Check if a part touched is a Part and not a player?
In my puzzle game, I am making a part which detects if another part touches it, which then opens a door.
It works well, but the door opens when anything touches it.
How can I make it tell what kind of thing it touched, i.e knowing that it touched a Part or a Humanoid, etc. etc.
Thanks for the help!

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
-- its a part from a character
else
-- its a normal part
end
end)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) == nil and game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name) == nil then -- Making sure the part isn't a descendant of a player
print("Is a part")
else
print("Is a player")
end
end)
What this does is checks the "Players" for any player named the user's name. This won't work if the part is named a player in game, so I would suggest using special characters like "|" in the name to make sure it works.
