In my game, if the player presses the control buttons repeatedly, it can lead to accidental death. How can I limit the number of times the control buttons can be pressed so that the player cannot intentionally die by spamming the keyboard? Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Note!
Creating a timer doesn't help.

    Scel Maintain a counter variable that's incremented on each press. Ignore the press event if the counter value is beyond the limit.

      why not?

      my_button.pressed.connect(button_press.bind(my_button))

      func button_press(oth : Button) -> void:
     oth.disabled = true
     await get_tree().create_timer(0.5).timeout#wait 0.5 seconds to click again
     oth.disabled = false

      just an example
