You should get the parent rather than… actually I’m not sure what that is you tried doing.

You can’t compare string to array you should use for loop.

Instead of doing

if mouse.Target.Name == PartsFolder:GetChildren().Name then

You should do:

for i, v in pairs(PartsFolder:GetChildren()) do
    if mouse.Target.Parent == v.Parent then -- Parent would be better. You never know
                                         --when something might have the same name.
          -- do what you want to do here
    end 
end

If this hasn’t worked, try printing out Mouse.Targert.Name

Use this instead:

local function isValidPart()
    for _, child in pairs(PartsFolder:GetChildren()) do
        if mouse.Target.Name == child.Name then
            return true
        end
    end

    return false
end

if isValidPart() then
    --do stuff
end

if Mouse.Target then -- Check if the Target Actually Exists
   if Mouse.Target:IsDecendantOf(PartsFolder) then
      -- The Part is inside the folder and was clicked
      -- do what you want to do with the part
   end
end
