Attempt to index nil with 'MoveTo' and Attempt to index nil with 'Position'

I’m making a thing where you can press a keybind on someone and it will force them to follow your mouse for a few seconds, but I’ve run into 2 issues.

I’m getting 2 errors from the module script which handles it:

Attempt to index nil with 'MoveTo'
and
Attempt to index nil with 'Position'

Here’s my scripts:

server script which sends to the module

--// Services
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local TweenService = game:GetService('TweenService')
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')

--// Items
--# Objects
local Events = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild('HISSES')
local SpellEvent = Events:FindFirstChild('SpellEvent')

local Powers = require(script.Powers)

--# Variables
SpellEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Power, Target, State, Mouse)
	if Power == 'Healing' then
		Powers.Healing(Player.Character, Target)
	elseif Power == 'Concillium' then
		Powers.Concillium(Player, Target, State, Mouse)
		print(Target.Name) -- this doesn't print, i dont know why
		print(Target) -- this also doesn't print
	end
end)

here’s the module script

--// Services
local TweenService = game:GetService('TweenService')

--// Items
--# Objects
local Effects = script:FindFirstChild('Effects')

local Animations = require(script:FindFirstChild('Animations'))

--# Variables
local Powers = {}

function Powers.Concillium(Caster, Target, State, mousePos)

	if State == 'stop' then
		Target:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid'):MoveTo(Target.PrimaryPart.Position) -- 'Position' error coming from here
	else
		Target:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid'):MoveTo(mousePos) -- 'MoveTo' error coming from here
	end

end

and here’s the local script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("HISSES"):WaitForChild("SpellEvent")
local debounce = false
local cooldown = false
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local readyToCast = false
local held = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, isTyping)
	if isTyping then return end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z and debounce == false and cooldown == false and held == false then
		readyToCast = true
		cooldown = true
		debounce = true
		held = true
		local timeHeld = 0
		Event:FireServer("Concillium", mouse.Target, 'start', mouse.Hit.Position)
		while held == true do
			wait(1)
			timeHeld += 1
			if timeHeld > 45 then
				Event:FireServer("Concillium", mouse.Target.Parent, 'stop', mouse.Hit.Position)
				held = false
				wait(30)
				cooldown = false
				debounce = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(key, isTyping)
	if isTyping then return end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z and readyToCast == true then
		readyToCast = false
		Event:FireServer("Concillium", mouse.Target.Parent, 'stop', mouse.Hit.Position)
		wait(30)
		cooldown = false
		debounce = false
	end
end)

It should be mouse.Target.Parent here

You are not checking whether mouse.Target is actually an object. Whenever the mouse is hovering over nothing like the sky, then mouse.Target will be nil.

I did originally have mouse.Target.Parent but it still wasn’t working
