Continuous touch damage

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So basically I want to make player deal damage continuously when they touch the part.

However, using the touched function.

script.parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)

Local player = part.Parent
Local humanoid = player.Humanoid
humanoid.Health -= 1

end)

The player will only get detected for a few times and deal ~ 4-7 damage
Any ways to make the part keep detecting if the player still on the part and damage the player continuously?
Thank you :pray:

you need to use a debounce more info about it here if you want to understand it more

   local db = false
    local DB_TIME = 4.5 -- 4.5 seconds
    script.parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
        if db then return end -- makes it not run
        db = true
        Local player = part.Parent
        Local humanoid = player.Humanoid
        humanoid.Health -= 1
        wait(DB_TIME) -- waits a time then turns off the debounce
        db = false
    end)

OP wanted continuous damage? I think you would need a smaller debounce, maybe around .5 or 1 second.

Yeah second thought since he said

“Any ways to make the part keep detecting if the player still on the part and damage the player continuously?”

im now thinking he should use Region3 to do this

just turn off the CanTouch value

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
    local player = part.Parent
    local humanoid = player.Humanoid
    humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
    script.Parent.CanTouch = false
    wait(1)
    script.Parent.CanTouch = true
end)

Good idea, could be advanced for beginners
@OP, read more about Region3 here.

Okay here im pretty sure this is what you wanted you can also read more about region3 on the roblox wiki like @THECOOLGENERATOR said

local DamageTime = 1 -- amount of time until next check
local DamageAmount = 5 -- how much damage per check
local Part = script.Parent -- the part


local function GivePlayersInArea()
	local region = Region3.new(Part.CFrame.p-Part.Size/2,Part.CFrame.p+Part.Size/2)
	local parts = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(region,nil,math.huge) -- gives all the part in the region3 i picked math.huge so that means we can have no limit on how many parts can be in the region
	local tab = {}
	for i,v in pairs(parts) do
		if v.Parent then
			if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(v.Parent) and not table.find(tab,v.Parent) then
				table.insert(tab,v.Parent) -- puts the players character inside the table
			end
		end
	end
	return tab
end

while wait(DamageTime) do
	for i ,v in pairs(GivePlayersInArea()) do
		v.Humanoid:TakeDamage(DamageAmount) -- takes damage
	end
end
