So, I've been attempting to create a poison gas object, and the only problem I've faced thus far is damaging others. Using .Touched, whenever the person being effected stops moving, they're not damaged. Using magnitude, I lag half to death. Any ideas? Thanks as usual! :)

There's an event called TouchEnded that does exactly what you think it does. You can combine it with Touched so that they constantly take damage while touching the cloud. Something like this:
touching = false
function damage(hit)
if hit:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
player = hit
touching = true
while touching do
hit.Humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
wait(.1)
end
end
end
function stoptouch(stopped)
if stopped == player then
touching = false
end
end

I hadn't known about .TouchEnded, that'll be really helpful now and later. Thanks so much! ^^

I came up with a runaround, for those who are interested. Basically, I just put those who touched the object into a table, and then put in a loop that took said person's magnitude. If they went out of the distance, they stopped getting damaged, whereas if they went back and touched the object, they got damaged again.
Lol, I crashed my studio trying to help
Haha, I know the feel. Thanks for the effort!
