Grabbing Position from Mouse.Hit()?

Asked 327 views1 answers

Hi all!

Im using this script I clobbered together by looking at Mouse on the wiki and some stuff from here. I havent really used this before so I'm not even sure if this is really correct but I cant print Pos from here.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Pos = Vector3.new(Mouse.Hit.Position())

print(Pos)

I'm trying to get a mouse position, then convert it so a NPC can move to it. I may just be extremely dumb. I'm newer to scripting so please go easy on me.

By mouse position do you mean the Vector3 position of where the mouse is pointing or the Vector2 position of where it is on the screen?

I mean the position of the mouse in the 3D world

Apologies, it seems I misunderstood again. Here is some code.

local Pos = nil
local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

local function check()
	Pos = Mouse.Hit.Position
	print(Pos)
end

-- while true do
-- 	check()
-- wait(0.1)
--	Delete the comments if you want to test if this works.
