Hello, I am having issues with my code where a player touches it too much, any way to make it be touched only once? Thanks!

Mk this is quite easy, either you could make an inf debounce or, you could make a loop that checks if the event “has” been fired:
debounce example

local debounce = false
-- touch function()
if db = false then
db = true
-- fire function()

hope this helps.

Make a debounce, a debounce stops from it being touched that much and you can add a wait period as well

local debounce = true
local cooldown = 1

script.Parent:Touched(function(hit)
       if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and debounce == true then
       debounce = false
       -- Code Here
       -- wait(cooldown) -- Optional Cooldown
       debounce = true
end)

This is a little less popular, but depending on your use, you could also do something like this

local func
func = Thing.Touched:Connect(function(TouchedBy)
func:Disconnect()
end)

Debounces are a better idea, just throwing in my own incase someone finds it useful for anything
