I'm trying to make a damage script where if the player moves on a part, it does damage but only when the character is standing still on the part will it not hurt them, any help would be great.

This ought to work m8.

local Players = game:GetService("Players");

local Part; -- Define the part

local Touching = {};

local Delay = 1.5;
local Damage = 5;

local function getHumanoid(part)
    if (Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)) then
        return part.Parent.Humanoid;
    elseif (Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent.Parent)) then
        return part.Parent.Parent.Humanoid;
    end;
    return nil;
end;

local function partTouched(part)
    local Humanoid = getHumanoid(part);
    if (Humanoid) then
        local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Humanoid.Parent);
        if (not Touching[Player]) then
            Touching[Player] = true;
            while (Humanoid.Parent ~= nil and Touching[Player]) do wait(Delay);
                if (Humanoid.MoveDirection ~= Vector3.new(0,0,0)) then
                    Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage);
                end;
            end;
        end;
    end;
end;

local function partTouchEnded(part)
    local Humanoid = getHumanoid(part);
    if (Humanoid) then
        local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Humanoid.Parent);
        Touching[Player] = nil;
    end;
end;

Part.Touched:Connect(partTouched);
