Please format your code properly so that all your code is formatted and not just the ending brackets. This time it is done for you but be careful from next time onward.

Also on which line are you getting this null reference error?

 var playerActive : int = 0;
 var particlePoof : GameObject;
 var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
 
 function Start ()

 {
 switch(playerActive) {
         case 0:
         playerActive = 1;
         Debug.Log(playerActive);
         var poof3 = Instantiate (particlePoof, player2.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
         Destroy (poof3, 3.5);
         break;
         case 1: 
         playerActive = 0;
         Debug.Log(playerActive);
         var poof4 = Instantiate (particlePoof, player1.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
         Destroy (poof4, 3.5);
         break;
         }        
     }
