How would i get player info by the mouse rolling over one?
In the past, i had tried this to fetch me variables with player's name and team:
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Mouse = player:GetMouse()
Identifier = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.CyborgGui.CyborgVision.Identifier
if player.Mouse.Target:GetPlayerFromCharacter()then
Player = player.Mouse.Target
PlayerName = Player.Name
PlayerTeam = Player.TeamColor
--This is not a whole script, but a part of it
And it doesn't do anything, really. The variables won't fetch the things. What is wrong?
(I will post the rest of the script if it helps.)

player.Mouse isn't a thing. If you're referring to the mouse object you made, just use your Mouse variable (canonical names are lowercase though)
Arbitrary objects don't have a GetPlayerFromCharacter method. That's a method of the Players service.
In addition, the Target is the Part, not, the model that the part is in. It can also be nil, so be careful.
Here is one way to put all of that together into a fix:
local target = mouse.Target
if target then
-- Is hovering over something (not the sky)
local character = target -- The *part* hovering over
repeat
character = character.Parent
until character:IsA("Model") or character:IsA("Workspace")
-- To work on Hats, Tool, Gear, we have to
-- go up an unknown number of levels
-- Until the workspace, or a model
local targetPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if targetPlayer then
-- `character` is the Character model of player `targetPlayer`
print(targetPlayer.Name)
end
end
Additional note:
This will only happen once. -- When the script loads.
For the effect to be useful, this obviously needs to be happening repeatedly; simplest way is to use a while true do wait() loop.
