Part.Touched:Connect(function(Object)
    if Object.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        print("Character Detected")
    end
end)

or are you referring to something like game.Players.LocalPlayer?

How to Get Player Through Touched Event: The Tutorial


When a .Touched event fires, check if the touched object’s parent is a model and that it has a humanoid. Then, you should use Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(), inserting the character model into the argument in order to obtain player.

If it’s an NPC, it usually returns nil. Make sure to use an if statement for that.

Example


local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TouchPart = workspace["Part"] -- assign a part to it

TouchPart.Touched:Connect(function(touched)
    if touched.Parent:IsA("Model") and touched.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touched.Parent)
        if Player then
            -- do something here
        end
    end
end)
