How to check if a player is touching a part

I want to run a code if the player is touching a certain part but it just doesn’t work the way I want it to.
I do not want to run the code after the player touches it. I want to run it while the player is touching. That’s what I’m trying to achieve. My code:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local HatchEggEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EggEvents").HatchEggEvent

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local hatchKey = "E"
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer


game.Workspace.HitBox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[hatchKey] then
				HatchEggEvent:FireServer()
				print("Fired!")
			end
		end)
	end
end)

When I run through the part and come outside the part, and then click ‘e’ it prints “Fired!” I also know why this is happening but I do not know to solve this. Is there any way to check if the player is currently touching a part? Thanks.

You are connecting an inputended event ever single time hitbox.Touched is fired

The UIS event has to be outside any touched event.

Also since you are trying to get when the player is in an area you should use FindPartsInRegion3 or something

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local HatchEggEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EggEvents").HatchEggEvent

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local hatchKey = "E"
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

game.Workspace.HitBox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[hatchKey] and (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - Hatcher.Position).magnitude < distance then
				HatchEggEvent:FireServer()
				print("Fired!")
			end
		end)
	end
end)

I defined the variables you gave but nothing happens when I click ‘e’

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local HatchEggEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EggEvents").HatchEggEvent

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local hatchKey = "E"
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Hatcher = game.Workspace.Egg
local Distance = 10


game.Workspace.HitBox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[hatchKey] and (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position  - Hatcher.Position).magnitude > Distance then
				HatchEggEvent:FireServer()
				print("Fired!")
			end
		end)
	end
end)

less than
(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - Hatcher.Position).magnitude < Distance

It still doesn’t work. There’s no output at all.

Is the hatcher a model?_______

No, it’s part.

It’s located in StarterPlayerScripts.

try putting it in the startercharacterscripts

Still nothing. ____________________________

I don’t think you can use touch function in a localscript

15

So I just check the distance without the touched function?

Try ZonePlus. This works for me.
