Is there anything like Mouse.Move for UserInputService? I know there's InputChanged but it doesn't seem to work for me. I'm trying to create a building tool and it would be better if it's all UserInputService. (Line 45.) This is what i've done so far:

01local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
02 
03local mouse = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
04mouse.TargetFilter = script.Parent -- I wrote script.Parent because it's in StarterCharacterScripts
05 
06local wasAnchored 
07 
08local wasCanCollide
09 
10local targetPart
11 
12local selectionBox
13 
14local mouseMove
15 
16UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
17    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not gameProcessedEvent then
18        targetPart = mouse.Target
19 
20        selectionBox = Instance.new("SelectionBox")
21        selectionBox.Adornee = targetPart
22        selectionBox.Parent = targetPart
23 
24        if targetPart.Anchored then
25            wasAnchored = true
26        else
27            wasAnchored = false
28        end
29 
30        if targetPart.CanCollide then
31            wasCanCollide = true
32        else
33            wasCanCollide = false
34        end
35 
36 
37        local function onMouseMove()
38            if not targetPart.Locked then
39                targetPart.CanCollide = false
40                targetPart.Anchored = true
41                targetPart.Position = mouse.Hit.p
42            end
43        end
44 
45        mouseMove = mouse.Move:Connect(onMouseMove)
46    end
47end)
48 
49UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
50    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not gameProcessedEvent then
51        mouseMove:Disconnect()
52        selectionBox:Destroy()
53 
54        if not wasAnchored then
55            targetPart.Anchored = false
56        end
57 
58        if wasCanCollide then
59            targetPart.CanCollide = true
60        end
61    end
62end)

I'll just say that I don't know how you can do this with UserInputService, but mouse.Move already seems to work fine.
I tested out your script. Everything works well except for the movement of the targetPart. I don't know if that's why you wanted to use something other than mouse.Move. I used TweenService in your onMouseMove function (on line 43), and the movement was fixed.
When I let go of the part which is where InputEnded runs, the targetPart went back to its original position. That was fixed on line 53.

01local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
02 
03local mouse = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
04mouse.TargetFilter = script.Parent -- I wrote script.Parent because it's in StarterCharacterScripts
05 
06local wasAnchored 
07 
08local wasCanCollide
09 
10local targetPart
11 
12local selectionBox
13 
14local mouseMove
15 
16UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
17    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not gameProcessedEvent then
18        targetPart = mouse.Target
19 
20        selectionBox = Instance.new("SelectionBox")
21        selectionBox.Adornee = targetPart
22        selectionBox.Parent = targetPart
23 
24        if targetPart.Anchored then
25            wasAnchored = true
26        else
27            wasAnchored = false
28        end
29 
30        if targetPart.CanCollide then
31            wasCanCollide = true
32        else
33            wasCanCollide = false
34        end
35 
36    local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
37    local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
38 
39    local function onMouseMove()
40        if not targetPart.Locked then
41            targetPart.CanCollide = false
42                targetPart.Anchored = true
43                local tween = tweenService:Create(targetPart, TweenInfo.new(0.4, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0), {CFrame = CFrame.new(mouse.Hit.p)})
44                tween:Play()
45        end
46    end
47    mouseMove = mouse.Move:Connect(onMouseMove)
48end
49end)
50 
51UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
52    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not gameProcessedEvent then
53        targetPart.Position = mouse.Hit.p
54        mouseMove:Disconnect()
55        selectionBox:Destroy()
56 
57        if not wasAnchored then
58            targetPart.Anchored = false
59        end

61        if wasCanCollide then
62            targetPart.CanCollide = true
63        end
64    end
65end)

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.

I think this might be what you mean, if it is you can edit it to your liking

01Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
03 
04Gui = Player.PlayerGui.GunShop
05 
06InfoGui = Gui.InfoHover12
07 
08Module = require(game.ReplicatedFirst.GunInfo)
09 
10Entered = false
11 
12script.Parent.MouseEnter:connect(function()
13    Entered = true
14    InfoGui.Visible = true
15 
16 
17    local info = Module.getInfo(script.Parent.Parent.Name)
18 
19 
20end)
21 
22script.Parent.MouseLeave:connect(function()
23    Entered = false
24    InfoGui.Visible = false
25end)
26 
27Mouse.Move:connect(function()
28    if Entered then
29        InfoGui.Position = UDim2.new(0,Mouse.X+10,0,Mouse.Y+20)
30    end
31end)
