Players able to keep farming leaderstats (code below)

[split epoch]

This is my code within each touchdetecter

db = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if plr then
        if db == false then
            db = true
            plr.leaderstats["Celebs Found"].Value += 1
        end
    end
    wait(5)
    db = false
end)

this is leaderstats code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player


    local celebsFound = Instance.new("IntValue")
    celebsFound.Name = "Celebs Found"
    celebsFound.Value = 0
    celebsFound.Parent = leaderstats
end)

debounce pattern is wrong https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting/debounce it is constantly spawning threads that disable the debounce for everything that touches it, so a player running in circles through it will constantly be starting a 5 second timer that disables it, so they will be able to trigger it many times per frame.
