Is it me or is Mouse.Target not working?

So for some reason Mouse.Target doesn’t work, if I try waiting for the child using the variable local player = game.Players:WaitForChild("LocalPlayer") it still doesn’t work? Anyways, here’s the script.

local Tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players:WaitForChild("LocalPlayer")
local mouse = player.Mouse

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if mouse.Target then
mouse.Target:Destroy()
end
end)

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
if mouse.Target then
mouse.Target.BrickColor = Color3.fromRGB(210, 0, 0)
mouse.Target.Transparency = 0.5
end
end)

Maybe this is the issue, try that:

game.Players.LocalPlayer
#3

I already tried that, doesn’t work.

#4

Also, it is:

local mouse = player:GetMouse()
#5

It still doesnt work if I try that, I tried changing it to game.Players.LocalPlayer and with the player:GetMouse(), still doesn’t work, I tried it with waitforchild and says possible infinite yield and doesn’t delete anything when i click (activated), neither when i hover over an object (equipped).

I’m not with my pc right now, so I can’t test it, but let’s try the basics:

-- LocalScript
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
   print(mouse.Target and mouse.Target:GetFullName())
end)

I’m trying to put it in a tool…

Wait I don’t have it in a localscript, is that the issue?

Oh, so that’s really the problem.

#10

game.Players.LocalPlayer can only be accessed by LocalScripts.

#11

Quick question, how do I make it so if I let go of hovering over the brick, the color goes back to regular?

#12

Use Mouse.Button1Up. Also use Mouse.Move to check if the target is the same.

#13

BrickColor should be changed to Color here:

Thanks, but I already did that. (i noticed it)
