Touch Event behaves strangely on the client

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So basically the touch event fires every frame as long as I am within the part with the TouchInterest.
I want to know the explanation for this behaviour

My code: -LocalScript-

local function isPlayer(Hit)
	local Character = Hit.Parent
	if Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character) == Player and Hit.Name == "Head" then
		return true
	end
end

Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if isPlayer(Hit) then
        print("true")
	end
end)

try this instead:
if it works, i’d appreciate a solution :slight_smile:

local function isPlayer(Hit)
    local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	if Hit:IsDescendantOf(Character) then
		return true
	end
end

Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if isPlayer(Hit) then
        print("true")
	end
end)

You can add a debounce for triggering the .Touched event such that:

local function isPlayer(Hit)
	local Character = Hit.Parent
	if Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character) == Player and Hit.Name == "Head" then
		return true
	end
end
local debounce = false
Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
    if debounce then return end
    debounce = true
	if isPlayer(Hit) then
        print("true")
	end
    task.wait(3) --Change the number to however much you want
    debounce = false
end)

In my use case this does not work, as I will be using a TouchEnded also

I know a lot of other ways to accomplish what I want, but that is not why I am here. I want to know WHY it fires every single frame aslong as I am within the part. This behaviour has never happend before when using touch events on the server.

Does the same thing as my code above. I am not really looking for a way to fix it. What I want to know is why the constant firing is happening
