i am a newbie at scripting but i know how to script.I am making a Tycoon Building game I have a problem where i want to make the model follow my mouse cursor once i clicked the GUI button, and i want it continuously follow the cursor once i click it

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local function round (n)
    return math.floor(n + 0.5)
end

if game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.BuildModeFrame.BuildSelections.IronWall
    then
        game:GetService("UserInputService").InputChanged:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
            game.Workspace.walls.ironwall:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(round(mouse.Hit.Position.X),round(mouse.Hit.Position.Y),round(mouse.Hit.Position.Z)) + Vector3.new(0,5,0))
    end)
end

some parts of this code isn't necessarily needed to be there. Please help and also if you can make this script more shorter that would help a lot , thank you in advance

I haven't looked into this myself, but with Miners Haven opensource, I'm sure it's there somewhere. Also worth checking out: https://scriptinghelpers.org/blog/creating-a-furniture-placement-system

For the actual question though, the way I always handle these things is I have a function that I BindToRenderStep with RunService.

In the function, I'll have everything that needs to run every frame such as:

if isPlacingObject then 
    setObjectPosition()
end

Then when the gui is clicked, I set isPlacingObject to true, and clone the object and the RunService function will automatically set it for you

What I'm trying to say is like a menu system with some selection of items , where if you choose it would generate a 3D blueprint spectacularnicknack 2 — 4y
