Treadmill Bug (Explained in Post)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, Im currently trying to make a simple Treadmill System where every 5 seconds on the treadmill, the players WalkSpeed increases by 0.02 (Currently 1 to see the speed change). Currently, my script is having a issue where it waits 5 seconds and then it gives the player the speed, HOWEVER, it starts giving the player +1 WalkSpeed Rapidly even Off the treadmill.

Script:

local part = script.Parent

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
while task.wait(5) do
	
	local character = hit.Parent
	if character then
		local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		    if humanoid then
			    humanoid.WalkSpeed += 1
		end
	end
  end
end)

If you have a solution, please tell me, I’d love to know how to fix it!

You need to add debounce to prevent the .Touched event from firing multiple times in a row.

Also, I believe there is something like a .TouchEnded event, which you can implement to check when tje player is not touching the part anymore.

#3 
local part = script.Parent

local debounceCharacters = {}
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local character = hit.Parent
	if character then
		local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		    if humanoid then
if debounceCharacters[character] then return end
debounceCharacters[character] = true
			    humanoid.WalkSpeed += 1
task.delay(5, function() debounceCharacters = false end)
		end
	end
end)

Your script is outputting an error.

Script:9: attempt to index boolean with Instance

Apologies for the oversight.

local part = script.Parent

local debounceCharacters = {}
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local character = hit.Parent
	if character then
		local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		    if humanoid then
if debounceCharacters[character] then return end
debounceCharacters[character] = true
			    humanoid.WalkSpeed += 1
task.delay(5, function() debounceCharacters[character] = false end)
		end
	end
end)

this works as intended, but is their a way to make it so it resets when the player goes off of the part? If not then ill label this script as the solution
