How To Make A Transparent Model Follow your Cursor?
So here is a script that does several things when you click a text button. BUT... I have a question! So you know how building games have a gui menu and stuff for placing objects and when you click an object, the GUI closes and a partially transparent model of the selected object follows your cursor. How can I do that? I am not looking for a script but just an explanation for how to do this.
partBlueprint = game.ReplicatedStorage.Part
local frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild('Items')
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
frame.Visible = not frame.Visible
script.Parent.GUI.Disabled = false
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.PlacingPart.Visible = true
end)

Lets use the :SetPrimaryPartCFrame() function to move the models
First make sure your model has a PrimaryPart set
For the Button1Down event we will check to see if 1) the mouse.target isnt nil 2) the parent of the mouse.target is a model AND that its PRIMARY PART IS SET and 3) mouse.target.parent.parent == workspace . Then setting the target as the mouse.target's parent. adding that model to the targetfilter, and setting down to true
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
if mouse.Target ~= nil then
if mouse.Target.Parent:IsA("Model") and mouse.Target.Parent.PrimaryPart~=nil and mouse.target.parent.parent==workspace then
target = mouse.Target.Parent
mouse.TargetFilter=target
down = true
end
end
end)
For the move event we will check if target isnt nil and down == true. then we will use :SetPrimaryPartCFrame() to move the model
mouse.Move:connect(function()
if down == true then
if target ~= nil then
target:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(mouse.Hit.p))
end
end
end)
Remember we can rotate the model by adding *CFrame.Angles() at the end of CFrame.new()
finally for the button1up event, we will set down to false, target to nill, and clear out the targetfilter
mouse.Button1Up:connect(function()
down = false
target = nil
mouse.TargetFilter = nil
end)
Final form
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local target = nil
local down = nil
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
if mouse.Target ~= nil then
if mouse.Target.Parent:IsA("Model") and mouse.Target.Parent.PrimaryPart~=nil and mouse.target.parent.parent==workspace then
target = mouse.Target.Parent
mouse.TargetFilter=target
down = true
end
end
end)
mouse.Move:connect(function()
if down == true then
if target ~= nil then
target:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(mouse.Hit.p))
end
end
end)
mouse.Button1Up:connect(function()
down = false
target = nil
mouse.TargetFilter = nil
end)

I agree with @DanzLua but I think it's best to use RunService while moving objects instead of using mouse.Move
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
if down == true then
if target ~= nil then
target:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(mouse.Hit.p))
end
end
end)
