Player presses key, if touching a certain part with a certain name then continue code, how would I do this?

--doctorbenny2011 09/04/2016 15:45GMT

istouching = false
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait(.01) until Player.Character
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Animated = false

Player.Character["Left Leg"].Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit then
        if hit.Name == "Matress" then
        istouching = true  
        elseif hit.Name ~= "Matress" then
        istouching = false
        end
    end
end)

Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
    local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
    if key == "c" then
        if istouching == true then
           game.Workspace.BasePlate.CFrame = game.Workspace.BasePlate.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,1,0)
        end
    end
end)

You might be able to use Touch and TouchEnded.

tv = 0
function pint()
    print ("touch"..tv)
    tv = tv +1
end
function upint()
    print "touch ended"
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(pint)
script.Parent.Touched:connect(upint)

something like that should work. It won't work very well, but it will work.

But this local script will be inside the PlayerGui, I'm trying to check if the player is touching a part with a specific name FROM the players PlayerGui. Nidoxs 190 — 8y

istouching = false
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait(.01) until Player.Character
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Animated = false

--UserInputFunction
Matress.Touched:connect(function(touched) --Detects when touched & define matress
    if touched.Parent.Humanoid == true then
        istouching = true   
    end
end

Matress.TouchedEnded:connect(function() -- Detects when touched ended
    istouching = false
end

Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
    local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
    if key == "c" then
        if istouching == true then
                --Code
        end
    end
end)
