Detecting Player's Starter Character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey there!
I’m trying to make a script that detects if a player has a certain starter character, since my game has 3 different choices. When the player touches a part, it looks for the starter character, and if it is a certain one, it does no damage to the player, otherwise it does do damage. However, I haven’t gotten it to work, and would appreciate some help!

My script:

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
	if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if part.Parent:FindFirstChild == "StarterCharacter" or "StarterCharacter3" then
			print("heh")
		else
			wait()
			part.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
		end
	end
end)

Store the character that is given to a player in a modulescript’s table and do something like

if moduleTable[part.Parent.Name] == 'fireproof' then
     print("Player is fire character!")
else
      part.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
end
