So i want to detect when the player clicks so i can give them points though my script wont work, it shows no errors or anything, it is a local script inside of the GUI


local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

while true do
    wait(0.01)
    if ReplicatedStorage.PlayerLoaded == true then
        print("load successful for "..game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
        script.Parent.Frame.Visible = true

        local Cooldown = false

        local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
        Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
            if Cooldown == false then
                ReplicatedStorage.ClickEvent:FireServer()
                Cooldown = true
                wait(0.1)
                Cooldown = false
            end
        end)
    end
end

I wouldn't recommend listening to Mouse.Button1Down in a while true loop. I would do something like this:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
-- repeating the wait() function until PlayerLoaded is true, aka yielding
repeat wait() until ReplicatedStorage.PlayerLoaded.Value == true

print("load successful for "..game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
script.Parent.Frame.Visible = true

local Cooldown = false

local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    print("mouse click")
    if Cooldown == false then
        print("cooldown disabled")
        ReplicatedStorage.ClickEvent:FireServer()
        Cooldown = true
        wait(0.1)
        Cooldown = false
    end
end)

I've added two more prints for debugging (lines 12 and 14)
