I have this script that I just added touch function in. But when first touch it keeps being removed when spawned.
How do I stop the "touch" function after being touched?
Script: (Normal)
model = script.Parent
backup = model:clone()
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
while true do
wait(part)
model:remove()
wait(math.random(7,23))
model = backup
model.Parent = game.Workspace
model:makeJoints()
end
end)
Hey there! You can add debounces, for more info on debounces click this link below;

Now I will help you edit your script;
model = script.Parent
backup = model:clone()
local Cloning = false -- This is our debounce variable
model.Touched:connect(function(part) -- When you have a variable with script.Parent just say the model
if not Cloning then --If cloning is false then
Cloning = true --Set Cloning to true
while true do
wait(part)
model:remove()
wait(math.random(7,23))
model = backup
model.Parent = game.Workspace
model:makeJoints()
if Cloning then return end -- If cloning is true then return and end the script
end
end
end)
This script SHOULD function only once. If you want this function to function again then simply add a wait() and set Cloning back to false.

The reason your code keeps repeating is because of your while loop on line 7. Remove that if you don't want the model to continually regen.
To stop the Touched event's signal, you can use the Disconnect function of the Touched event's RBXScriptConnection.
Usage;
local model = script.Parent
local backup = model:clone()
local TouchedConnection
--^Predefine a connection var so we can access it inside the event
TouchedConnection = script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
model:Destroy() --Remove is deprecated!
wait(math.random(7,23))
model = backup
backup = model:Clone() --reset the backup var so it can be used again
model.Parent = game.Workspace
model:makeJoints()
TouchedConnection:Disconnect() --Disconnect signal
end)
Alternative methods to stopping the Touched event's signal would be:
script:Destroy()I wanted it to come back every time you touch it.
Then why is your question asking how to STOP the touch function after touching

Ok thanks, good to know it worked
It helped and didn't made it. Which is actually what it is supposed to be. Now it works.
