why wont this this script execute when player isnt touching the part anymore???

I attempted to make it so when the player gets off the block it prints "not touching anymore" but it does not print

I decided to try this because the .TouchedEnded event is trash and doesnt work all the time ;(

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") then
        local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        local coins = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Coins")
        local candy = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Candy")
        touching = true
        CEopen:FireClient(plr)
        while touching do
            wait(1)
            local touchingparts = script.Parent:GetTouchingParts()
            for i,v in pairs(touchingparts) do
                if v.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") == nil then
                    print("not touching anymore")
                end
            end
        end
    end
end)

Why don't you try to make a TouchedEnded event? hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

because its funky, when I use a touch ended event the touched event doesnt always fire, and when it does the touch ended event does not work its weird AWESOMEnoob3 3 — 6y

On line 12 you use WaitForChild. That will actually "block" what you are doing and the script will at that point wait until all children that are touching the part have a Humanoid child.

if v.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") == nil then

You will want to change that to FindFirstChild.

if v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") == nil then
