I need some idea about touch

So I’m trying to make dialogue which appears on your screen and stops the player from moving when you touch a part. Thing is, in my previous tests, .Touched is really bad cause it fires a lot of times when you step on it. Also I want the dialogue to appear, then once you finish reading it, you move away. The problem with .Touched is when you move away, it fires again cause you’re touching it. How am I supposed to do this??
(I have no code, I was just thinking about this)

Typically, you flip a boolean value to true and reset it to true after some amount of time. In the function connected to your Touched event, you’d have an if statement checking if that value is false. If it isn’t, it won’t execute the rest of the code (in this case, dialogue). I believe this is called debouncing and looks a bit like this:

local part = part -- The part being touched
local isDebouncing = false

part.Touched:Connect(function()

    if not isDebouncing then

        -- Execute dialogue code here

        isDebouncing = true
        task.wait(5)
        isDebouncing = false
    end
end)

You could also disconnect the .touched function if the DB is true.
