

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

yep

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

When the tool is equipped, the tool’s parent is the Character

#

Therefore, when you activate your tool, you can just

local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent)```

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:57 AM

#

hm

#

hold on

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:58 AM

#

Should work if the script is the child of the tool

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:58 AM

#

hm alright lemme just try that real quick

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 10:59 AM

#

K gotta go shower

#

Lmk what happens

#

Ill come back soon

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 10:59 AM

#

alr

shut galleon Apr 9, 2025, 11:31 AM

#

Yo

#

How’s it been so far ?

tender skiff Apr 9, 2025, 11:37 AM

#
