Guys is it good if i put part.Touched() in a while loop, here is an example:

local Part = workspace.Part
while wait() do
    Part.Frame.Text.Text = Part.RandomValue.Value
    Part.Touched:Connect(function(PartTouched)
        print(PartTouched)
        Part.RandomValue.Value = "a random string here"
    end)
end

the only reason i want to ask this question is that i want to keep the text from updating but i feel like the touched function will be inefficient or not secure or something

the while loop is unnedded if you want it to only update when the part is touched. it will always happen if you call .Touched:Connect(function) regardless if its inside a loop or no

i know is unneeded for that example but for me i have a for loop that runs through all of my parts.
if i dont put it in a for loop then it wont get the part, but if i dont put the for loop in the while loop the text wont update

#4

i might make 2 for loops in my case so the touched event wont get effected by the while loop

inside a for loop the text will still update when each part is touched no need for the while loop

#6

no i want the text to update when the part is NOT touched (and touched but i can put it in the touched event so no problem here)

I believe that could result in stuff like memory leaks since you create a whole new listener each time it loops.

you could make a sepereate while loop and a for loop containing the touch event outside the while loop to avoid connections every wait()
