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:

01-- VARIABLES --
02local blacklisted = false
03 
04local playerService = game:GetService("Players")
05local player = playerService.LocalPlayer
06 
07local gui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui").HitDamagePartCount
08 
09local valueText = gui.CountTextValue
10local valueInt = gui.CountValue
11 
12local count = gui.Count
13 
14local teleporter = workspace.Teleport
15local touch = workspace.Touch
16 
17-- FUNCTION --
18function DamageGuiChanger(hit)
19    if blacklisted == false then
20        local humRoot = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
21        if hit == humRoot then
22            if valueInt.Value < 4 then
23                valueInt.Value = valueInt.Value + 1
24                print(hit)
25            else
26                humRoot.CFrame = CFrame.new(teleporter.Position.X, teleporter.Position.Y + 2, teleporter.Position.Z)
27                wait()
28                valueInt.Value = 0
29            end
30            if valueInt.Value == 0 then
31                count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0.666667, 0)
32            elseif valueInt.Value == 1 then
33                count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.333333, 0.666667, 0)
34            elseif valueInt.Value == 2 then
35                count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.666667, 0.666667, 0)
36            elseif valueInt.Value == 3 then
37                count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 0)
38            elseif valueInt.Value == 4 then
39                count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0.666667, 0)
40            else
41                count.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)
42            end
43        end
44        blacklisted = true
45        wait(.5)
46        blacklisted = false
47    end
48end
49 
50-- MAIN --
51while wait() do
52    valueText.Value = "5 of "..tostring(valueInt.Value).." hits to get teleported back!"
53    count.Text = valueText.Value
54    touch.Touched:Connect(DamageGuiChanger)
55end

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:

01local part = script.Parent
02 
03part.Touched:Connect(function()
04    -- to add touch interest
05end)
06 
07while wait() do
08    local touchingParts = part:GetTouchingParts() -- gets all touching parts
09 
10    for _, touchingPart in ipairs(touchingParts) do
11        local char = touchingPart.Parent
12        local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") -- if it's a character
13 
14        if hum and hum.Health > 0 then -- if humanoid is found
15            hum.Health -= 150 -- kills the player
16        end
17    end
18end

If you want to add a cooldown between part touching you can use debounce:

01local part = script.Parent
02 
03part.Touched:Connect(function()
04    -- to add touch interest
05end)
06 
07local cooldown = false -- cooldown
08while wait() do
09    if cooldown == false then -- if its off cooldown
10        local touchingParts = part:GetTouchingParts()
11 
12        for _, touchingPart in ipairs(touchingParts) do
13            local char = touchingPart.Parent
14            local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
15 
16            if hum and hum.Health > 0 then -- if humanoid is found
17                cooldown = true -- sets it on cooldown
18                hum.Health -= 10 -- kills the player
19 
20                wait(10) -- cooldown time
21                cooldown = false
22                -- you can remove 2 line above if u want 1 time use
23            end
24        end
25    end
26end
