I am making a thing in which the player's mouse hovers over something and I want a small GUI to go where the mouse is displaying some information. It works 100%, but I need to get the player's mouse position. Thx!

There's 2 possible answers. One preferred over the other.
*Option 1 is using UserInputService.
Option 2 is using the Player's Mouse.*
UserInputService
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local mousePos = UIS:GetMouseLocation()
This will return the position in offsetted pixels, not the location pointed in workspace.
Player's Mouse
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local mouseX = mouse.X
local mouseY = mouse.Y
--// This will return the position in offsetted pixels, not the location pointed in workspace.
local mousePosW = mouse.Hit.p or mouse.Hit --// Vector3 - CFrame
--// The CFrame of the mouse’s position in 3D space
local mousePosWW = mouse.Origin.p or mouse.Origin --// Vector3 - CFrame
--//A CFrame positioned at the Workspace.CurrentCamera and oriented toward the Mouse's 3D position.
--// This will return the position in workspace, not the location in offsetted pixels.
Hope this helped! Feel free to select this as an answer if this helped you!
I recommend doing more research on the Player's Mouse, very useful!
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.Move:Connect(function()
wait()
print(Mouse.X)
print(Mouse.Y)
end)
You can change the mouse.Move to whenever you want to get the players mouse position, and the print was just an example to show you where the players mouse is.

You can use UserInputService for a cleaner position. local mousePos = game:GetService("UserInputService"):GetMouseLocation()
