I did a bit of testing, and I came up with the following code. I use the ".Move" event instead of ".Changed" because it seems to work better, and it checks if the part the mouse is pointing at an object. If so, it checks the part's name, and if the part's name is "Target" it prints "NewTarget".
01 | local mouse = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:GetMouse() |
02 |
03 | mouse.Move:Connect(function(x) |
04 | if mouse.Target then |
05 | if mouse.Target.Name == "Target" then |
06 | repeat |
07 | print("NewTarget") |
08 | wait() |
09 | until mouse.Target.Name ~= "Target" |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end) |
if this helped, don't forget to accept this answer :D

Local Script
1 | local mouse = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:GetMouse() |
2 |
3 | mouse.Move:Connect(function() |
4 | if mouse.Target and mouse.Target.Name == "Target" then |
5 | print("NewTarget") |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
connect is considered deprecated (even though it sometimes works) use Connect instead
There are no parameters for the mouse.Move event
While the Changed event is valid for the Mouse, it will not work for this script, which is why we use the mouse.Move event instead.
Check that "mouse.Target" is not nil before using the function (this occurs when pointing it at the sky) otherwise, it will error and break.
EDIT
Based on your above comment, you could try adding this additional function
1 | workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(function() |
2 | if mouse.Target and mouse.Target.Name == "Target" then |
3 | print("NewTarget") |
4 | end |
5 | end) |
The ChildAdded event should be able to check if the part is different, unless of course the part was already in the workspace?
