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
RF = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.GetMousePosition RF.OnClientInvoke:connect(function() return(game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Hit) end)
SERVER
local GunRemote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.GunHandler GunRemote.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr, Action) if Action == "Shoot" then local mousehit = game.ReplicatedStorage.GetMousePosition:InvokeClient(plr) -- then make the project and stuff 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
local GetMouse = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GetMouse")
local mouse = GetMouse:InvokeClient(player)
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
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local endp = nil
local GetMouseRequest = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GetMouse")
local function onGetMouseRequested(folder)
mouse.TargetFilter = folder
return mouse.hit.p
end
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
local Event = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Event")
local function onMouseDown()
Event:FireServer(mouse.hit)
end
And in case you don't know how to get the mouse.hit from that you can do
local Event = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Event")
local function onEventFired(player , mouse)
print(mouse)
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
