How do I send the Mouse.Hit of a PlayerMouse to the server from the client on FE?
I need a way to send/receive the Mouse.hit property of the PlayerMouse to the server for filtering enabled purposes. I have tried before by using InvokeClient in a RemoteFunction to return the mouse.Hit but it returned nil. Here is what I did (I KNOW THERE ARE TYPOS I WROTE THIS UP ON SPOT AS AN EXAMPLE)
----Using InvokeClient-----
CLIENT
1 | RF = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.GetMousePosition |
2 |
3 | RF.OnClientInvoke:connect(function() |
4 | return(game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Hit) |
5 | end) |
SERVER
1 | local GunRemote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.GunHandler |
2 |
3 | GunRemote.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr, Action) |
4 | if Action == "Shoot" then |
5 | local mousehit = game.ReplicatedStorage.GetMousePosition:InvokeClient(plr) |
6 | -- then make the project and stuff |
7 | end) |
I really need help please if you know how to do this/fix what I did then please reply.

I'll show you how i did it
Server
1 | local GetMouse = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GetMouse") |
2 | local mouse = GetMouse:InvokeClient(player) |
3 |
4 | mouse = GetMouse:InvokeClient(player, folder) -- The folder is just what i parent everything to so i can use it later to make it ignore all the objects i need to be ignored |
Client
01 | local players = game:GetService("Players") |
02 | local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
03 | local player = players.LocalPlayer |
04 | local mouse = player:GetMouse() |
05 | local endp = nil |
06 |
07 | local GetMouseRequest = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GetMouse") |
08 |
09 | local function onGetMouseRequested(folder) |
10 | mouse.TargetFilter = folder |
11 | return mouse.hit.p |
12 | end |
13 |
14 | GetMouseRequest.OnClientInvoke = onGetMouseRequested |
I use this method only when I need to constantly update the position of the mouse, the easiest way to do it without updating the mouse is really simple
Wherever you're firing your Remote Function
1 | local Event = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Event") |
2 |
3 | local function onMouseDown() |
4 | Event:FireServer(mouse.hit) |
5 | end |
And in case you don't know how to get the mouse.hit from that you can do
1 | local Event = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Event") |
2 |
3 | local function onEventFired(player , mouse) |
4 | print(mouse) |
5 | end |
This sends the mouses position from client to server once and doesn't update the position, so good only if you need it once
Hopefully you'll be able to figure this all out
