I've been trying to remake those early Roblox construction games. I know that the old construction tools only work with Experimental Mode, so I made mines from scratch. Unfortunately, there is a problem when you release your mouse. Sometimes it the brick creates the joints but it teleports up and disconnects some other bricks. I don't know how to explain it without pictures.

Here is a snippet of the client script:

local function mouseDown()
	local target = mouse.Target
	if canSelect(target) then -- checks if the target exists and if the target isn't locked or too far away
		local point = mouse.hit:toObjectSpace(target.CFrame).p
		if trySelection(target) then -- sets the selection to the model the part is in
			local objects = {}
			collectBaseParts(currentSelection, objects) -- gets the selection + the target if it is a base part
			--table.foreachi(objects, print) -- debugging
			local s, msg = pcall(function()
				dragger = Instance.new('Dragger')
				dragger:MouseDown(target, point, objects)
				mouse.Icon = 'rbxasset://textures/grabrotatecursor.png'
				--tool.Enabled = false
			end)
			if not s then
				warn(msg)
			end
		end
	end
end

local function mouseUp()
	--tool.Enabled = true
	mouse.Icon = 'rbxasset://textures/grabcursor.png'
	pcall(function()
		dragger:MouseUp()
		selection.Adornee = nil
		lasso.Part = nil
		dragger = nil
	end)
	if currentSelection and workspace.FilteringEnabled then -- checks if the selection exists and if there is filtering enabled
		if currentSelection:IsA('BasePart') then -- tells the server to place the part in the desired location
			tool:WaitForChild('PlaceParts'):InvokeServer(currentSelection, currentSelection.CFrame)
		elseif currentSelection:IsA('Model') then -- tells the server to place all the parts in the model  in the desired locations
			for i, obj in ipairs(currentSelection:GetDescendants()) do
				if obj:IsA('BasePart') then
					tool:WaitForChild('PlaceParts'):InvokeServer(obj, obj.CFrame)
				end
			end
		end
	end -- if no filtering enabled it doesn't send the server the message because the server already got it
	currentSelection = nil
end

Here is the server script:

tool = script.Parent

tool.PlaceParts.OnServerInvoke = function(player, part, cframe)
	pcall(function()
		part.CFrame = cframe
	end)
end

Is this a problem with the dragger tool, or a problem with the code?
