about Touched events [?]

First, let me account for your misconceptions.

• The touched event does not "only" activate "when a part is touched by another part".

Yea, I know, it's weird. The touched event also detects Terrain, Unions, hats, and accessories.

• The touched event works for parts and unions with can collide false, even invisible.

Used quite a lot for invisible detection.

The reason why the Touched event fires even when you're not moving,

The reason this happens is due to the Idle Animation roblox plays when a character is stationary. If you were to move you would also still get more than one touched event firing at once.

How do I detect when a player is on a part using the Touched event?

I actually looked into this and found my own method. I'll be using the TouchEnded event now as well.

First, let's get our Touched Event Setup,

-- regular script in part
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(p)
    --code later
end)

Now let's add the touch ended event with an embedded wait() function.

-- regular script in part
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(p)
    script.Parent.TouchEnded:wait()
    --code later
end)

Cool, now let's add some variables!

local value = 0

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(p)
    value = value+1
    script.Parent.TouchEnded:wait()
    value = value-1
end)

This almost works! All we need is a wait and it will detect when a person is standing/or touching, the part.

local value = 0

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(p)
    value = value+1
    script.Parent.TouchEnded:wait()
    wait(.35)-- Experiment with this number
    value = value-1
end)

That will actually work. Now anywhere in our script we can check if a player in touching the part by checking if "value" is greater than 0. Here's a loop to demonstrate it working,

local value = 0

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(p)
    value = value+1
    script.Parent.TouchEnded:wait()
    wait(.35)
    value = value-1
end)

while wait() do
    if value > 0 then
        print("I'm Being Touched!")
    else
        print("I'm not being touched")
    end
end

Now whenever you stand on the part it will print("I'm being touched"), and anytime no one is touching the part it will print("I'm not being touched").

I hope I helped you some.

Good Luck!
