AnimationEvents Overlap when it should be happening once

so i have an animation with animationevents.

local function spawnHitbox(hitbox, damage, partToFind, character, partCFrame, animation, sound)


	local animator = character.Humanoid.Animator
	-- stop animations
	for _, track in pairs(animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
		track:Stop(0.10)
	end
	
	animation:Play(0.15)
	--print(hitbox, character)
	local hrp = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	local connections = {}
	for i, connection in connections do
		connection:Disconnect()
	end

	table.clear(connections)
	
	table.insert(connections, animation:GetMarkerReachedSignal("Hit"):Connect(function(player, attack)
	
		print("ae")
		local newSound = sound:Clone()
		newSound:Play()

		local newHitBox = hitbox:Clone()
		newHitBox.Parent = game.Workspace
		newHitBox.CFrame = partCFrame
		newSound.Parent = hrp
		local hits = workspace:GetPartsInPart(newHitBox:FindFirstChild(partToFind))
		local charactersFound = {}

		for i, v in pairs(hits) do
			if v.Parent:IsA("Model") and v.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") and v.Parent ~= character then
				if not table.find(charactersFound, v.Parent) then
					table.insert(charactersFound, v.Parent)
				end
			end
		end

		for i, v in pairs(charactersFound) do
			v.Humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
		end
		newHitBox:Destroy()
	end))

end

i tried using a connections table but “ae” is still being printed multiple times and creates inconsistent damage!
the slash attack is supposed to do 10 damage but it causes more damage each hit. why is this happening and how do i fix it?
