I am making a tower defense game, and I ran into this issue. The script is seeing the right position where my mouse is pointing, but where the actual tower is placed is slightly off. It is slightly too far ahead and it amplifies the farther out I go. I wish I could have uploaded files, but this isn't Roblox devforumn.

Code:

local function place()
	print("func fired")
	local newTower = tower:Clone()
	local bubble = newTower.Bubble
	local range = newTower.Settings.Range.Value
	local account = 16
	bubble.Size = Vector3.new(0.5, range + account, range + account)
	bubble.Transparency = 0.6
	bubble.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	local yOrientation = 0
	local canPlace = false
	if not placing then
		placing = true
		newTower.Parent = workspace
		
		local startCFrame = CFrame.new(0, -2, -15)
		newTower:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(root.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(startCFrame))
		game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
			if newTower and placing then
				local mouseRay = mouse.UnitRay
				local castRay = Ray.new(mouseRay.Origin, mouseRay.Direction * 1000000000)
				local ignoreList = newTower:GetChildren()
				table.insert(ignoreList, #ignoreList, root)
				local hit, position = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(castRay, ignoreList)

				if hit then
					if hit.Name == "Grass" and hit.Parent.Name == "FloorTowers" then
						canPlace = true
						bubble.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 160, 255)
					else
						canPlace = false
						bubble.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
					end
					if newTower:FindFirstChild("Bubble") then
						newTower.Bubble.Transparency = 0.6
					end
					local newAnglesCFrame = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(yOrientation), 0)
					local newCFrame = CFrame.new(position.X, position.Y + yOffset, position.Z)
					if newTower then
						if newTower.PrimaryPart then
							newTower:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(newCFrame * newCFrame)
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end)
		uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
				rKeyDown = true
				local speed = 2.5
				while rKeyDown do
					yOrientation = yOrientation + speed
					tower.PrimaryPart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, yOrientation, 0)
					wait()
				end
			end
		end)
		uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
				rKeyDown = false
			end
		end)
		mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
			if placing then
				if canPlace and newTower then
					game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.PlaceTower:FireServer(tower, newTower.PrimaryPart.CFrame)
					game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.PlaceTower.OnClientEvent:Wait()
					newTower:Destroy()
					placing = false
				end
			end
		end)
		uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
				placing = false
				newTower:Destroy()
			end
		end)
	end
end

It's on a local script and it works just fine except for where the tower itself is being placed. Thanks for your help!
