So I want to get the part name of the part that the player touched.
I tried it but instead it print character parts name instead of the part name

Here is the script:

local function Touched(Part)
	print(Part.Name)
	-- prints 
    -- Character Parts like Right Foot instead of a part name
end

Part.Touched:Connect(Touched)

Output:

Part is a variable for the part you want to touch. In the function, Part is replaced by a parameter. Try changing the name of the parameter

local function Touched(otherPart)

or

local function Touched(part) -- lowercase p

or any name you want except “Part” (capital P)

#3

it still prints the character parts instead of the part name that player touched.

#4

You have 2 variables named Part, they’re interferring with each other. Try changing the Touched functions parameter to Hit instead.

local function Touched(Hit)
	print(Part.Name) --prints the part touched
	print(Hit.Name) --prints the character part touched
end

Part.Touched:Connect(Touched)
#5

I have multiple parts I’m using for i,v.

#6

That doesn’t really affect anything, unless v is the part you’re using .Touched on, then you just print v.Name instead.

#7

so the function will be inside for i,v?

#8

If you’re using the for loop to make multiple parts be able to be touched, then yes.

Parts would be the parent of all your parts

for i,v in Parts:GetChildren()
    v.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
        print(v.Name)
    end
end
