Alright, I wanted to print a player's name when I put my mouse on it's character, I tried to do the game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Hit but it didn't work though. So I was wondering, if you could help me, thank you so much.

use Target rather than Hit because the former gives the object, and the latter gives the position. You can use game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Target.Parent and that should give you the character. Make sure to check it's a character though by doing :FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") and checking to see if that exists.

I prefer game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter() because it makes sure it's a player and not an NPC Griffi0n 315 — 6y

Why would he use WhichIsA humanoid. He should be using OfClass humanoid. User#19524 175 — 6y

Already done. That's what I did:

local m = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local ErasureActive = game.ReplicatedStorage.ErasureActive.Value
local ttime = "ok"

m.KeyDown:connect(function(k)
k = k:lower()
if k == 'z' then 
 if ttime == "ok" then
  local target = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Target
  local h = target.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
  if h then
    print(h.Parent.Name)
end
end
end
end)

Don't use deprecated methods Griffi0n 315 — 6y

Lmao on line 6 you’re overriding the k parameter. Plus keydown is deprecated. Go learn to use UIS or CAS User#19524 175 — 6y
