message.Text = messgeText
messageText = "Hello"


function onTouched(hit)

local h = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")

if h ~= nil then

message.Parent = Game.Workspace.Part
wait(5)

Here is how I would do it:

local msgText = "Hi there. You should probably change this."

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    local findhum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if findhum then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        local findm = player.PlayerGui:findFirstChild("msg")
        if not findm then
            local msg = Instance.new("Message", player.PlayerGui)
            msg.Text = msgText
            msg.Name = "msg"
            wait(5)
            msg:remove()
        end
    end
end)

try this

touched = false -- debounce

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if touched == false then
        touched = true
        if h ~= nil then
            local message = Instance.new("Message")
            message.Text = "Hello"
            message.Parent = Workspace
            wait(5) -- edit
            message:Destroy()
        end
    touched = false

Here's a simple way to do it:

debounce = false -- To keep the PlayerGui clean
duration = 5 -- How long the msg shows.
msgText = "Hello!" -- The text to be displayed

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    humanoid = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if(humanoid ~= nil and debounce == false) then
        if(game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui:findFirstChild("Message") == nil) then
            debounce = true
            msg = Instance.new("Message", game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui)
            msg.Text = msgText
            wait(duration)
            msg:remove()
            debounce = false
        end
    end
end)
