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

mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	print(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
end)

I’ve been trying for an hour to get this script to work, its even copied off a youtube video and it still wont work. If somebody could give some feedback or tell me whats wrong that would be great, thanks…

A few questions.

  1. What script type is it (Server, Local, Module)?
  2. Where is it located?
  3. Are you sure it is not disabled?

hope this answers all those questions…
its not disabled and its a local script located in workspace

This script works perfectly fine for me. It could be that it is not a local script, etc. Make sure this is a local script and is in StarterGui or StarterPlayer.

#5

local scripts do not work inside of Workspace.

LocalScripts don’t run in Workspace unless they are a descendant of a player’s Character. Move it to PlayerScripts.

Copy pasted from this
A LocalScript will only run Lua code if it is a descendant of one of the following objects:

  • A Player’s Backpack , such as a child of a Tool
  • A Player’s character model
  • A Player’s PlayerGui
  • A Player’s PlayerScripts .
  • The ReplicatedFirst service
