Check if part is touching players legs in if statement

#1

Hello, read the title & the way I tried to do this was:

local function touchingLegs(parts)
	print(parts)
	if(parts) then
		for i, part in ipairs(parts) do
			if(part.Name == "Left Leg" or part.Name == "Right Leg") then
				return true
			else
				return false
			end
		end
	end
end

if(not touchingLegs(itemRayResult.Instance:GetTouchingParts()))
--do something
end

but it won’t get no collision parts and legs don’t have collisions so it doesn’t work.

if(not touchingLegs(itemRayResult.Instance:GetTouchingParts()))
--do something
end

The if statement is in a input began event.

Touched works on Parts that have CanCollide false as long as the CanTouch Property is true.

What fires the touchingLegs function in the rest of your code?

#3 
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	if(not gameProcessedEvent) then
		if(input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1) then
			local itemRayResult = rayResult(userInputService:GetMouseLocation().X,
				userInputService:GetMouseLocation().Y)
			if(itemRayResult) then
				if(itemRayResult.Instance:FindFirstChild("GrabId")) then
					if(not touchingLegs(itemRayResult.Instance:GetTouchingParts())) then
						grabId = itemRayResult.Instance.GrabId
						game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvents.Grab:FireServer(grabId, true, itemRayResult.Position)
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

Use workspace:GetPartsInPart(itemRayResult.Instance) instead of using GetTouchingParts

workspace:GetPartsInParts is able to detect parts that have CanCollide set to false by default, although you’ll need to pass an OverlapParams with BruteForceAllSlow set to true as a second argument to GetPartsInParts if the parts you’re trying to detect also have CanQuery set to false

On another note, for R15 characters the leg parts are called: LeftFoot, LeftLowerLeg, LeftUpperLeg, RightFoot, RightLowerLeg, RightUpperLeg, if you wish to detect them as well
