best way to handle stunning people

[obtuse root]

what would be the best way to handle stunning players for a certain amount of time? task.wait is being messy for me and unstunning when its not supposed to

not sure if this is the exact correct channel for this

mb if its not

[granite basin]

How is task wait being messy

Show code

[obtuse root]

okay hold on

while its booting up

the problem is

is that lets say i have 2 waits

one wait may finish and unstun before the other wait is finished

meaning it unstuns when i dont want it to

which is obviously bad

okay let me get the code rq

[granite basin]

So why u stunning twice

[obtuse root]

cuz of other moves happening at the same time

like m1s

thats 4 stuns happening in quick succession

local module = {}

function module.Stun(char : Model, timecantunstun : number, timestun : number)
    char:SetAttribute("Stunned", true)
    char:SetAttribute("CanUnstun", false)
    task.wait(timecantunstun)
    char:SetAttribute("CanUnstun", true)
    task.wait(timestun)
    if char:GetAttribute("CanUnstun") == false then return end
    char:SetAttribute("Stunned", false)
end

return module

Tbf if I was in this situation I'd just have variable in module that is stunned[per] and is set to Unix timestamp

[obtuse root]

whats that?

[granite basin]

With repeat untill rn is the unix

[granite basin]

Unix is number of seconds since 1970

Basically u can save time

[obtuse root]

so i should use repeat loops?

[granite basin]

Actually might be better way

I am thinking if not while loop with task wait wouldn't be better

As in
while true do
now = os.clock()
task.wait(stunned[plr]-now)
If stunned[plr] <= now then
Unstunne
End
end

[obtuse root]

this seems good

okay ill try it out in a bit

[granite basin]

Just don't run the loop more then once

If u add stun time while stunned it should be fine

Shouldnt have the problem u got

[obtuse root]

alr ill log in here how this goes

[obtuse root]

can you go more in detail with this? ive been trying to figure this out for a few days and well im not really getting anywhere

[granite basin]

local stunned = {}
function stun(player,duration)
if ISNT STUNNED (your logic here) then
  stunned[player] = (stunned[player] or os.clock()) + duration
  while true do
    task.wait(stunned[player]-os.clock())
    if os.clock() >= stunned[player}:
      unstunne
      stunned[player] = nil
      break
  end
else
  -- is stunned
  stunned[player] += duration
end
end

maybe smth like this

sorry for format but i wrote it on discord

[obtuse root]

okay ill try this out

thank you

[obtuse root]

i managed to get it working. tysm

[granite basin]

What method u used

[obtuse root]
