local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local targets = {Torso = true, HumanoidRootPart = true}
local sel = Instance.new("SelectionBox", player.PlayerGui)
mouse.Move:connect(function()
if mouse.Target and targets[mouse.Target.Name] then
sel.Adornee = mouse.Target
else
sel.Adornee = nil
end
end)
Hello Timster111!
Yes, there is a way to put a selection box over just a part. Just set the Selection Box's Adornee property to the part in question. Your question about putting it over a part hovered over by the mouse is a tad bit trickier, but very doable.
--note that this needs to be in a local script
--define variables
local m = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local IsBoxUp = false
local BoxedPart = nil
--set an anonymous function to run every time the player moves his mouse
--you can use a while loop if you want it to check constantly, but I find this to be less of a strain
m.Move:connect(function()
if m.Target then
if not IsBoxUp then --make the box
IsBoxUp = true
BoxedPart = m.Target
sb = Instance.new("SelectionBox", m.Target)
sb.Adornee = m.Target
elseif IsBoxUp and m.Target ~= BoxedPart then --destroy the old box and make a new one
sb:Destroy()
BoxedPart = m.Target
sb = Instance.new("SelectionBox", m.Target)
sb.Adornee = m.Target
end
end
end)

Use the code the guy above me posted. It's far cleaner.
