This is my LocalScript:
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local mousepos = mouse.Hit.p
while true do
print(mousepos)
wait(1)
end
It should print the position of the mouse every second, but it prints the same position every time. Probably an easy fix, but please help.
A common mistake many developers make is they store a variable rather than grab the latest updated value. Here is an example using a BoolValue.
local boolValue = Instance.new('BoolValue', workspace)
boolValue.Value = true
local x = boolValue.Value
--since boolValue.Value is true, x is true
print(x)
print(bool.Value)
boolValue.Value = false
--what if we change the value?
--well, x is stored and will stay true
--we can check this interaction by printing
print(x)
print(bool.Value)
Output:
true
true
true
false
This same principle applies to your problem. You are storing Mouse.Hit.p as a variable when you actually want to get the updated version. An easy fix would be just to put mousepos inside your loop.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
while true do
local mousepos = mouse.Hit.p
print(mousepos)
wait(1)
end

Thanks a lot! This answer really goes in depth and I think I understand more.
