How to make this script which puts a border on the targeted block print no errors?
I made a script that will put a border around what your mouse is pointing at it works but it prints hundreds of errors when I'm pointing at the sky
Here is the script
01 | -- Get Player |
02 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
03 |
04 | -- MainThings |
05 | local TileGrid = workspace.Tiles |
06 | local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() |
07 |
08 | -- Border |
09 | local Border = Instance.new("SelectionBox") |
10 | Border.Parent = workspace |
11 | Border.LineThickness = .01 |
12 | Border.Color3 = Color3.new(255,255,255) |
13 |
14 | -- Services |
15 | local RunService = game:GetService("RunService") |

Hello.
Problem:
- You did not check if the target was existent. A target is nil when you're pointing to the sky.
Solution:
- Add an if statement checking if the mouse target is existent.
Recommendation(s):
- Use
Mouse.Moveinstead ofRunService.Heartbeatto prevent lag.
Fixed Script:
01 | -- Get Player |
02 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
03 |
04 | -- MainThings |
05 | local TileGrid = workspace.Tiles |
06 | local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() |
07 |
08 | -- Border |
09 | local Border = Instance.new("SelectionBox") |
10 | Border.Parent = workspace |
11 | Border.LineThickness = .01 |
12 | Border.Color3 = Color3.new(255,255,255) |
13 |
14 | -- Event |
15 | Mouse.Move:Connect(function() |
