How can I make this script not repeat every single time someone presses the button?

Hey macabe55101,
One way that you can do what you are asking for is disabling the script, which is basically like using a boolean value to decide if the script will run or not. Simply change the script's Disable property to true at the end of the function/code block. Below is a personal example.
function do_something(x, y) -- Declaring a function with x and y paramters (They are numbers)
print(x + y) -- Printing x + y
script.Disabled = true -- Disabling the script so it won't work unless this is set to false
end
do_something(2, 5) -- Calling the function(Prints 7 and then gets script disabled.
#Well, I hope I helped in one way or another. Have a great day/night.

No problem.
If you do not want to completely disable your script, then there is another alternative method. Assuming that you are connected to a click event, you could simply disconnect the click event.
local button = script.Parent
local elevator = button.Parent.Elevatorpiece
local ecf = elevator.Position
local onclick;
onclick = button.Click:connect(function()
print("elevator started")
wait(2)
for i = 1,52 do
elevator.Position = elevator.Position + Vector3.new (0,.5,0)
wait(.01)
end
onclick:disconnect();
end);
The onclick variable must be declared before assigning it like in this example so that when you get to the line where is disconnects it does not reference a variable that does not exist.
