How can I make BasePart.Touched(Hit) ignore a player?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to made a beam that stops when it collides with a part, but i want it to keep going if it touches a player, I’ve tried doing,

if not Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then

    print("Did not hit player")

end

That inside of the Touched function of course, but that does’t seem to work.
Any suggestions??

That will just ignore NPCs too.

Roblox has a function named, game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter()
Put this inside the touched function.

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) -- gets a player from their character
if player then -- YOU FOUND A PLAYER!
    print("Got player.")
    -- rest of code.
else
    print("Did not hit player.")
    return -- stops the code.
end

    --rest of the code
end

Of course, you can check if it’s not a player straight away.
