I understand I'll be using the Touched Event, as well as the TouchEnded Event. I'm also quite sure I'll be using the delay function of Lua. Here's my pathetic attempt,

--In a Local Script in StarterPack
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Spawn = game:GetService("Workspace"):WaitForChild("Spawn")
local Platform = Spawn:WaitForChild("StartPlatform")
local IsTouching = false

function returntime(timewaited)
	print("Waited")
    IsTouching = false
end

Platform.Touched:connect(function(part)
	if not part or not part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or not part.Parent.Name == plr.Name or IsTouching then return end--if IsTouching = false then
	IsTouching = true
	Platform.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(math.random(),math.random(),math.random())
end)

Platform.TouchEnded:connect(function(part)
	if not part or not part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or not part.Parent.Name == plr.Name then return end
	delay(0.5, returntime)
end)

FE is on btw

A lot of the script is just checking if the object that touched the brick is the Local Player's character.

I want the brick to change colors when the player falls on the platform. If the platform changes colors when the player simply walks on the brick, that would simply not do.

I'm trying to think of other ways of explaining my question, but I can't seem to simplify this any further.

Comment if you need a question asked about my situation.

Thank you.

With help from Sporkyz, I came to the following solution,

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Spawn = game:GetService("Workspace"):WaitForChild("Spawn")
local Platform = Spawn:WaitForChild("StartPlatform")
local IsTouching = false
local Debounce = false

Platform.Touched:connect(function(part)
	if not part or not part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or not part.Parent.Name == plr.Name or IsTouching then return end--if IsTouching = true then
	IsTouching = true
	Platform.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(math.random(),math.random(),math.random())
end)

hum.FreeFalling:connect(function()
	if Debounce then return end
	Debounce = true
	IsTouching = false
	wait(1)
	Debounce = false
end)

Works like a charm. However, if this could be simplified, please let me know.

Thanks again.
