Why will this sword not detect when it is being touched?

I am scripting a sword and trying to make it function. One of the obvious functions is that a player will take damage when touched by the sword. I have a local script inside the handle of tool and it is supposed to detect when it is touched, it isn't.

Script:

1script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
2    if hit.Parent == not game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then
3        print("hit")
4        game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.TakeDamage:FireServer(hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"), 20)
5    end
6end)

This was an idiotic problem. I solved it by changing it like this:

1-- old code
2if hit.Parent == not game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then
3 
4-- new code
5if hit.Parent ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then
