How would I move a model to the position of where my mouse is?
parent = script.Parent
function onButton1Down(mouse)
local model = parent.Wall:clone()
model:MakeJoints()- creates the pieces
model.Parent = game.Workspace-- places it in workspace
model:MoveTo(mouse,mouse,mouse)--sets the location of mouse
wait(10)
workspace.Wall:Destroy()
end
--- I am confused what to do from here
--Okay this is the revised script
parent = script.Parent
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local wall = parent.Wall:clone()
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
wall:MakeJoints()
wall.Parent = game.Workspace
wall:MoveTo(mouse,0,mouse)
wait(10)
wall:Destroy()
print("works")
end)
---and still nothing

This should work for you:
[LocalScript]
local model = workspace.Model -- this should be the model you want to move
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(inputObject)
if (inputObject.UserInputType ~= Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1) then return end
local mousePosition = inputObject.Position
local mouseRayUnit = camera:ScreenPointToRay(mousePosition.X, mousePosition.Y)
local mouseRay = Ray.new(mouseRayUnit.Origin, mouseRayUnit.Direction * 1000)
local _, mouseTarget, _ = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(mouseRay, {model})
model:MoveTo(mouseTarget)
end)
Let's dive into what this is doing.
First, we have this line:
local mouseRayUnit = camera:ScreenPointToRay(mousePosition.X, mousePosition.Y)
What that line does is take the position of the mouse on the screen and convert it into a unit Ray. (If you don't know what a ray is, you'll have to do some research.)
Next, we have this:
local mouseRay = Ray.new(mouseRayUnit.Origin, mouseRayUnit.Direction * 1000)
What that does is take the unit ray and extend it to be 1000 studs long. This code means that whatever is being placed can be, at maximum, 1000 studs away from the camera's position.
Finally, we have this:
local _, mouseTarget, _ = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(mouseRay, {model})
What this does is attempt to find the first part that intersects with the ray. We extract the position of the part that was found and use that to position the model.
If you're using FilteringEnabled, you'll have to make some tweaks for this to show up for other clients.
You'll also have to add in the rest of the code that you need.
I hope this helps! Good luck.

--- The best answer to this question is to actually make the part through coding --- the above answer is incorrect in my eyes, because it fails to function when testing in roblox studios --- Also, I love to use hopperbins.
