How do I "cut" a brick into multiple pieces?
I want to make an effect that when you click a part, a new part that is cut out from the original part is made.
For example:
gyazo link of what I am trying to do
local cd = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local part = script.Parent
local v3 = Vector3
function divide(brick, mousepos)
local maxSize = brick.Size - v3.new(2,2,2)
local newPart = brick:Clone()
newPart.Size = v3.new(math.random(1, maxSize.X),math.random(1, maxSize.Y),math.random(1, maxSize.Z))
newPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(mousepos)
newPart.CanCollide = false
newPart.Anchored = false
newPart.Parent = workspace
newPart.ClickDetector:Destroy()
local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
bv.MaxForce = v3.new(1,1,1) * math.huge
bv.Velocity = newPart.CFrame.lookVector * -1.1
bv.Parent = newPart
end
cd.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
divide(part, mouse.Hit.p)
end)
Edit: I removed the click detector and detected clicking from a local script but I still need help with the concept of cutting the part.
This is the code I have. I randomize a section of the original part (called brick in the function), then I make a clone of the original part and place it where the player clicked then I instanced body velocity so I can see the new parts. I still need to cut out the sections from the original part.
Thanks for reading and any help will be greatly appreciated.

The following is an example, of creating two identical half size parts, that will appear to have been cut from the original part (the original part gets destroyed). You’ll have to play around with the position and axis, you cant cut multiple axis (to my knowledge). This example cuts the X axis. Hope it’s helpful. As incapaz said, the server can’t getMouse, that’s a client side function.
function CutPart(orig)
--Gather the extents of the new parts
--Cut the x axis
local extentsX,extentsZ,extentsY = orig.Size.X/2,orig.Size.Y,orig.Size.Z;
--Define the origin
local pos = orig.CFrame;
for i = 1,2 do --For loop for 2 parts
local new = orig:Clone(); --Clone and cut
new.Size = Vector3.new(extentsX,extentsY,extentsZ);
--Account position for each side of the axis you're cutting
--Divide in half again to get 1/4th size
local x = (i == 1 and -extentsX/2) or extentsX/2;
--Move in from the origin
local newPos = pos * CFrame.new(x,0,0);
new.CFrame = newPos;
new.Parent = orig.Parent;
end
orig:Destroy(); --Destroy the original part
end
Then call this function in a part...
local p = Instance.new("Part",workspace);
p.Size = Vector3.new(5,5,5);
p.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,10,0);
p.Anchored = true;
wait(2);
CutPart(p
