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
1 | function placebrick() |
2 | local part Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace) |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = placebrick |
Localscript in tool
1 | script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function() |
2 | game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.RemoteFunction:InvokeServer() |
3 | 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:
1 | local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse() |
2 | script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function() |
3 | game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.RemoteFunction:InvokeServer(mouse.Hit.p) -- mouse position |
4 | end) |
In the server:
1 | function placebrick(player, mousePosition) |
2 | local part = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace) |
3 | part.Position = mousePosition |
4 | end |
5 |
6 | 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.
