You can use the .Target property of Mouse. For conventional use, apply a .Move signal to perpetually keep track of what the Cursor is hovering over.
1 | local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer |
2 | local Cursor = Player:GetMouse() |
3 |
4 | Cursor.Move:Connect(function() |
5 | local Target = Cursor.Target |
6 | if (Target ~= nil) then |
7 | print(Target.Name) |
8 | end |
9 | end) |

I believe using ClickDetector.MouseHoverEnter will solve your problem, and you could use it in your script like this:
01 | local part = game.workspace.Part --the part you want the mouse to hover over (if it’s in a different place or has another name just change that) |
02 |
03 | local ClickDetector = Instance.new("ClickDetector") --makes a click detector |
04 | ClickDetector.Parent = part --the parent of the click detector (set this to your part name) |
05 | ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 10 --the distance of studs that this script can work from |
06 | ClickDetector.CursorIcon = “ImageId” --this is optional, if you want the mouse/cursor to change then you can put whatever ID in there. (If you don’t want it just delete it) |
07 |
08 | ClickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function() |
09 | part.Transparency = .5 --this is just an example of what will happen when someone hovers, change this to whatever you want to happen when the player hovers over it |
10 | end) |
