So I want to create a mechanic for my team's game where players are able to hold down mouse button 1 on an item and move it around. The trouble I run into is client to server replication.
Is the best solution to use a remote function to set network ownership of the selected part to the player, then cause the object to try and float towards my mouse with a body mover like line force or body position?
The more responsive this mechanic can be on the client the better.

just use mouse.Hit.p and yes, use a remote function, you could also use a remote event
My struggle is what approach do I use to get the most responsive output. Like what constraints/bodymovers, and should they operate on the client or server. Currently ill be doing everything from the client and I’ll use alignposition to move the part
Does the part being moved around need to be seen in motion by other players, or is it a situation like you might have placing furniture in your in-game house, where you can do all the positioning locally (with a local part) and then just send the final location to the server to duplicate, and destroy the local copy?
If it has to simulate on the server for everyone, sending position updates via RemoteEvent to a BodyPosition or AlignPosition instance set on the server is probably as good as it is going to get.
Yeah it needs to be seen by other players. I'll see if I can get it to work on the client first with alignposition
