Mouse
Mouse (extends Instance)
Local: This item should be used with a LocalScript in order to work as expected in online mode.

The Mouse object is the code interface for the computer mouse, including buttons and mouse position.

A Mouse object is not creatable, but can be obtained using the Selected event of HopperBins or the Equipped event of Tools. A Mouse object is only usable while the Player has the Tool or HopperBin selected. Once they are deselected, the Mouse's events will no longer be triggered and reading the properties will cause an error.

Example
script.Parent.Selected:connect(function(mouse) --have this LocalScript inside a HopperBin
	for i = 1, 10, 1 do --print the mouse's location 10 times
		wait(1)
		print(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
	end
end)

Name
Type string
Description The name of the object, which is often used to identify it in the context of its parent. Note that names are not unique identifiers; multiple children of an object may share the same name. In a script where you want to access an object using a name, for example, game.Workspace["Brick"], the first object found with that name is that object. This "first object" can be found in the Explorer menu.Names are great for showing a very brief title or summary of an object.
Member of Instance
Parent
Type Instance
Description The hierarchical parent of the object. When no scripts hold references to an object, it will still be maintained as long as it's parent is set to an object which does have references to it, either by other objects or scripts. The toplevel DataModel object (the one referred to as the "game" by scripts) has no parent, but always has a reference held to it by the game engine, and exists for the duration of a session.
