How would I see if the mouse's target is a player's torso?
When I try this script in studio:
print(game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Target.Name)
and my mouse is pointing at my torso, it prints Baseplate and won't detect my torso. Anyway to make it detect my torso and not the baseplate?
Thanks!

There's a few problems with your code and your logic, but funnily enough, that doesn't matter. mouse.Target won't detect your own character's Torso, or any of it for that matter. Perci1 4988 — 8y

mouse events and even a ClickDetector can't detect your own torso, but it sure can detect other players' torsos. One thing you could do is weld a part to the torso and store it outside of the character, then check for it separately.
i.e.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
repeat wait() until player.Character
local torso = player.Character:WaitForChild('Torso')
local t = torso:Clone()
t.Name = 'TorsoClone'
t.Transparency=1
t.CanCollide=false
local weld = Instance.new('Weld')
weld.Part0=torso
weld.Part1=t
weld.Parent=t
t.Parent=workspace
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
local target = mouse.Target
print(target.Name)
end)
