I just don't realize why this is not working... i have a part and i have another part with this script but it seems to not work...

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(ThisPart) -- first part
    if ThisPart.Parent.Name == "Item" then
        print("Part touch another part")
    else
        print(ThisPart.Parent.Name)
    end
end)

But it always prints the players name

Not enough detail to answer the question. The problem doesn't have to do with the script, I find, so the issue doesn't seem to be directly a scripting issue. You're probably just missing some logic here. Not enough information to answer. CootKitty 311 — 7y

It keeps printing the players name for only 1 reason. You're putting "ThisPart.Parent.Name". The parameter of this function gives you the part that touched the part. The parent of ThisPart is the actual player. ThisPart's parent would be the player. Get rid of the parent when printing when you printed.

The actual solution if someone stumbles across this trash:

parts gotta be unanchored or you gotta use gettouchingparts or you can use this trashy code i made:

local GetTouched = {}
local function GetTouchingParts(part,func)
    print('checked')
    local connection = part.Touched:Connect(function() end)
    local results = part:GetTouchingParts()
    connection:Disconnect()
    return results
end
local TouchedList = {}
TouchedList.__index = TouchedList
function GetTouched.new(part,func)
    print('set')
    local returned = setmetatable(GetTouched,TouchedList)
    part:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Position"):Connect(function()
        if #GetTouchingParts(part) == 0 then else
            returned = GetTouchingParts(part)
            TouchedList[part] = returned
        end
    end)
    part:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Size"):Connect(function()
        if #GetTouchingParts(part) == 0 then else
            returned = GetTouchingParts(part)
            TouchedList[part] = returned
        end
    end)
    local meta = setmetatable(TouchedList,{
        __index = GetTouched,
        __newindex = function(a,b,c)
            func()
        end
    })
end

GetTouched.new(script.Parent, function()
    print('hello')
end)
