So i'm trying to use "mouse" to detect where a players mouse is hitting when they activate my tool and it keeps throwing the error (title)
the code here (line 4 is the error)
Tool=script.Parent
vCharacter = Tool.Parent
vPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(vCharacter)
mouse=vPlayer:GetMouse()
is it because i'm using a server script that i cannot get it?
The tool is being used by the player which means it should be in a local script, try that and tell me how it runs.
How tools work is through the Client, when you make a change... you need to make sure that the client can make a change to the Server itself. To do this, you need to use a Remote Event which would be stored inside the tool itself. I don't know a lot about tools but I do know how Remote Events work so I am willing to help with any type of question revolving Remote Events. Here's a link describing how Remote Events and Remove Functions work. Also, if you're trying to get a change to happen on just the Client side then you just need a Local Script to do such a thing.
ok ill try to use remote events
Alright, if you have issues with the Remote Events, make a new post and explain what the scripts do and what errors you're receiving.
If you are going to post an answer, please write it with explanations and code. What you have written is viable as a comment only
ima scrap remote events, just realized it just made things more complicated

using tools is done by the player; so yes I'm thinking you should use a local script instead because the player is local and is using the tool, not the server
I made an edit to my answer, it should help you understand Remote Events a bit more.
