Tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
    if player:IsInGroup(2608221)then

GetRoleInGroup returns the name of the rank. Like if the user is not in the group, it would be 'Guest'

So you are using a string against a number, instead use.

That will return a number..

Because "GetRoleInGroup" returns the string value of the role. And you're comparing it to a numerical value of 1 using the greater than symbol.
