How to get player mouse position without localscript?
I'm trying to get the user to place parts where ever the mouse is positioned. I'm using remote functions. I have a localscript in the tool the user uses. Then a script in serverscriptservice. Script in SSS
function placebrick()
local part Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = placebrick
Localscript in tool
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.RemoteFunction:InvokeServer()
end)
Help please?

You cannot access the mouse directly from the server. Instead, you need to send it the data from the client across your RemoteFunction:
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.RemoteFunction:InvokeServer(mouse.Hit.p) -- mouse position
end)
In the server:
function placebrick(player, mousePosition)
local part = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
part.Position = mousePosition
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = placebrick

... what you do is invoke from the server to the client, not the other way around. Elixcore 1337 — 5y

You have to get the mouse position in the LocalScript and send it as a parameter of the RemoteFunction, then get it on the server and set the part position to it.
