so i made a script that adds person into a table if he touches a part, but how do i make it so, it removes him from a table if he stops touching a part?

local TouchBrick = script.Parent
local PlayersToTeleport = {}

local function addPlayerToTable(TouchedPart)
	if TouchedPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local Character = TouchedPart.Parent
		local blueTP = workspace.BlueTeleporter
		local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
		local AlreadyInTable = false
		for _,OtherPlayer in next,PlayersToTeleport do
			if OtherPlayer == Player then
				AlreadyInTable = true
			end
		end
		if not AlreadyInTable then
			table.insert(PlayersToTeleport,Player)
			wait(5) -- remove it later
			local blue = PlayersToTeleport[math.random(1, #PlayersToTeleport)]
			blue.Character:MoveTo(blueTP.Position)
		end
	end
end


TouchBrick.Touched:Connect(addPlayerToTable)

Use the TouchEnded signal, which all BaseParts can use.

And to remove I would use table.remove(PlayersToTeleport,table.find(PlayersToTeleport,Player))

Assuming you want to remove player from table if he stops touching a part for more than 5 seconds, you can do it something like this:
local TouchBrick = script.Parent
local PlayersToTeleport = {}

local function addPlayerToTable(TouchedPart)
if TouchedPart.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
local Character = TouchedPart.Parent
local blueTP = workspace.BlueTeleporter
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
local AlreadyInTable = false
for _,OtherPlayer in next,PlayersToTeleport do
if OtherPlayer == Player then
AlreadyInTable = true
end
end
if not AlreadyInTable then
table.insert(PlayersToTeleport,Player)
wait(5)
local blue = PlayersToTeleport[math.random(1, #PlayersToTeleport)]
blue.Character:MoveTo(blueTP.Position)
end
end
end

TouchBrick.Touched:Connect(addPlayerToTable)

local function onPartTouchEnd(partTouchEnd)
local TouchedPlayer = partTouchEnd.Parent
local TouchedPlayerName = TouchedPlayer.Name
for i,v in pairs(PlayersToTeleport) do
if TouchedPlayerName == v.Name then
for j = i, #PlayersToTeleport do
PlayersToTeleport[j] = PlayersToTeleport[j+1]
end
PlayersToTeleport[#PlayersToTeleport] = nil
break
end
end
end

TouchBrick.TouchedEnd:connect(onPartTouchEnd)
