An inquiry about " :Once "

Does " :Once " mean that the given code will run once only, and it can’t run again even if the player rejoined?

:Once() runs it’s callback once and then disconnects. it’s equivalent to:

local connection

connection = something.Event:Connect(function()
    connection:Disconnect()
    ...
end)

however, you’re going to need to provide more context with regards to this. what are you trying to achieve?

So like it only plays once FOREVER? If so you could prolly save some sort of value in a DataStore or database.

Then you could check if if that value is false (hasn’t ran the function for the player) and run the :Once function you have and then change the value to true and save it ofc.

Your code only runs once unless you wrap it in an event or a loop anyway.
You’re gonna need to be more descriptive about what you’re trying to do.

I just want the sound to play ONCE when the part is touched, and it never plays again.

edit: going afk for hours

Then yes, using Part.Touched:Once() on the server would work, but not cross-server. If you wanted to do that you’d need to use datastores, like others have said.

local IsSoundPlayed = false

Part.touched.... 
if IsSoundPlayed then return end
 IsSoundPlayed = true
Sound:Play
