I'm making a game where you click an area and a brick spawns there, I'm currently stuck with how to find out where the player is clicking.

How would I get where the player is clicking?

Put this code in a local script inside a tool. This code will place a block with the center of the block where the mouse clicked. You can change the size of the block and other variables for it in the part() function. I don't know how much this helped, but if you have questions feel free to add me on skype and ask me there. mstrgmrs is my skype.
local tool = script.Parent;
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse();
function part(pos)
local part = Instance.new("Part", workspace);
part.FormFactor = Enum.FormFactor.Custom;
part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon;
part.Size = Vector3.new(2, 1, 2);
part.CFrame = pos;
part.Rotation = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0);
part.Anchored = true;
part.CanCollide = false;
part.Transparency = 0;
return part;
end;
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
script.Parent.Activated:connect(function()
part(mouse.Hit);
end);
end);
This code here will make the block placed go to the nearest whole stud
local tool = script.Parent;
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse();
function part(pos)
local part = Instance.new("Part", workspace);
part.FormFactor = Enum.FormFactor.Custom;
part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon;
part.Size = Vector3.new(2, 1, 2);
part.CFrame = CFrame.new(math.floor(pos.x), math.floor(pos.y), math.floor(pos.z));
part.Rotation = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0);
part.Anchored = true;
part.CanCollide = false;
part.Transparency = 0;
return part;
end;
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
script.Parent.Activated:connect(function()
part(mouse.Hit);
end);
end);
The only difference between the two is the math.floor() for the position instead of the exact position.

I made a laser that shoots where the user clicks, Would you want me to show you the code for that?
I'm trying to convert it to place a block
Could you also explain it please?
I dont just want the code, I want to walk away knowing how I could do more things like this in the future
If you have skype I can screen share and show you the code and give you a walk through. I just made it so that it places the block.
