The hitbox causes player to take damage multiple times,

I’m making a combat game and the issue is when the player character touches the hitbox, while they do take damage, it causes the players to take damage every second for each limb they have when I only want them to take damage once.



		local HitParts = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(Hitbox.CFrame, Hitbox.Size, overlapParams)
		for _, part in pairs(HitParts) do
			if not CanHit then return end
			local Humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if Humanoid and not part:IsDescendantOf(Character) then
				local CombatValues = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Values")
				if CombatValues and CombatValues.Combat.Blocking.Value == false then
					-- Check if player is already stunned
					local playerName = Player.Name
					if not Stunned[playerName] then
						Stunned[playerName] = true
						
						-- Perform stun action on enemy
						local EnemyChar = Humanoid.Parent
						local EnemyHum = Humanoid
						local EnemyHumRoot = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
						local EnemyValues = EnemyChar.Values.Combat
						local EnemyStunValue = EnemyValues.Stunned

						CanHit = false

						EnemyHum:TakeDamage(BaseDamage)
						EnemyStunValue.Value = true

						local HitAnim = EnemyHum:LoadAnimation(EnHit)
						HitAnim:Play()
						delay(.5, function()
							HitAnim:Stop()
						end)

						local HitFX = HitEffect:Clone()
						HitFX.Parent = EnemyHumRoot
						HitFX:Emit(20)
						Debris:AddItem(HitFX, 1.5)

						local SoundFX = HitSound:Clone()
						SoundFX.Parent = EnemyHumRoot
						SoundFX:Play()
						Debris:AddItem(SoundFX, 1.5)

						EnemyHum.WalkSpeed = 0
						EnemyHum.JumpPower = 0

						wait(.6)
						CanHit = true
						EnemyStunValue.Value = false
						EnemyHum.WalkSpeed = 16
						EnemyHum.JumpPower = 10
					end
				end
			end
		end

		Hitbox.Parent = Ignore
		Debris:AddItem(Hitbox, .2)
		Debris:AddItem(Weld, .2)
	end
```end)
