I need help with my combat stun system

[worn edge]

Currently for my combat system, I have a module called StunHandler that is supposed to stun the specified character for a specific amount of time.

However there is a problem when you try to stun a character multiple times. For example, when I hit a target character one time, the script works perfectly and the target character is stunned for lets say 1 second. But if I were to hit the target character with a 5-hit combo, the StunHandler module is supposed to keep that target character stunned until the combo ends.

My script however, doesn't do this and the target character sometimes gets un-stunned in the middle of a 5-hit combo

Here is the code below:

local StunHandler = {
    stunnedCharacters = {}
}

function StunHandler.create(target : Model, time)
    if StunHandler.stunnedCharacters[target] then return end
    
    StunHandler.stunnedCharacters[target] = {
        model = target;
        connections = {};
        elapsedTime = tick();
    }
    
    StunHandler.stunnedCharacters[target].model:SetAttribute("Stunned", true)
    StunHandler.stunnedCharacters[target].model.PrimaryPart.Anchored = true
    
    local highlight = Instance.new("Highlight", target) 
    highlight.FillTransparency = .5
    
        local connectionTable = StunHandler.stunnedCharacters[target].connections
    connectionTable.connect = target:GetAttributeChangedSignal("Stunned"):Connect(function()
        if not target:GetAttribute("Stunned") then
            target:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Highlight", true):Destroy()
            target.PrimaryPart.Anchored = false
            
            for _, connection in StunHandler.stunnedCharacters[target].connections do
                connection:Disconnect()
            end
            
            StunHandler.stunnedCharacters[target] = nil
        end
    end)
    
    task.delay(time, function() StunHandler.stunnedCharacters[target].model:SetAttribute("Stunned", false) end)
end

return StunHandler

task.delay(time, function() StunHandler.stunnedCharacters[target].model:SetAttribute("Stunned", false) end) you just need to restart this with like task.cancel and spawn another one

I would js put a number value that is constantly decreasing 0.1 every 0.1 seconds until 0, and if it’s above 0 the player is stunned. Also, to stun simply increase the number value for how long u wanna stun
