Finding a child of the mouse's target?
In the game that I'm making I require that when the mouse hovers over something, it checks if it has a certain child and then runs a script. Heres what I tried that didn't work:
1 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | local mouse = player:GetMouse() --Getting the player's mouse |
3 |
4 | mouse.Move:connect(function() --When the mouse moves |
5 | local target = mouse.Target |
6 | if target:FindFirstChild(game.Workspace.Build.Object.Value) then |
7 | --do this |
8 | end |
9 | end) |

EDIT: So this is a localscript that'll get the player's mouse movements. If the target of the mouse has a child named the same as a StringValue in 'Object' -- Child of Build.
LocalScript
01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local mouse = player:GetMouse() --Getting the player's mouse |
03 |
04 | mouse.Move:connect(function() -- connect the function |
05 | local target = mouse.Target -- Get the mouse target |
06 | if target then -- if the mouse is targeting something, if not, no need to run the script |
07 | local check = target:FindFirstChild(game.Workspace.Build.Object.Value) -- Make sure the Value is a String/Object Value |
08 | if check then -- Now we see if the target has a child named of that value |
09 | print("Test") -- Do whatever here |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end) |
You should get a basic understanding of how to do this!
Hope this helps!
You want to check if the target of your mouse has a certain child, so why are you checking through game.workspace? I don't know what child you want it to look after but if we say it's Object for example then:
if target:FindFirstChild("Object") then
There is no reason to check through the whole workspace because then you're not even checking after the targets children which will not work with FindFirstChild. And Value is not a child of anything, it's a property.
