Can I get help with mouse properties issues?
Hello, I want an instance ; a part , to face the mouse once a tool is activated. I have tried many trigonometric functions but it is still not pointing towards my mouse once it is fired.It is a simple script because I am new to RbxLua. I have already searched in the forums , on the roblox wiki and Google'd the issue , but no result till now.
01 | Tool.Activated:connect(function() |
02 | local function weld(w) |
03 | local We = Instance.new("Weld",chr.UpperTorso) |
04 | We.Part1 = chr.UpperTorso |
05 | We.Part0 = w |
06 | We.C1 = chr.UpperTorso.CFrame:inverse() |
07 | We.C0 = w.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0) |
08 |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | local x = Instance.new("Part", workspace) |
12 | x.Shape = "Cylinder" |
13 | x.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random() |
14 | x.CanCollide = true |
15 |

Thank you for your time. P.S : Runs in a local script, no errors , FilteringEnabled is OFF.

Use this CFrame constructor for the BodyGyro, not the part's CFrame:
CFrame.new( [Vector3] origin , [Vector3] focus )
And due to how ROBLOX handles property listeners, you should set all properties prior to settig the object's parent. See here for more info.

03 | local We = Instance.new("Weld",chr.UpperTorso) |
04 | We.Part1 = chr.UpperTorso |
05 | We.Part0 = w |
06 | We.C1 = chr.UpperTorso.CFrame:inverse() |
07 | We.C0 = w.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0) |
08 | end |
09 | local x = Instance.new("Part") |
10 | x.Shape = "Cylinder" |
11 | x.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random() |
12 | x.CanCollide = true |
13 | x.Parent = workspace --Parent after setting properties |
14 | local bg = Instance.new("BodyGyro") |
15 | bg.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge) |

Thank you for the heads up on roblox handling parents, but : "Issue not resolved." This problem is not fixed , part still turns the wrong face when I click. Oh well , I will try a ray caster instead. Thank you for trying to help. arshad145 392 — 7y
