oh also do

local Players = Game:GetService("Players") -- you cant put variables all over the place
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
#5

oh i also forgot to mention only do that on local scripts and if you want to do it on server use remote events or remote functions because the server/serverscript is almost inaccessible to run anything

#6

okay but first @NvTheDeveIoper what are you trying to do

#8

Is Players defined as game.Players? if not, do this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

This code works, I’ve done things alike before.

#13

you cant get LocalPlayer on server

#14

Then they cannot run LocalPlayer (something you tried in your reply). I’d suggest running it on a LocalScript since it’s gonna be a Gui most likely.

#15

but hes trying to do it in serverscriptservice

#16

And? You still can’t run LocalPlayer on a Script since it has no client exclusively to run on. If the ship part is on a Gui, use a LocalScript instead.

#17

But if it’s 3D, then I’d want to suggest using a LocalScript to initialize, and a RemoteEvent to transfer that across the server-client boundary:

local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	replicatedstorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.p) --put arguments here in parenthesis
end)

On server in ServerScriptService with a Script:

local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
replicatedstorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, mousespot)
	local part = workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name .. "Ship")
	part.Position = mousespot
end)

Like, @daisytheghostchild98 has said,The Reason why GetMouse is nil is because this is ran on a server script inside server script service. You Can only get the mouse from the Player in a local script so what i would reccomend is switching your script from Server Script Service to Starter Player Scripts or Starter Character scripts and try there if you want this to replicate to the server you would use a remote event
