Try placing NewPart.Position=target.p You need to get the position of the mouse on line 14.

My only issue is, is it keeps saying that its userdata and can't be used but I have it like NewPart.Position = CFrame.new(target.CFrame) but then it throws a error saying vector expected? Help?

Your Problem

mouse.Target will return a userdata(instance), so you need to index the Position property of target.

Code

local mouse = plugin:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
	local NewPart = Instance.new("Part")
	NewPart.Anchored = true 
	NewPart.Parent = workspace
	local Mesh = Instance.new("SpecialMesh", NewPart)
	Mesh.MeshId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=150251147"
	Mesh.Scale = Vector3.new(3.1, 3.1, 3.1)
	Mesh.TextureId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=150251554"
	NewPart.Size = Vector3.new(2, 3, 31.6) 
	local target = mouse.Target
	NewPart.Position = target.Position
end)
