How do I make a tool that names a part?

Asked 229 views1 answers

Yet, another question. This is a simpler one though. How would I make a hopperbin that finds the name of a part when clicked on? I use mouse.Hit but it doesn't seem to work. Here's my script.

mouse.Button1Down:connect(
function(target)
	target = mouse.Hit
	print(target.Name)
end
)

The error(I'm not sure if this is necessary)

First off, you have a parameter in your function called "target", but Button1Down doesn't return anything. Second, mouse.Hit doesn't return an object, it returns a CFrame. This would be the correct code:

mouse.Button1Down:connect(function() --connects the function to the Button1Down event
	if mouse.Target then --Makes sure the Target exists
		print(mouse.Target.Name) --Prints the Target's name
	end
end)

Hope this helped!
