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:
local tool = script.Parent
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
local playername = tool.Parent.Name
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(playername)
local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
local mouse = Mouse.Hit
local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
bullet.Anchored = bullet
bullet.CanCollide = false
bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
bullet.Material = ("Neon")
bullet.Parent = workspace
bullet.Position = tool.Handle.Position + Vector3.new(0, 0, 1)
bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(bullet.CFrame.p,mouse.p)
end)
the error I get is:
Workspace.Pistol.Script:7: attempt to index local 'Mouse' (a nill value)

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 — 5y

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
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local tool = script.Parent
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
bullet.Anchored = bullet
bullet.CanCollide = false
bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
bullet.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
bullet.Parent = workspace
bullet.Position = tool.Handle.Position + Vector3.new(0, 0, 1)
bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(bullet.CFrame.p, mouse.Hit.p)
end)
