Why does the Touched function play only once with this weapon script?

Everything works fine except the Touched function (Line 46) only plays once and never plays again until you re-equip it. How can I fix it to make it play endlessly?

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool.Handle
local equip = handle.Equip
local swing = handle.Swing
local quoteA = handle.QuoteA
local quoteB = handle.QuoteB
local hit = handle.Hit
local anim = tool.BatonSwing
local tik = handle.Tick
local damage = tool.HitBox
local debounce = false

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse)
    local character = tool.Parent
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local arm = character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
    local torso = character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
    local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
    local tik = handle.Tick
    local deboonce = false

    equip:Play()
    wait(0.3)
    quoteB:Play()

    weld.Parent = torso
    weld.Part0 = torso
    weld.Part1 = arm
    weld.C0 = CFrame.new(1.5,0.5,-0.5) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(1.5,0,0)

    Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
        if not debounce then

            debounce = true

            tik.Enabled = not tik.Enabled
            for i = 1,10 do
                weld.C0 = weld.C0 * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0.1,0,0)
                wait()
            end
            swing:Play()
            damage.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
                if not deboonce then

                    deboonce = true
                    -- Problems Here v v v
                    local char = hit.Parent
                    local noid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
                    local hatnoid = char.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

                    if noid then

                        quoteA:Play()
                        handle.Hit:Play()
                        noid.WalkSpeed = 6
                        noid.Sit = true
                        wait(3)
                        print("You're Free!")
                        noid.WalkSpeed = 16
                        noid.Sit = false
                    else

                        noid.WalkSpeed = 16
                        hatnoid.Sit = false
                    end
                    wait(0.1)
                    -------------
                    debounce = false

                end

You put your touched event inside of a Button1Down event, which can’t run unless the button is down. User#19524 175 — 5y

How do i fix this? Foridex 46 — 5y

It's inside the 'if's ? User#17685 0 — 5y

Hold left click down and let someone run the touched event User#17685 0 — 5y

We talked about this on discord, not much explaining needed. heh

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
    -- code 
    mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
        -- code
    end) 
end)

damage.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
-- code
end)


tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    -- code
end)

Just separare each event into their own code block. The `Button1Down` needs to be in the `Equipped` event because it passes the `PlayerMouse` as a parameter.

Why does the Touched function play only once with this weapon script?
