every time it repeats the collision trigger, It duplicates entities that should instantly despawn.

Run a variable check by setting a global variable to 0 for default value, then when you touch the entity if get variable (VariableName) is = 0 run your procedure then set the variable to = 1 so the loop stops. if you want the loop to reset then choose a trigger for example when entity spawns, if entity is subtype of  = YourEntity) you can set the variable (VariableName) to = 0.

you could set a local variable named "collided", then whenever you check for collision, it would first check if the variable is true or false ; if false -> do your interaction code and set the variable to true , and if it's true, do nothing
You could even set a timer variable to reset the collided variable if you want to be able to collide with it every X time !
