How do i make a touch script activate only once and never again for the same player?
I'm trying to make a script which i would put inside trophies around the map and display how many trophies each player has however after a whole afternoon of brainstorming i got nil
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent ~= nil then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player ~= nil then
local stats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local trophies = stats: WaitForChild("TrophiesFound")
local humanoid = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid ~= nil then
if humanoid.Health ~= 0 then
trophies.Value = player.leaderstats.TrophiesFound.Value + 1
end
end
end
end
end)
All i've got is this script that adds +1 on the list of the player who touched it but it adds 5 every time i move near it or walking over it. If you can give me any kind of tip or suggestion your input would be greatly appricated

I won't give you actual code, but I'll let you fill in the blanks.
You can get a player by their character from game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter. From there, you can put that player into a table, and later iterate over the table and end the function if they're in it.
Put a Boolean value in StarterGui and have the function change it to true if the player clicks it. Have an if statement check whether or not it is true.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if (hit.Parent ~= nil) then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if (player ~= nil) then
if (player.PlayerGui.ClickedValue.Value == false) then --Check if false
local stats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local trophies = stats:WaitForChild("TrophiesFound")
local humanoid = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
if (humanoid ~= nil) then
if (humanoid.Health > 0) then -- ~= was changed to >
trophies.Value = player.leaderstats.TrophiesFound.Value + 1
player.PlayerGui.ClickedValue.Value = true --Set to true
end
end
end
end
end
end)
Also, you might want to consider cleaning up your code. Space out lines and put loop conditions in parentheses.
