How do I make a Checkpoint that Changes Color after you touch it?

I’m making a checkpoint that whenever you touch it, it changes the color to green then back to black. I want it to do this for every new checkpoint block the player touches.

I put a Server Script inside of a part in the workspace property that has a touched connect function, and it acts as a checkpoint for the player. The only problem is that the checkpoint part color changes the first time you touch a checkpoint, but when you touch a new checkpoint it doesn’t work.

Here’s the code:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local checkpoint = script.Parent

function onTouched(hit)
	if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
		local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		local checkpointData = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("CheckpointData")
		if not checkpointData then
			checkpointData = Instance.new("Folder")
			checkpointData.Name = "CheckpointData"
			checkpointData.Parent = ServerStorage
		end
		
		local userIdString = tostring(player.UserId)
		local checkpointValue = checkpointData:FindFirstChild(userIdString)
		
		if not checkpointValue then
			checkpointValue = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
			checkpointValue.Name = userIdString
			checkpointValue.Parent = checkpointData
			
			player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
				task.wait()
				local storedCheckpoint = ServerStorage.CheckpointData[userIdString].Value
				character:MoveTo(storedCheckpoint.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(-4, 4), 4, math.random(-4, 4)))
			end)
			
			if checkpointValue.Value ~= checkpoint then
				checkpoint.Jingle:Play()
				checkpoint.Color = Color3.new(0, 1, 0)

				task.delay(1, function()
					checkpoint.Color = Color3.new(0.0666667, 0.0666667, 0.0666667)
				end)
			end
		end
		checkpointValue.Value = checkpoint
	end
end

checkpoint.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

It’s probably because you added a mechanism for not making the checkpoint do anything after touching it again. Try calling the color change outside the mechanism to see if it works
