Not completely understanding mouse.hit?
Hey! So I'm trying to make this script where when the player clicks anywhere a part will spawn where ever the mouse was clicked, the problem is that the part spawns but not at the position of the mouse. Here's the code:
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local PosX,PosY,PosZ = Mouse.Hit.X,Mouse.Hit.Y,Mouse.Hit.Z
Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
local MousePos = Mouse.Hit.p
if Mouse.Target ~= nil then
local Part = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
Part.Position = Vector3.new(PosX,PosY,PosZ)
end
end)
I'm completely new to mouse manipulation and i'm trying to get better at it, if someone could leave an explanation on why this is happening that would be great!

Hello there! Mouse.Hit.X, etc doesn't work as you would expect, It wouldn't spawn it in the actual position of the mouse. Just at some point very very far away. You should use Mouse.X or Mouse.Y, (Mouse.Z is not a thing). However, I would just use mouse.Hit. For mouse.hit you need to change it to CFrame
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local PosX = Mouse.Hit.X
local PosY = Mouse.Hit.Y
local PosZ = Mouse.Hit.Z
Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
local MousePos = Mouse.Hit.p
if Mouse.Target ~= nil then
local Part = Instance.new("Part")
Part.Parent = workspace
Part.CFrame = Mouse.Hit
end
end)
If this was helpful please accept, otherwise tell me so
Well even though im a noob at coding, i am fimular with some of your code, maybe you should make the variables for the Mouse.Hit.X,Mouse.Hit.Y,Mouse.Hit.Z separate and in one variable. Hoped this helped.
