but if he touched the part he exist no?
other parts can touch it without a humanoid too
Why do you even create a post for a question like this? Just check what touched event and if statement is

Or you can do if humanoid then
same thing basically
We do that to make sure what the part is touching is actually a character, with a Humanoid. If we don’t, it can result in errors and subsequently break the script.
Let’s say you load in a map. There is a permanent kill brick on the map that relies on the .Touched signal. When you load in the new map, the .Touched signal would fire for any loaded part that touches the kill brick. If we attempted to kill the map part, it would throw an error and break the script.
This is why humanoid checking is absolutely essential when dealing with .Touched signals.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
