Help getting the player's mouse & checking if a player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want the attached script (which is inside a tool (see attached explorer image)) to check when a player clicks (with the tool equipped) then check if where they click is another player.

Code:

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
	
	mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		if mouse.Target then
			if mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(mouse.Target.Parent) then
					local e = script.Parent.Punishment:Clone()
					e.TargetPlayer.Value = mouse.Target.Parent.Name
					e.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end)

Explorer:

local players = game:GetService"Players"
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local tool = script.Parent

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local hitPart = mouse.Target
	if not hitPart then return end
	local hitModel = hitPart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass"Model"
	if not hitModel then return end
	local hitPlayer = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hitModel)
	if not hitPlayer then return end
	print(hitPlayer.Name)
end)

Bare in mind the legacy mouse object blacklists its client’s characters from its Target property.

Ok. So what does this script do?
