There are two solutions to this.
But first, we must address the problem at hand. You are getting this error because you are trying to use a mouse that is no longer active. This happens when you get the mouse as a parameter of the Equipped method of any Tool object.
The first solution would be to just get the mouse from the GetMouse method of the local player.
local players = game:GetSerivce("Players")
local localPlayer = players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = localPlayer:GetMouse()
The second solution would be to update the mouse every time the tool is equipped.
local mouse
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(givenMouse)
mouse = givenMouse
end)

Are you getting the mouse as a parameter of a method of a tool, by any chance?
yes i am why??? ????
oop sorry for 8 question marks
so i put it in a local script and i did player:get mouse all of that stuff but i didn't use it before because when ever i use it, for some reason when i create a var called barrel it says that it is not in the tool i did script.parent.parent.barrel and it says it doesn't work it is so simple that i don't know how it is not working
