You can't find LocalPlayer in a normal script, thus you can't get :GetMouse(). You can only do it on local scripts. You should also know that local scripts can't run in workspace.

so what would i use to get the player because i cant have it in a local scriptt
You can send the mouse variable to a server script using a remote event.
and how would i do that
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/RemoteEvent this page has info on remote event's, you can also watch a tutorial on it, but basically what you want to do is send the "mouse" variable in the localscript in the argument in :FireServer()
i know what they are but im trying to make the roblox arm face the mouse
but in what u said i understood but the argument bit
In .OnServerEvent you can get the mouse variable and do your script normally. About the arm facing the mouse, I can only tell you to use CFrames. After you made a script and if it doesn't work, you can make a question and we'll fix it for you.
okay
