How do I convert a number to a vector3?
I'm trying to make a build tool that places bricks down and rounds them to the nearest whole position. I got a rounding script from my last question however I implemented it and got "Vector3 expected, got number" I was wondering if there's any way I could convert numbers into a vector3 here's what I have
01 | function RoundNumber(Input) -- Input is whatever number you want to round |
02 | local StringForm = tostring(Input) |
03 | local PlacementOfDecimal = string.find(StringForm, ".") |
04 | if tonumber(string.sub(StringForm, PlacementOfDecimal+1 ,PlacementOfDecimal+1)) >= 5 then |
05 | return (tonumber(string.sub(StringForm, 0, PlacementOfDecimal))) + 1 |
06 | elseif tonumber(string.sub(StringForm, PlacementOfDecimal+1 ,PlacementOfDecimal+1))<5 then |
07 | return (tonumber(string.sub(StringForm, 0, PlacementOfDecimal))) |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | function cloneWood(hitTarget) |
12 | local cloneTemp = game.Workspace.WoodBlock1 |
13 | local clonedWood = cloneTemp:Clone() |
14 | clonedWood.Position = hitTarget |
15 | clonedWood.Parent = game.Workspace |

You can't, you have to use 3 numbers Leamir 3138 — 7y

On line 21, you have to make Mouse.Hit into a Vector3. Note that Mouse.Hit is a CFrame, so it does X, Y, and a Z, or three numbers that we can adjust into a Vector3. Line 21 in your code should look like this:
1 | local newTarg = Vector3.new(RoundNumber(hitTarget.X), RoundNumber(hitTarget.Y), RoundNumber(hitTarget.Z)) |
