Why .Touch Event only runs after jumping on it?
Hello, I want to script so if you touched a part five times, you'll get teleported back to the spawn point. It works fine, managed to fix how to update a gui and it wont loop while you stand on it, but it wont run everytime. There's no error given in output section. I've also looked for some solutions via Google, but no success. Here's the code:
-- VARIABLES --
local blacklisted = false
local playerService = game:GetService("Players")
local player = playerService.LocalPlayer
local gui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui").HitDamagePartCount
local valueText = gui.CountTextValue
local valueInt = gui.CountValue
local count = gui.Count
local teleporter = workspace.Teleport
local touch = workspace.Touch
-- FUNCTION --
function DamageGuiChanger(hit)
if blacklisted == false then
local humRoot = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if hit == humRoot then
if valueInt.Value < 4 then
valueInt.Value = valueInt.Value + 1
print(hit)
else
humRoot.CFrame = CFrame.new(teleporter.Position.X, teleporter.Position.Y + 2, teleporter.Position.Z)
wait()
valueInt.Value = 0
end
if valueInt.Value == 0 then
count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0.666667, 0)
elseif valueInt.Value == 1 then
count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.333333, 0.666667, 0)
elseif valueInt.Value == 2 then
count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.666667, 0.666667, 0)
elseif valueInt.Value == 3 then
count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 0)
elseif valueInt.Value == 4 then
count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0.666667, 0)
else
count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)
end
end
blacklisted = true
wait(.5)
blacklisted = false
end
end
-- MAIN --
while wait() do
valueText.Value = "5 of "..tostring(valueInt.Value).." hits to get teleported back!"
count.Text = valueText.Value
touch.Touched:Connect(DamageGuiChanger)
end
You may look between line 19 and 46. Hopefully somebody can help me. G'Day.

Hello!
Touched event only fires when the part begins to touch another part. I'd recommend you to use :GetTouchingParts() function to get any parts that are currently touching your parts
Also :GetTouchingParts() returns nil when the part has no TouchInterest, so you'll need to attach .Touched event
Example Code:
local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function()
-- to add touch interest
end)
while wait() do
local touchingParts = part:GetTouchingParts() -- gets all touching parts
for _, touchingPart in ipairs(touchingParts) do
local char = touchingPart.Parent
local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") -- if it's a character
if hum and hum.Health > 0 then -- if humanoid is found
hum.Health -= 150 -- kills the player
end
end
end
If you want to add a cooldown between part touching you can use debounce:
local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function()
-- to add touch interest
end)
local cooldown = false -- cooldown
while wait() do
if cooldown == false then -- if its off cooldown
local touchingParts = part:GetTouchingParts()
for _, touchingPart in ipairs(touchingParts) do
local char = touchingPart.Parent
local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum and hum.Health > 0 then -- if humanoid is found
cooldown = true -- sets it on cooldown
hum.Health -= 10 -- kills the player
wait(10) -- cooldown time
cooldown = false
-- you can remove 2 line above if u want 1 time use
end
end
end
end
