My script prints multiple times when it's touched, and it should only once per touch. How to fix?
Here's an example:
Player = 0
while task.wait() do
local Zone = workspace:GetPartsInPart(script.Parent)
for i, v in pairs(Zone) do
if v.Name == "UpperTorso" then
wait()
Player = 1
end
end
if Player == 1 then
print("player do exist")
OpenAnim:Play()
wait(0.71)
OpenAnim:AdjustSpeed(0)
Player = 2
elseif Player == 2 then
Player = 0
OpenAnim:AdjustSpeed(1)
print("Player dont exist")
end
end
Every time my character overlaps with the script parent, OpenAnim loops when it should just play once per interaction and freeze.

The code is in a loop, so it repeatedly runs through the code many times per second. In this case, as long as Player is equal to one it will loop as many times as it can before Player == 2. I would add debounce argument to your if statement. Try what I have written below. I'm not sure if it will work in the context of your code but hopefully it gives you an idea. I hope this helps!
Player = 0
local debounce = true
while task.wait() do
local Zone = workspace:GetPartsInPart(script.Parent)
for i, v in pairs(Zone) do
if v.Name == "UpperTorso" then
wait()
Player = 1
end
end
if Player == 1 and debounce == true then
print("player do exist")
OpenAnim:Play()
debounce = false
wait(0.71)
debounce = true
OpenAnim:AdjustSpeed(0)
Player = 2
elseif Player == 2 and debounce == true then
Player = 0
OpenAnim:AdjustSpeed(1)
print("Player dont exist")
end
end
