Projectile Script Not Working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Im trying to make a guided projectile, this script is supposed to make it so when a player click on their screen then, a projectile will pop up in the rocket blasting out to the mouse position ( basically the Roblox rocket )

-- Variables
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Projectile = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Parts"):WaitForChild("Projectile")

local BlastParticle = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Particles"):WaitForChild("BlastEffect")

local Debounce = false

local Cooldown = 7

local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local FireSound = script.Parent.Handle:WaitForChild("Fire")

local ExplosionSound = script.Parent.Handle:WaitForChild("Boom")

-- Configure
local con = {
	rocketSpeed = nil;
	damage = function() return math.random(10, 25) end
}

-- Rocket Shot
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if not Debounce then
		
		local mousePosition = mouse.Hit
		
		Debounce = true
		
		FireSound:Play()
		
		local ProjectileClone = Projectile:Clone()
		
		ProjectileClone.Name = "Projectile"
		
		ProjectileClone.Parent = game.Workspace
		
		ProjectileClone.Position = script.Parent.FirePart.Position
		
		ProjectileClone.Oreintation = ProjectileClone.Oreintation * mousePosition.LookVector
		
		local BodyMover = Instance.new("BodyForce")
		BodyMover.Name = "BodyForce"
		BodyMover.Parent = ProjectileClone
		BodyMover.Force = Vector3.new(0,20,0)
		
		for i = 1, 500 do
			ProjectileClone.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(mousePosition)
		end
		
		local function ProjectileBlast()
			local Explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
			Explosion.Name = "Explosion"
			Explosion.Parent = ProjectileClone
			Explosion.Position = ProjectileClone.Position
			
			local ExplosionSoundClone = ExplosionSound:Clone()
			ExplosionSoundClone.Name = "ExplosionSound"
			ExplosionSoundClone.Parent = ProjectileClone
			
			local BlastEffectClone = BlastParticle:Clone()
			BlastEffectClone.Name = "Blast"
			BlastEffectClone.Parent = ProjectileClone
			
			ExplosionSoundClone:Play()
			
			BlastEffectClone.Enabled = true
			task.wait(0.5)
			BlastEffectClone.Enabled = false
			
			Debris:AddItem(Explosion, 1)
			Debris:AddItem(ProjectileClone,	0)
			
		end
		
		ProjectileClone.Touched:Connect(ProjectileBlast)
		wait(Cooldown)
		Debounce = false
	end
end)

This Doesn’t work at all, theirs no errors in the output earthier

Add print statements to further pinpoint where the exact issue is

Also you never really specified what’s wrong with the script, can you give us a bit more information on what’s not working exactly?

-- Variables
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Projectile = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Parts"):WaitForChild("Projectile")
local BlastParticle = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Particles"):WaitForChild("BlastEffect")
local Debounce = false
local Cooldown = 7
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local FireSound = script.Parent.Handle:WaitForChild("Fire")
local ExplosionSound = script.Parent.Handle:WaitForChild("Boom")

print("We know this 100% works")

-- Configure
local con = {
	rocketSpeed = nil;
	damage = function() return math.random(10, 25) end
}

-- Rocket Shot
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
    print("This has been activated/fired")

	if not Debounce then
		print("Firing the projectile")
		
		local mousePosition = mouse.Hit.Position
		
		Debounce = true
		
		FireSound:Play()
		
		local ProjectileClone = Projectile:Clone()
		ProjectileClone.Name = "Projectile"
		ProjectileClone.Parent = game.Workspace
