How can I make a part follow my mouse? (an attack)
So what I did was make a local script and a remote event and a server script.
Local Script:
local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
local MousePosition = Mouse.Hit.p
rp.RemoteEvent:FireServer(Mouse.Hit.p)
end)
Server Script:
local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = rp:WaitForChild("water")
local mouse = rp:WaitForChild("mouse")
rp.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mp)
print(player)
print(mp)
player.Character.Cylinder.Position = Vector3.new(mp)
end)
the player.Character.Cylinder part is when a water cylinder attack's parent is set to the character, and then i try to put its position (vector3) to the mouse position (mp). All that happens is the water cylinder attack just appears in a weird position and doesn't move. No Errors. Please help!

Use CFrame instead of .position. I am not sure why that occurs with .position, but all I know is that you need to use CFrame.
This would be your serverscript!
local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = rp:WaitForChild("water")
local mouse = rp:WaitForChild("mouse")
rp.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mp)
print(player)
print(mp)
player.Character.Cylinder.CFrame = mp
end)
And this your localscript:
local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
local MousePosition = Mouse.Hit
rp.RemoteEvent:FireServer(MousePotition)
end)

it works, but the only problem is the cylinder rotates weirdly. How can I make it so that it stays straight up? Also, you did (MousePotition) but i fixed the spelling mistake. lilzy7 68 — 3y
