How can I have mouse.Target work on my own character?

I’ve made medkit system so if you hold left click on a player it heals them until you release the button or they reach max health. This only works on other players/humanoids but not my own character.

The system uses mouse.Target to detect if there is a player

while task.wait(.1) do
	if equipped then


		if mouse.Target then
			if mouse.Target.Parent then
				if mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then

					target = mouse.Target.Parent

					if (plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude < 20 then
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

Any help is appreciated.

I didn’t see the code where it heals the character. Also, why not use UserInputService to do this?

Unfortunately due to the way characters work, Mouse.Hit and Mouse.Target inherently ignore limbs. You could get around this by raycasting from the mouse position using Camera:ScreenPointToRay and UserInputService:GetMouseLocation to get the appropriate ray at the mouse position in 3D space.

Mouse.Target cannot detect player parts

Yep here is an example function which uses it:

Weld an invisible massless part to your character that has no coliision and covers the character entirely. Part should be in a folder in workspace and not your character so it won’t be ignored.
I think for percision I would use this method for other characters as well since it’s hard to click on mobile.
