How to get a brick to move towards the mouse target?
I was programming a Magic system for my game, when I realized; I have literally no clue how to get a brick to actually move towards the mouse. I understand mouse Targets, hits, and the like, but I've tried methods like :MoveTo() and BodyVelocity, but neither of them worked very well.
(This section is for people who don't understand what I'm asking) All in all, I need a brick to spawn ontop of the Player Character's UpperTorso, and then move to the mouse's Target.
If any of you could give me a point in the right direction, that would be great!
EDIT: Also, here's the code I'm using, if that helps in any way:
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if (key == 'q') then
-- This script freezes the player midair, and has them turn to face the mouse.
RotateRootPart = true
local RootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart
RootPart.Anchored = true
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.Move:connect(function()
if (RotateRootPart == true) then
RootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(RootPart.Position, mouse.Hit.p)
elseif (RotateRootPart == false) then
end
end)
wait(1.5)
local NewGroup = Instance.new('Model', game.Workspace)
local BlindingFog = Instance.new('Part', NewGroup)
BlindingFog.TopSurface = 'Smooth'
BlindingFog.BottomSurface = 'Smooth'
BlindingFog.CanCollide = false
BlindingFog.Position = character.UpperTorso.Position
wait(1.5)
RotateRootPart = false -- Disables the effect of turning to face the mouse.
RootPart.Anchored = false -- Drops the player.
end
end)

-- Local Script
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local inputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local char = plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
inputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
RotateRP = true
RP = char.HumanoidRootPart
mouse.Move:Wait() -- Do this. It's like doing :Connect(function() but more efficient in here.
if RotateRP then
RP.CFrame = CFrame.new(RootPart.Position, mouse.Hit)
elseif not RotateRP then
-- Nothing
end
wait(1.5)
local model = Instance.new("Model",game.Workspace)
local part = Instance.new("Part",model)
part.CFrame = char.UpperTorso.CFrame + Vector3.new(2,0,0) -- Just so it doesn't glitch in char
part.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth -- Use this not "Smooth"
part.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
part.CanCollide = false
RotateRP = false
RP.Anchored = false
while wait() do
part.CFrame = mouse.Hit
end
end
end)
