There are two issues with your script. First of all, you should change

player=game.Players.LocalPlayer

to:

local player=game.Players.LocalPlayer

Using local variables has many benefits; try to change all of your non-local variables to local variables.

The main issue is that you can't access anything in ServerStorage from a LocalScript. LocalScripts run on the client. Anything in ServerStorage can only be accessed from the server, using a Script, rather than a LocalScript. However, you can't use UserInputService from a Script. You should probably look into RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions to remedy this conflict.

Good luck! I hope this helps.
