Part not spawning in the correct position?

Asked 278 views1 answers

so from these 2 scripts when a player clicks the part does not spawn where i want it to it just spawns in the center of the baseplate aka 0,0,0 localscript:

play = game.Players.LocalPlayer
char = play.Character
mouse = play:GetMouse()
cloth = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cloth:Clone()
spot = mouse.Hit.p

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.ClothEvent:FireServer(spot)
end)

script:

cloth = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cloth:Clone()
game.ReplicatedStorage.ClothEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,spot)
    cloth.Parent = workspace
    cloth.Anchored = true
	cloth.Position = spot
end)

also on the localscript i would like the part to follow the mouse until the player clicks then place the actual part on the server, i have tried it before but failed it only shows where the player would click

Alright there's a few issues in this. For example you are creating the position of the mouse at the start of the script. this should be created when you activate it. Also you clone the Cloth at the start of the script making this only work once. Here's fixed code for you.

Local Script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Tool = script.Parent
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Cloth = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("Cloth")
local Activated = false

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local PositionClicked = Mouse.hit.p
	print(Mouse.Target)
	if Mouse.Target.Name == "Cloth" then -- This is a bad way of doing it but I just made something temporary.
	else
	local posX, posY, posZ = PositionClicked.X, PositionClicked.Y, PositionClicked.Z
	game.ReplicatedStorage.ClothEvent:FireServer(posX, posY, posZ)
	end
end)

Server Script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local cloth = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("Cloth")

ReplicatedStorage.ClothEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, posX, posY, posZ)
	local ClothClone = cloth:Clone()
	ClothClone.Parent = workspace
	ClothClone.Position = Vector3.new(posX, posY, posZ)
end)
