Asked by

So,I was making a script that only executes one time if it's Touched but everything was find until I added TouchedEnded event,why and how do I fix it?

I also got an error saying:

Workspace.Part.Script:12: unexpected symbol near 'then'

Script:

local Part = script.Parent
local Touched = false--Debounce
--------------------------
    Part.Touched:connect(function(TouchedPart)
        Touched = true
        FoundHumanoid= TouchedPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")--Checks if it's a humanoid
                if not FoundHumanoid then
                    print("You're not a Character "..TouchedPart.Name.." !")
                    Touched = false
                else
                    if not Touched or Part.TouchedEnded:connect(function()
                        then
                        print("I haven't been touched!")
                            Touched = false
                        Part.Transparency = 1
                    else

                        Part.Transparency = 0.5
                            print("I've been touched")

                end 
            end
        end)
    end)

Well, you cannot use an event in a conditional statement. Instead you should use the :wait() method of events to check whether the event has occurred or not. This is how it should look like.

local Part = script.Parent
local Touched = false--Debounce

    Part.Touched:connect(function(TouchedPart)
        Touched = true
        FoundHumanoid= TouchedPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")--Checks if it's a humanoid
                if not FoundHumanoid then
                    print("You're not a Character "..TouchedPart.Name.." !")
                    Touched = false
                else
                    if not Touched or Part.TouchEnded:wait()  then
                        print("I haven't been touched!")
                            Touched = false
                        Part.Transparency = 1
                    else
                        Part.Transparency = 0.5
                         print("I've been touched")
                end 
            end
    end)
