local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
local kaboom = Instance.new("Explosion",workspace)

end)

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.
local playerServ = game:GetService("Players") -- Get the players service
local player = playerServ.LocalPlayer -- Use the LocalPlayer property
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
local kaboom = Instance.new("Explosion",workspace)
kaboom.Position = mouse.Hit.Position
end)
