I want to make it so when you click anywhere on a Tool, it Clones the model to where the Player's mouse clicks. Does anyone know how to get started on this?

How do you make it so when you click anywhere with a Tool it clones a Model?

Assuming your model is in the ReplicatedStorage service (which it should be), this LocalScript (which should be placed in the StarterGui or StarterPack) will put a clone of that model wherever the user clicks. Only when a part is clicked, of course.
NOTE: This also checks and will work with a part or a model.
local p = Game.Players.LocalPlayer
local m = p:GetMouse();
local model = Game.ReplicatedStorage['Model Name'];
m.Button1Down:connect(function()
if m.Target then
local x = model:Clone()
if x:IsA("Model") then
x.Parent = Workspace
x:MoveTo(m.Hit.p)
elseif x:IsA("BasePart") then
x.Parent = Workspace
x.Position = m.Hit.p
end
end
end)
For getting the position where the Player's mouse clicks use mouse.Hit. Then :Clone() the model from ReplicatedStorage.

It didn't work. I clicked on the Base and nothing happened, and same with a Part. I also changed the Model name to the Model and put it in ReplicatedStorage,
I've edited to fix the bug. I was using MouseButton1Down when it should be Button1Down. The clone was also never parented.
Thank's it works. But I have a question. Whenever I click it makes the Model. Do you know how to fix it so it only clones when you click with the Tool? I even put the script in the tool but it clones without it.
Shouldn't be too difficult. Learn how to use the Equipped event of a tool to get the mouse. Instead of using 'm' from GetMouse(), use the Equipped event of a tool to get the mouse.
