Heartbeats in heartbeat minigame triggering when not supposed to

[covert raft]

When more than one heartbeat show up on one side, when i hit only one it prints "hit" and "miss"x the amount of other heartbeats there are. Or, when i miss one, it prints "missed" twice. How do i make it so then it only targets one heartbeat at a time?

if you have questions feel free to ask

just keep track of the next heart

you could of all the hearts in a ordered list

and just remove it when you click

and only check the first one in the list if you hit it at the right time

make a table

activehearts = {}

use indexing

currentIndex = 1

minigame part

functionheartbeat()
(insert whatever condition is required for the minigame to take place)
activeHearts[currentIndex] = {
canHit = false }

task.delay(0.5, function()
    if not activehearts[currentIndex] then return end
    activehearts[currentIndex].canHit = true
end)

task.delay(0.8, function()
    if not activeHearts[currentIndex] then return end
    activeHearts[currentIndex].canHit = false

if Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and canHit.Value == true then
table.remove(activehearts, currentIndex)
currentIndex += 1

note dont copy and paste the code above its jst there to show the structure

the actual logic is

list tracks active hearts we only check the current index for inputs, if an input is recieved remove the current index and move to the next index

actually wait i think removing the current and going to the next bugs it

maybe just remove the current if it doesnt work

idk im not super experienced

nevermind, i added a queue system with for i ipairs loop then broke out when i found the first heartbeat'

[leaden pebble]

ordered list bro and just get the first index

why would you loop through it every time
