Jump Delay

[Sweetgebus]

Hello, I'm attempting to learn lua script and have been battling what I'm sure is a simple issue. I have my cube"Player" that I have made to be able to jump via key press. With the current logic, I can continue to press the key and the player will never hit the ground. I would like to be able to double jump and then wait for x amount of seconds before doing it again. I was looking into "Wait" but I'm not having luck with it either.

Although I am on my phone and cannot provide any code snippets, I would recommend making a Boolean that is set to false when the player is touching the ground and true when the player jumps. Two of those booleans would allow a double jump (if one is set to true only when the other is true).

function Script:UpdatePhysics()

    self.entity:AddForce(0,0,-.5)

    if window:KeyHit(Key.Space) then
        self.entity:AddForce(0,10,0,true)
    end
