so i have a slicing script and it uses a tool to slice stuff its like a semi laser and when i use it it works the first time secondly i cant use it and i try to re equip the tool and the console says Workspace.67kraccbacc.CutToolRed.LocalScript:89: attempt to index nil with ‘InputBegan’ - Client - LocalScript:89
heres the script btw
