Ok, so I have a script where when I click, a hitbox appears on my character, right? I want this to be a hitbox for a punch but right now, since the hitbox has a touched script inside of it, it activates multiple times when im moving instead of activating once. Normally, this would be easy to fix using debounce but the problem is I want this hitbox to affect multiple players, while only running once for each player. How do I create a script like that?

heres a gif of what i mean about the hitbox activating multiple times below: https://gyazo.com/29965352daae1a3f33610c154bcfcc1c (if you're wondering, the damage script is only supposed to deal like 15 damage, and the goal is to have the damage only applied once per player)

and heres the script im using right now:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Classes.Bubble.AbilityLMB.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	
	local character = player.Character
	
	local hitbox = Instance.new("Part")
	local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
	local selectionbox = Instance.new("SelectionBox")
	
	selectionbox.Adornee = hitbox
	selectionbox.LineThickness = 0.01
	selectionbox.Color3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	
	selectionbox.Parent = hitbox
	
	hitbox.Size = Vector3.new(4.6, 4.6, 4.6)
	hitbox.CanCollide = false
	hitbox.Transparency = 0.6
	hitbox.Color = Color3.fromRGB(100,0,0)
	hitbox.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	hitbox.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
	
	hitbox.Parent = character
	
	weld.Part0 = hitbox
	weld.Part1 = character.HumanoidRootPart
	
	weld.Parent = hitbox
	
	local hitdamage
	
	hitdamage = hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			if hit.Parent.Name ~= character.Name then
				local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
				humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health - 15
			end
		end
	end)
	wait(0.3)
	if hitdamage ~= nil then hitdamage:Disconnect() end
	hitbox:Destroy()
end)
