The script has to be local, and you can set player as game.Players.LocalPlayer Shawnyg 4330 — 5y

Thanks to @Shawnyg, you get set the player in a LocalScript with the LocalPlayer property in the Players service.
1 | local playerServ = game:GetService("Players") -- Get the players service |
2 | local player = playerServ.LocalPlayer -- Use the LocalPlayer property |
3 | local mouse = player:GetMouse() |

5 | script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function() |
6 | local kaboom = Instance.new("Explosion",workspace) |
7 | kaboom.Position = mouse.Hit.Position |
8 | end) |
