Or doesn’t work, it prints “Head”, but “UpperTorso” doesn’t print

-- Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	if Mouse.Target.Name == "UpperTorso" or Mouse.Target.Name == "Head" then
		local Char =Mouse.Target
		print(Char)
	end
end)

Do you use R15 characters or R6 characters? Does your test target wear any big body accessories?

I would recommend checking if Target.Parent got humanoid instead

if Mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
	local char = Mouse.Target.Parent
	local plr = game:GetService('Players'):GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
end

@R0mAAn1CH said it already, the accessories are stopping the raycast.

If you are looking for UpperTorso or Head specifically, a neat solution is disabling CanQuery property on character’s accessories.

Server

(Also possible on client - local script in StarterPlayerScripts. That would require a connection for each player, and initial update for all existing characters.)

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(character)
		for _,object in ipairs(character:GetChildren()) do
			if not object:IsA("Accessory") then continue; end
			for _,part in ipairs(object:GetDescendants()) do
				if not part:IsA("BasePart") then continue; end
				part.CanQuery = false
			end
		end
	end)
end)

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local target = nil

UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if gameProcessed then return; end
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
		if not mouse.Target or mouse.Target == target then return; end
		target = mouse.Target
		
		if target.Name == "UpperTorso" or target.Name == "Head" then
			print(target.Name)
		end
	end
end)

Works like a charm. A small caveat: mouse.Target can be nil, and mouse automatically ignores your own character. To detect your character (too), camera:ScreenPointToRay() and your own raycast is required. Same applies if you don’t want to use the CanQuery solution. There are plenty of posts regarding this approach around the Dev Forum.

Technically, the following works well too, but has certain limitations that manual raycasting doesn’t, especially one in particular: filter. This won’t comply well with other scripts relying on mouse.Target.

Local script 
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local target = nil

UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if gameProcessed then return; end
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
		if not mouse.Target or mouse.Target == target then return; end
		target = mouse.Target
		
		local accessoryAncestor = target:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Accessory")
		
		if accessoryAncestor then
			mouse.TargetFilter = accessoryAncestor
		end
		
		if target.Name == "UpperTorso" or target.Name == "Head" then
			print(target.Name)
		end
	end
end)

Does it hit HumanoidRootPart instead of UpperTorso
You can fix it by manually RayCasting with the filter

RP.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Character.Head, Character.UpperTorso}

This also omits needing to check for the name
Take note that you need to change the FilterDescendantsInstances everytime the character responds

Im pretty sure it’s “Upper Torso” and not “UpperTorso”
