How does mouse.target work?
If I were to to do this:
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = Player:GetMouse()
function DownClick()
print (mouse.Target.Name)
end
mouse.Button1Down:connect(DownClick)
Would it print out the name of the part you clicked?

Yes. And you could quite easily have tested that yourself in about five seconds. DataStore 530 — 8y

And also if you click on a part in a model, do you click on the model or the part? Mystdar 352 — 8y

The Target property will either return the BasePart that the mouse is hovering over or nil. Spongocardo 1991 — 8y

Yes, this will work.
mouse.Target will be the part (not model) that the mouse is hovering over, or nil if the mouse is not hovering over any part (e.g., you click in the sky).
The "or nil" part is very important to remember. The script you have will break if you click in the sky. Always check that mouse.Target exists:
if mouse.Target then
print(mouse.Target.Name)
else
print("Sky!")
end
