I need to get the player in order to make my script work however, I don´t know how to "get" the player from their mouse. Here´s my script.

Tool = script.Parent
Handle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function(player)
    player.Hidden.Tool.Value = 1
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function(player)
    player.Hidden.Tool.Value = 0
end)

Is this a script or localscript? Jahaziel_VanDerHas 238 — 4y

Tool.Parent would be your character, then use GetPlayerFromCharacter to get the player itself.

Alright, so, let's see

A tool should typically have a localscript, because those are the ones you should be using to interact with the client, so first things first move the code to a localscript.

After you have that, you can just use

local Player=game:GetService"Players".LocalPlayer

to figure out which player the script is running for, and then use remote events and functions where necessary in order to interact with the server.

I hope these wiki articles can help you get used to communicating between local and server scripts.
