Part placing - GetMouse() is not a valid member of players?

Asked Jul 30, 20181,371 views2 answers

I'm making it that there is a ClickDetector inside the Baseplate, and that if you click on the baseplate, then a part will appear wherever you click, but it seems to not work and gives me the error - > GetMouse is not a valid member of players.

Here is my script.

local b = script.Parent.Baseplate
local plr = game:GetService("Players")
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()

b.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	local part = Instance.new("Part")
	 part.Position = mouse.Position
end)

I'm also confused as to how I would put it on the axis of the base plate EDIT

You get the mouse from the Player, not Players

Now it gives me the error "13:29:44.744 - The current identity (2) cannot create a Player (lacking permission 4)"

###You get the mouse from the Player object, not from the Players service. Also, the property for mouse position is called Hit. You'll want to place this code in a local script under StarterPlayerScripts.

wait()

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function onMouseDown(input)
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
        local part = Instance.new("Part")  
        part.Position = mouse.Hit.p
        part.Parent = workspace 
    end
end

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(onMouseDown)

No errors in the output. Its a normal script. Don't know what's happening.

AnonymousJul 30, 2018#

ohh should the script be inside the baseplate?

AnonymousJul 30, 2018#

No, it should be a LOCAL script in StarterPlayerScripts!

GetMouse is not a valid function of the players service, but it is for the client. Also, the position for the mouse is Mouse.Hit.p

local b = script.Parent.Baseplate
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
 
b.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	local part = Instance.new("Part")
	part.Position = mouse.Hit.p
end)
