Player object getting rewritten?

Hi there everyone, I have an issue with the

player:GetMouse() function.

It seems to overwrite player object if referenced in any function being passed through the

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect([functionName])

line.

Here is my code:

local Mobius = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Monkey.Core.Mobius)
local Pieces = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Monkey.Core.Pieces)
local DeckList = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Monkey.Items.DeckList)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = player:GetMouse()

local MetaData = Mobius.new(workspace:WaitForChild("MetaData"):GetChildren())
local UpdateSelectionEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.UpdateSelection
local MovePiece = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.MovePiece


local function isTilePart(part)
	return string.sub(part.Name, 1, 4) == "Tile"
end

local function Select()
	for _, items in ipairs(DeckList) do
		if tostring(Mouse.Target) == items.Name and Mouse.Target.Parent == workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name) then
			UpdateSelectionEvent:InvokeServer(tostring(Mouse.Target))
		end
	end
end


print(MetaData:GetPlayerSelection(player))

local function MoveTarget()
	if isTilePart(Mouse.Target) then
		print(player:GetChildren())
		if MetaData:GetCurrentPlayer() == player.Name and MetaData:GetPlayerTurns(player) > 0 and MetaData:GetPlayerSelection(player) ~= nil then
			MovePiece:InvokeServer(MetaData:GetPlayerSelection(), Mouse.Target.Position)
		end
	end
end


Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(Select)
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(MoveTarget)

Pay attention to the

local function MoveTarget()
	if isTilePart(Mouse.Target) then
		print(player:GetChildren())
		if MetaData:GetCurrentPlayer() == player.Name and MetaData:GetPlayerTurns(player) > 0 and MetaData:GetPlayerSelection(player) ~= nil then
			MovePiece:InvokeServer(MetaData:GetPlayerSelection(), Mouse.Target.Position)
		end
	end
end

Function.

It is trying to verify the current turn (in the game) is the player clicking, if they have the right amount of turns, and if the player’s selection value isn’t empty.

Mobius module:

local Mobius = {}

function Mobius.new(metadata)
	local self = setmetatable({}, {__index = Mobius})
	self.metadata = metadata
	return self
end

function Mobius:GetCurrentPlayer()
	for i,v in pairs(self.metadata) do
		if v.Name == "CurrentTurn" then
			return v.Value
		end
	end
end

function Mobius:GetPlayerSelection(player)
	if player then
		print("Player exists")
		local currentSelection = player:WaitForChild("CurrentSelection")
		return currentSelection.Value
	else
		print("player doesn't exist")
	end
end



function Mobius:GetPlayerTurns(player)
	if player:FindFirstChild("Turns") then
		return player["Turns"].Value
	end
end

function Mobius:ChangeCurrents(player, newValue)
	if player:FindFirstChild("CurrentSelection") then
		player["CurrentSelection"].Value = tostring(newValue)
	end
end

return Mobius

At first when clicking, it returns true. The player does exist. But half a second later it returns false, the player doesn’t exist. Any clue as to why?
