Moving a brick with a tool?

Asked 187 views1 answers

I am trying to make so you can move a part with a tool, but nothing happens.. Please help:

Local script (Inside a tool):

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local down = false 
local tool = script.Parent
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
if mouse.Target ~= nil then
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
down = true 
part = mouse.Target		
end)
end
if down then
mouse.Move:Connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.hit.X, mouse.hit.Y, mouse.hit.Z, part)
end)
end
end)

Server script: 


game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, x,y,z, part)

		
		part.Position = Vector3.new(x,y,z)


end)

Thanks for help!!

Calling :FireServer() from a LocalScript automatically passes an initial argument, being the player who called it. You should be catching (plr, x, y, z, part) even if you don't use plr.

Hello, Oficcer_F!

I have removed the tool.Equipped because it was making the script don't run, I also made some other changes that are explained on the comments

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local down = false 
local tool = script.Parent


mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if not game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent) then return end --Returns if parent is not player character(tool equiped)
	if not mouse.Target then return end --Returns if no mouse target(Moved)
	down = true 
	part = mouse.Target     
end)
mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function() --Un sets the bool 'down' and the var 'part'
	if not game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent) then return end --Returns if parent is not player character(tool equiped)
	down = false
	part = nil    
end)
mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	if not game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent) then return end --Returns if parent is not player character(tool equiped)
	if not mouse.Target then return end --Returns if no mouse target(Moved)
	if down then--Moved this to test every mouse move
		game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.hit.X, mouse.hit.Y, mouse.hit.Z, part)
	end
end)

You should also use a Remote Event as your Remote Function isn't returning any value

To make code easier to read, please ident it, thanks

Hope this helps

Good Luck with your games
