local speedBoost = script.Parent

local function onTouch(otherPart)
    local char = otherPart.Parent
    local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

        hum.WalkSpeed += 10
        wait(5)

end

Search on google

hum.WalkSpeed = 26
task.wait(5)
hum.WalkSpeed = 16

#

But that's a bad solution
