Projectile not going to where I want it to?
I'm trying to make a projectile go towards my mouse's location, but I can't get it to work properly. I'll include part of my script as the entirety of it is quite large.
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local projectile = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):Clone()
projectile.CFrame = char.LowerTorso.CFrame
local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
bv.Parent = projectile
bv.MaxForce = Vector.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
bv.Velocity = mouse.Hit.CFrame * 50
Any and all help appreciated!

First of all, you are never parenting the projectile. Also, to make the BodyVelocity aims towards the mouse's location, you have to use the lookVector property of mouse.Hit.
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local projectile = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):Clone()
projectile.Parent = workspace -- parent the projectile to workspace
projectile.CFrame = char.LowerTorso.CFrame
local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
bv.Parent = projectile
bv.MaxForce = Vector.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
bv.Velocity = mouse.Hit.LookVector * 50 -- use lookVector
Let me know if you have any more questions or need help!
