I’m trying to make a system where you merge things together and it deletes the models and spawns in the next but when Im doing the touched event its only detecting the characters body parts

local model = game.Workspace.boat1
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

model.PrimaryPart = model["Meshes/boat1_Cube"]
local isDragging = false
local highlight = nil


local MergeEvent = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("MergeEvent")
if not MergeEvent then
	MergeEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
	MergeEvent.Name = "MergeEvent"
	MergeEvent.Parent = game.Workspace
end

local function onInput(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
		local hit = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Target
		if hit and hit:IsDescendantOf(model) then
			if not highlight then
				highlight = game.ReplicatedStorage.MergingSystemMain.Highlight:Clone()
				highlight.Parent = model
			end
		else
			if highlight then
				highlight:Destroy()
				highlight = nil
			end
		end

		if isDragging then
			local mousePosition = input.Position
			local ray = camera:ScreenPointToRay(mousePosition.X, mousePosition.Y)
			local worldPosition = ray.Origin + ray.Direction * ((-0.9 * ray.Origin.Y) / ray.Direction.Y)
			model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(worldPosition))
		end
	end
end

local function onInputEnded(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		isDragging = false
	end
end

local function onInputBegan(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		local mouseHit = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
		local hitPart = mouseHit.Target
		if hitPart and hitPart:IsDescendantOf(model) then
			isDragging = true
			UserInputService.InputChanged:Connect(onInput)
			UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(onInputEnded)
		end
	end
end

model.PrimaryPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	print(hit.Name)


	if hit.Parent and hit.Parent.Name == model.Name then
		MergeEvent:FireServer(hit.Parent, model)
	end
end)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onInputBegan)

Have you used hit.Parent? It’s gonna report the part, not the Parent of the part

All that returns is the player because the issue is its only printing the players parts. So that wouldnt matter.

So what’s the problem? I don’t quite understand

The only thing it is printing is the players body parts, it should be printing other parts in workspace but its only printing things related to the player.
