Problem with the dectecting of the player when the button is touched

Hello Everyone! I am A beginner in scripting or noob in scripting, So I got a Problem!
before I tell you, let’s see the main parts for this incident:

  1. button 1:
    generates around 1$ per touch.

so, I want that when a player touches the button, he would get 1$ per touch Forever! (until he steps out) but here is the problem when the player touches the part for example if I touch it rather than getting 1$ continuously, I get 1$ for continuously for around 3-4 second and then it Justs Stops! yeah so just imagine if a player wants to AFK on the button but he can’t so that is the problem.

Can you resolve this issue? because I tried so many times but it didn’t work out!
:frowning:

here is the script!

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

local bounce = false
local function ontouched(hit)
	if bounce then return end
	bounce = true
	local character = hit.Parent
	local player = playerService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

	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

				cash.Value = cash.Value + 10 
				print(cash.Value)
				
			end
		end
	end
	wait(0.1)
	bounce = false
end



button.Touched:Connect(function(playertouch)
	ontouched(playertouch)
end)

Thank you for seeing my post!!

you’re using a bounce variable to prevent multiple touches in quick succession, but this approach is causing the button to stop giving cash after a short delay.

to make the button continuously give cash as long as the player is touching it, you should use a different approach. You can use a while loop to keep adding cash while the player is touching the button, and use the Humanoid.Touched event instead of Touched to detect the player’s touch.

try using this method:

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

                while humanoid:IsDescendantOf(button) do
                    cash.Value = cash.Value + 1 -- add $1 continuously
                    wait(1)
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

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

You can try to use a while true do loop and just add the value and add a wait after

You can loop ‘give money’ to a player until they leave the button.

local isTouching = false

local function loopGive()
       while isTouching do
              --Give money
       end
end

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
       isTouching = true
       loopGive()
end)
part.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
       isTouching = false
end)

Hey you did not understand. everything is working properly but when the player is stepping on the button it should give them money but when they step on it and after stepping on it just 2-3 seconds it stops even thought there are above the button.

the script you showed is when a player steps on the button he gets money and when left he does not gets any money!

You can add a invisible noncollidable part above the button. I’ve made buttons before, and my issue was the animation so I had to add an extra part just above the button.
This is a good example I found:
