Is there a better method for getting info about the mouse?

So in the past I've always just used mouse.Hit.p with "mouse" being gotten through :GetMouse() and have never had issues before. As of late though I've found myself having some odd issues where if I were to do something like fire a projectile or the like, the projectile would veer off to the left or right by a stud or two. It's especially bad when aiming at anything with a rounded or angled surface. It just seems to have a habit of occasionally registering the mouse a bit off from where it's actually pointing.

After digging around the method I'm using now is the only one I could actually find on things like forums and other issues so are there any other alternate, more precise options, or am I stuck with the slightly wonky detection? I'm also hoping to find a better alternative as there has been discussion of potentially deprecating the old mouse object after some people have been having other issues such as the mouse just altogether not connecting.

You can use character's look vector if its a first person game that locks the mouse, but :GetMouse().Hit.p is the only way I know Leamir 3138 — 5y

Hm... I'll have to consider that when I step into first person gaming. XxTrueDemonxX 362 — 5y

Just something that I haven't said, you can use the look vector for xy axis but you need to use mouse.Hit.p to the Y axis Leamir 3138 — 5y

(For a 2d game you can use just the look vector) Leamir 3138 — 5y

I'll keep those in mind should I decide to work on stuff like that. Actually kinda planned to work on a 2D project. XxTrueDemonxX 362 — 5y

I think this might work. Insert a LocalScript into a tool and put this:

tool = script.Parent
handle = tool:WaitForChid("Handle")

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(m)
-- m is the player mouse
end)

I'm afraid that this is not what I'm looking for as I don't use tools. XxTrueDemonxX 362 — 5y
