I've looked online for this and found some things, but not what I wanted. I found scripts to make a brick draggable, but u could also drag everything else. I've been scripting for over a year but im still not advanced enough to do this. If you could explain it on simple terms or show me how I would do this please help lol (Also I dont want a tool to have to be used)

if you looked for something could you post it? User#19524 175 — 5y

I only found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW8K6FblwvI and I found a forum post earlier on how to do it with a tool barrettr500 53 — 5y

heres the edited answer; u may notice that it was only a slight edit

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local mousetarget
local grabbing = false

mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
    mousetarget = mouse.Target
    local purchase = mousetarget:FindFirstChild("Purchase")

    if purchase ~= nil and purchase.Value == true then
        mouse.TargetFilter = mousetarget
        grabbing = true
    end
end)

mouse.Move:connect(function()
    if grabbing == true then
        mousetarget.Position = mouse.Hit.p
    end
end)

mouse.Button1Up:connect(function()
    grabbing = false
    mouse.TargetFilter = nil
end)

it uses the mouse targefilter tho if thats ok TheluaBanana 946 — 5y

the targetfilter should be fine theking48989987 2147 — 5y

also, wouldn't a renderstepped event also work? theking48989987 2147 — 5y

and there is a couple of minor convention errors, for one, mouse.Hit.p should now be mouse.Hit.Position and connect was deprecated in favor of Connect theking48989987 2147 — 5y
