What is the correct way of triggering code if a part is touched?

Hello everyone, I was creating a little script where if someone touches the seat again, then the loop stops. So I added a little if statement that goes like this.

local seat = script.Parent

seat.TouchEnded:Connect(function())
local count = 0
while count < 30 do
if seat.Touched then
break
end
if count == 30 then
game.Workspace.Tank:Destroy()
end
count = count + 1
wait(0.5)
end

end) 

So I think I have done a little weird mistake, like i'm doubting the line that says "if seat.Touched then". Please help me with my script. Thanks!

Hey i think this will be the answer to your question. Also your code looks messy but you can tidy them up by doing like i did.

local seat = script.Parent
local Break = false

seat.Touched:Connect(function() -- Sets up an event that sets break to true
	Break = true
end

seat.TouchEnded:Connect(function())

	local count = 0
	Break = false -- Resets the value when you leave the seat
	
	while count < 30 do
		
		if Break then -- breaks from the loop if Break = true
			break
		end
		
		if count == 30 then
			game.Workspace.Tank:Destroy()
		end

	count = count + 1
	wait(0.5)

	end

end) 

The issue here is the wrapping of the function. An arguments list ends when a ) is added. If you look at the line where the function gets connected in the event's :Connect function, you'll see the arguments list end before the first line of the code you want to wrap. Everything else is fine, you simply need to remove the ) of the :Connect.

local Seat = script.Parent
local Count = 30
local IsTouching = false

seat.Touched:Connect(function()
	Count = 30 -- Reset time
	IsTouching = true
end)

seat.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
	IsTouching = false -- Make it false

	while wait(1) do -- Every 1 second
		if IsTouching == false then -- Detect if IsTouching == false, if not it obviously does not pass the statement
			Count -= 1 -- Minus one
		end
	end

	Count.Changed:Connect(function() -- Count changed
		if Count <= 0 then -- If count equal or lower than 0
			game.Workspace.Tank:Destroy() -- Destroy tank
		end
	end
end)
