How can I make the Touched event fire only once?
I wrote this script to show a problem I am having. When a humanoid touches this part it shows that the part is touched thousands of times. How would I rewrite this script so that when the part is touched by a humanoid, the function will run only once until retouched.
countNumber = 0
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
countNumber = countNumber + 1
print(countNumber)
end
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local IfTouched = Instance.new("BoolValue", plr)
IfTouched.Name = "IfTouched"
end)
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") then
local _plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if _plr.IfTouched.Value == false then
IfTouched.Value = true
countNumber = countNumber + 1
print(countNumber)
end
end
end)
Basically makes a value inside the player so when the player steps on the brick it turns the value to true and then if they touch it again it won't work because it will only work if the value is false

thats really nasty code. just make a variable, this code will forever make me cry. you took the time to find a bool inside a player, and create one in a player that will work *once*... duuuuude, a simple boolean could have done the trick T_T greatneil80 2647 — 4y

bruh Why make an object inside the player when you can just make a bool variable -_- DizzyGuy70 38 — 4y

This is actually very simple. You just need to add a "debounce". Here's the code:
countNumber = 0
local Touched = false -- This is a "debounce"
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if Touched == false then
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
Touched = true
countNumber = countNumber + 1
print(countNumber)
wait(1) -- Feel free to change the time to the time you want to wait before a player can touch the part again.
Touched = false
end
end
end)

You can use TouchEnded event to debounce, because he said he need the script stop until the player re-touch. Block_manvn 395 — 4y

It's still somewhat the same isn't it? Except one fires when the player begins touching the part and the other fires after the player touches the part guest_20I8 266 — 4y
