Sword still damaging players even when it shouldn't?

Hi, I'm trying to make an ability for a sword which does a lot of damage in one hit. It does the damage, but it keeps damaging the opponent even when you're just holding the sword over them. Ive tried making it wait and set the takedamage script to 0 but it still won't work. Help would be much appreciated!

here is the script in server script service which gets activated once a remote event is fired:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Bat.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local char = player.Character
	local bat = char:FindFirstChild("Bat")
	
	wait(1.2)
	
	bat.Handle.Bonk:Play()
	bat.Handle.bat_hit:Play()
	
	bat.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			if hit.Parent.Name ~= player.Name then
				hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(1.5)
			end
		end
	end)
	
	wait(.5)
	
	bat.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			if hit.Parent.Name ~= player.Name then
				hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(0)
			end
		end
	end)
end)
