How do I get a mouse position on my gun? please help :P
I have tried to get a mouse but it is not working here is my code:
01 | local tool = script.Parent |
02 |
03 | tool.Activated:Connect(function() |
04 | local playername = tool.Parent.Name |
05 | local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(playername) |
06 | local Mouse = player:GetMouse() |
07 | local mouse = Mouse.Hit |
08 | local bullet = Instance.new("Part") |
09 | bullet.Anchored = bullet |
10 | bullet.CanCollide = false |
11 | bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") |
12 | bullet.Material = ("Neon") |
13 | bullet.Parent = workspace |
14 | bullet.Position = tool.Handle.Position + Vector3.new(0, 0, 1) |
15 | bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(bullet.CFrame.p,mouse.p) |
16 | end) |
the error I get is:

Please format your code using the "lua" button (edit the question so it is clear to read), Also is this a local script or server script? SerpentineKing 3885 — 6y

GENERAL PRACTICE
"Material" is an Enum, not a string, so while it may work some of the time, it is not guaranteed.
Using :FindFirstChild() on the Players Service can be problematic if an object was placed in the Service that had the same name as the player.
ISSUES
While you can get the player this way, the only way to retrieve the mouse is on the Client, so you will have to alter this to be a LocalScript
REVISED LOCAL SCRIPT under the Tool
01 | local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer |
02 | local mouse = player:GetMouse() |
03 | local tool = script.Parent |
04 |
05 | tool.Activated:Connect(function() |
06 | local bullet = Instance.new("Part") |
07 | bullet.Anchored = bullet |
08 | bullet.CanCollide = false |
09 | bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") |
10 | bullet.Material = Enum.Material.Neon |
11 | bullet.Parent = workspace |
12 | bullet.Position = tool.Handle.Position + Vector3.new(0, 0, 1) |
13 | bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(bullet.CFrame.p, mouse.Hit.p) |
14 | end) |
