I want the script to damage the player on touch every five seconds, but it damages the player repeatedly without waiting one second.
function onTouch(part)
local human = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (human == nil) then return end -- if it is not a humanoid, then do nothing, otherwise...
human.Health = human.Health - 5 -- then kill the humanoid
wait(1)
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)
###Use a debounce. You can delay code with them, or completely stop code.
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
-- :Connect not :connect, :connect is deprecated
local human = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
-- :FindFirstChild not :findFirstChild, :findFirstChild is deprecated
if human and not debounce then -- no need for ~= nil or the brackets
debounce = true -- set to true if humanoid is present
wait(5)
debounce = false -- set back to false so code can run again
end
end)

Use debouce(if else).
Event performs the function without waiting for the end of the function. You must create debounce variable and specify " if else"
