How do you use Mouse.Target? (Vector3 expected, got Object error)

Asked by

I've been trying to do this code:

local newPosition = Mouse.Target

but I get some error about it being an object and not a Vector3 when I assign it to things like part = newPosition.

Any solutions?

Mouse.Target is the object in 3D space the mouse is pointing to.

For example, if the mouse rests on a brick, the target would be the name of the brick.

print(mouse.Target)

Output: Part

If you want to use the position of the mouse, try mouse.Hit.Position.

local newPosition = mouse.Hit.Position
part.Position = newPosition

Oh thanks, I didnt realize that. The name "target" is kind of misleading, lol. ShashMouthDZX 15 — 5y

Target isn't the string name of the object the mouse is resting on, print just defaults to it to name object values. InfiniteYield 41 — 5y
