I need help adding the code to place blocks wherever I click my mouse?
Hello, I am making a building game.I already have the pickup block script but I can't build with it. Can anyone help me and add the script to place the block down to anywhere I click my mouse? thank you
Here is the code I have
local tool = script.Parent.Parent local click = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local function pickup(player) tool.Parent = game.Workspace [player.name ]
end
click.MouseClick: Connect (pickup)

No attempt made to actually translate the position to 3D space? DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 3y

I have a question when I click the mouse does it just place down anywhere or does it need a base? topo8986 0 — 3y

I think it's this:
local function round(vector,grid)
return Vector3.new(
math.floor(vector.X/grid+.5)*grid,
math.floor(vector.Y/grid+.5)*grid,
math.floor(vector.Z/grid+.5)*grid
)
end
round(mouse.Hit.Position,3)
or:
-- services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local block = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("block")
-- how far you want the player to reach
local REACH = 100
mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
local unitRay = mouse.UnitRay
local castParams = RaycastParams.new()
castParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = { player.Character }
-- automatically ignores the player's character
local result = Workspace:Raycast(
unitRay.Origin, unitRay.Direction * REACH,
castParams
)
if result then
local newBlock = block:Clone()
newBlock.Position = round(result.Position + result.Normal * 1.5, 3)
newBlock.Parent = workspace
end
end)
I'm not really good at scripting.
