How can I make a tool able to place?
Greetings, In my factory game, I have some traffic cones which I want to script to be able to place them in the workspace clicking in the part you want to place it.
How could I do that?
PD: I'm a novice scripter in Roblox, so I just know basics, and some other things.

Please give more detail? To place them in the workspace? Like click on a position then make the cone appear there? If so here's a few articles to help. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=CFrame https://www.robloxdev.com/api-reference/function/Instance/Clone https://www.robloxdev.com/api-reference/property/Mouse/Hit casper123123123 357 — 5y

Make a tool place? Ok sure here is code:
(Make a server script and a local script, also make a RemoteEvent in the tool)
In a local script (in tool)
local rEvent = script.Parent.RemoteEvent --the removeEvent
game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Button1Down:Connect(function()
rEvent:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Hit)
end)
In a server script (in tool)
local tool = script.Parent --the tool
local model = workspace.RandomModel --the model you want to clone
local rEvent = script.Parent.RemoteEvent --the removeEvent
rEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, cf)
if plr.Character:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) then --check if tool is equipped
local cl = model:Clone()
if cl.ClassName == "Model" then
cl:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(cf.Position))
else
cl.CFrame = CFrame.new(cf.Position)
end
end
end)
Does this help? If you have questions ask me!
