Why is Target in mouse.Target nil all a sudden?
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
target = mouse.Target
local billboard
while true do
if target.Parent == game.Workspace.Items then
billboard = mouse.Target.BillboardGui
billboard.Enabled = true
print("Mouse hovering over food")
else
billboard.Enabled = false
end
wait(.1)
end
target is fine, but target.Parent isn't why not?

mouse.Target can be nil if the mouse doesn't have a target. Code block if mouse.Target is not nil before you do anything. pidgey 548 — 5y

Your target is coming up nil because you're only checking for the mouse target as the script is loading so it is never actually updating what the mouse is targeting. Try something like this:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
while true do
local target = mouse.Target --Mouse target will update at the start of every loop
if target ~= nil and target.Parent == game.Workspace.Items then --Makes sure the target isn't nil such as aiming the mouse at the sky
billboard = mouse.Target.BillboardGui
target.BillboardGui.Enabled = true
print("Mouse hovering over food")
else if billboard ~= nil then --Makes sure the script doesn't error should the billboard not exist
billboard.Enabled = false
end
end
wait(.1)
end
