12    missile.Position = spawnpos
13    missile.Size = Vector3.new(4,4,4)
14    missile.Velocity = b * 10
15    missile.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1004)
16    missile.Shape = 0
17    missile.BottomSurface = 0

:playerfromcharacter isn't a function. also, onMouseButton1Click isn't a built-in-function either. JesseSong 3916 — 3y

Also, Connect should be :Connect not .Connect JesseSong 3916 — 3y

You have to use UserInputService. Try this:

01local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
02 
03local function ball(input, gameProcessedEvent)
04    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not gameProcessedEvent then
05        local Tool = script.Parent
06        local boi = Tool.Parent
07        local girl = game.Players:playerfromcharacter(boi)
08 
09        local missile = Instance.new("Part")
10 
11 
12        local spawnpos = boi.PrimaryPart.Position
13        spawnpos = spawnpos + (b * 10)
14        missile.Position = spawnpos
15        missile.Size = Vector3.new(4,4,4)
16        missile.Velocity = b * 10
17        missile.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1004)
18        missile.Shape = 0
19        missile.BottomSurface = 0
20        missile.TopSurface = 0
21        missile.Name = "missile"
22        missile.Reflectance = 0
23 
24 
25        local force = Instance.new("BodyForce")
26        force.force = Vector3.new(0,98,0)
27        force.Parent = missile
28 
29        local creatortag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
30        creatortag.Value = girl
31        creatortag.Name = "creator"
32        creatortag.Parent = missile
33 
34        missile.Parent = game.Workspace 
35      end
36end
37 
38UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(ball)

The if statement checks if the input is a MouseClick and if the player isn't in chat. Make sure it's a LocalScript. If you want to make the ball appear for the server, use a RemoteEvent.

really easy

1tool = script.Parent
2mouse = player:GetMouse
3 
4--function for the ball
5 
6tool.Activated:Connect(ball(b))

You forgot the "()" t the end of "GetMouse" and you called the function while connecting it to a RBXScriptSignal. youtubemasterWOW 2741 — 4y

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, OnMouseButton1Click is not a valid built-in function from ROBLOX. This will return nil.
Secondly, Connect should be :Connect NOT .Connect
Thirdly, playerfromcharacter is not a function. I believe you meant :GetPlayersFromCharacter.

NOTE: When connecting to a custom function, you need to connect it to that function or else it wouldn't actually fire. (Put Line 1 in the last line of your script, with the improvements I mentioned above).

(Keep in mind, that MouseButton1Click can only fire once the event is called from a GUIObject, so things like Frames, ImageLabels wouldn't work!)

Unlike @youtubemasterwow's answer, it doesn't matter if you use UserinputService for this case since it will still run!

Fixed Script:

01local function ball(b)
02    local Tool = script.Parent
03    local boi = Tool.Parent
04    local girl = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(boi)
05 
06    local missile = Instance.new("Part")
07 
08 
09    local spawnpos = boi.PrimaryPart.Position
10    spawnpos = spawnpos + (b * 10)
11    missile.Position = spawnpos
12    missile.Size = Vector3.new(4,4,4)
13    missile.Velocity = b * 10
14    missile.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1004)
15    missile.Shape = 0
16    missile.BottomSurface = 0
17    missile.TopSurface = 0
18    missile.Name = "missile"
19    missile.Reflectance = 0
20 
21 
22    local force = Instance.new("BodyForce")
23    force.force = Vector3.new(0,98,0)
24    force.Parent = missile

26    local creatortag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
27    creatortag.Value = girl
28    creatortag.Name = "creator"
29    creatortag.Parent = missile
