You can try adding a table for the players who are finished and so if you touch the part, you get added but if touch the part again but already added to the table, it won't send way too many messages.
local finishedplayers = {}
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if part:IsDescendantOf(v.Character) and not table.find(finishedplayers,v) then
table.insert(finishedplayers,1,v)
game.ReplicatedStorage.ReachedEnd:FireAllClients(v.Name)
end
end
end)

your right, also table.insert does not take the index anymore in the second parameter, so you only need the table and the value Xapelize 2658 — 3y

noob yapelize this guy is pro, `table.find` does linear search, player that touched the part is very likely to be the first one to touch it again 5 times in a row cuz every limb, this guy inserts the player at start of table so `table.find` will find the player immediately imKirda 4491 — 3y
