I was wondering how to find the player's mouse using a Server Script, since you can only get it through a local script. Is there a way to pass the mouse found on the local script to the server script? I appreciate the help.

local script

local Tool = script.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer


Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local mouse = player:GetMouse()
	local mouseTarget = mouse.Target
	if (mouse.Target.Parent.Name == "GoldOre") then

	game.ReplicatedStorage.PickaxeHit:FireServer(mouseTarget)
	end
end)

server script

game.ReplicatedStorage.PickaxeHit.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)

local Tool = player.StarterGear:FindFirstChild("GoldPickaxe")
local ting = 0



    local anim = Instance.new("StringValue")
    anim.Name = "toolanim"
    anim.Value = "Slash"
    anim.Parent = Tool

    if ting == 0 then 

        local user = player
        local stats = user:findFirstChild("leaderstats")

        if stats ~= nil then 
            local cash = stats:findFirstChild("Gold")
            cash.Value  = cash.Value  +1

   		end
    end

 
end)

For what reason do you need the mouse? RemoteFunctions should let you pass in any data you think is relevant. https://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/RemoteFunction

I realize now you're using RemoteEvents and are already trying to pass in a mouseTarget (is that what you mean by mouse?). If that's the case, just add an extra parameter to the function in server "function(player, mouseTarget)..." and mouseTarget should reference the same thing it did in the localscript.

If I replace mouseTarget with just 'mouse' (which is a variable in the local script), and add 'mouse' as a parameter in the function in the server script, i thought it would pass that variable into the server script, but it doesn't?
