When I do player:GetMouse() on a server, it returns nil, How can I get the mouse?
Heres the code I wrote on a tool
local player = nil
if script.Parent.Parent:IsA("Model") then
player = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name)
else
player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
end
print(player)
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
print(mouse)
prints (the player's name) and after it prints nil
You are able to get a player's mouse by using the :GetMouse() feature. Keep in mind that ":GetMouse()" will only return the mouse being used by the client. Just because of that, we are going to make an EXAMPLE of a GetMouse function Remember that this is just an example of what you can do with GetMouse
For Example: [In a server-sided script]
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local getmouse = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", rs)
getmouse.Name = "GetMouse"
getmouse.OnServerEvent:Connect(plr, mouse)
if mouse == "MouseButton1Down" then
print(plr .. " just clicked MouseButton1Down!")
end
end)
[In a Local-Script]
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("GetMouse")
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
event:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name, Button1Down)
end)

uhh use remoteevents u cant get mouse on server only local scripts only the mouse.position and what not can actually be transferred to the script not the actual mouse
I need to do a mouse button pressed event
":GetMouse()" only returns the mouse being used by the client. Is this your goal?
