How do I ignore a highlight placed inside starterplayer for just my character model?

[Casonty06]

I’ve created a highlight that only highlights certain objects, in this instance it’s a rock. I parented the highlight to a highlight script and put that in the starter player, because the script is attached to a tool. Whenever I pull out the tool in game my character model also gets highlighted. How would I go about fixing this?

mouse.Idle:Connect(function()
	if equipped then-- equipped is a boolean that becomes true whenver the tool is equipped
		if not mouse.Target then
			script.Highlight.Adornee = nil
			return 
		end
		
		if ColletionService:HasTag(mouse.Target.Parent, "Level1Rock") then
			script.Highlight.Adornee = mouse.Target.Parent
			return
		end
	end
	
	script.Highlight.Adornee = nil
end)

You should check if you’re hovering anything relevant, and if so, both enable and set the adornee of the highlight, else, just disable it. I wouldn’t recommend setting the adornee to nil, since that would highlight your character model instead of the latest adornee in case of an error.

--## simplified!
Event:Connect(function()
    if Equipped and Target then
        if Target:HasTag("Rock") then
            Highlight.Enabled = true
            Highlight.Adornee = Target
        else
            Highlight.Enabled = false
        end
    else
        Highlight.Enabled = false
    end
end)

Ended up moving the script to starter player, and outside of the tool. Fixed the issue without fixing the issue. The problem was the highlight was in the tool and whenever the tool was equipped the highlight would be technically on the character highlighting the model. Tried using the enabled/disabled method but the model would still be highlighted whenever the rock was hit
