local playerService = game:GetService("Players")
local button = script.Parent.redbutton

local function onHumanoidTouched(humanoid)
	
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(humanoid.Parent)
	
	if player then
		
		local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
		
		if leaderstats then
			local cash = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Cash")
			
			if cash then
				local pass2x = player.ButtonsFolder.Cash2x.Value
				local pass3x = player.ButtonsFolder.Cash3x.Value
				local pass5x = player.ButtonsFolder.Cash5x.Value
				if humanoid:IsDescendantOf(button) then 
					print("true")
				else
					print("false")
				end
				while humanoid:IsDescendantOf(button) do
					print("done5")
					cash.Value = cash.Value + 1 -- add $1 continuously
					wait(1)
				end
			end

button.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	
	if humanoid then

IsDescendantOf returns true if the instance is a child or ancestor of the instance in the argument, i would recommend using .Touched and .TouchEnded combined to do what you want

IsDescendantOf isn’t activated. It hasn’t been activated for a while now. Therefore, it’s useless. To find the descendant of an object, you can use the second parameter of FindFirstChild.

myPart = workspace:FindFirstChild("Part", true)

hey, can you tell how would it worked out because I don’t think it would work because I want to find the player not the part?
