Need help with changing mouse cursor movement for turret script

[hollow ingot]

sorry its so long btw, im kinda trash with scripting and i rlly dunno if horizontal movement with mouse is a thing

[proper ermine]

no

** You are now Level 11! **

[proper ermine]

you can't tamper with the mouse, but you can make a slider that follows the mouses horizontal position

@hollow ingot

[hollow ingot]

im listening

🐿️

how would i make a slider tho, i aint THAT advanced with scripting

[proper ermine]

This is an altitude tracker, you can use the right half to be the slider and the dotted line we can say is the mouse

[proper ermine]

Make a radius box and if the mouse is in that box it follows the mouses horizontal position in that box

since the mouse isn't a vector3, it will have the same position as the box so you can set the horizontal position of the slider to the horizontal position of the mouse

[proper ermine]

(That red rocket will be the mouse tracker)

im gonna be honest but i do not understand any of what your telling me to do, i dont rlly script that much and rlly was just trying to edit a pre made script

i could show you the model of the turret i have inserted

[proper ermine]

that wouldn't really help

it's just a model

[hollow ingot]

i meant the thing itself

with the scripts

[proper ermine]

I can't really help you if you don't understand how I'm explaining

[hollow ingot]

i told you like twice im not that advanced with scripting i was just trying to find a way to make it move horizontally

[proper ermine]

yes and I explained

ok so you track the mouse horizontal position, then you use the horizontal position as the orientation(rotation) for the turret

is that better?

[hollow ingot]

no 💀 i dont even know how to do that either

[proper ermine]

first you will need to raycast then insert a part where the mouse is, then use cframelookat for the turret make it look at the part

[hollow ingot]

i mainly just model stuff i dont script rlly at all

[proper ermine]

ok then I can't help

I'm explaining it as beginner friendly as possible

[hollow ingot]

i hardly even understand scripting since i never do it, its too complicated for me especially since i have a hard time understanding anything :P

[proper ermine]

ok

[hollow ingot]

would sending you the whole thing with the turret script included help? youd have everything you would need

[proper ermine]

you should learn beginner stuff before tampering with advanced stuff

[proper ermine]

No, since you still wouldn't understand what im saying

I would be speaking Chinese to a russian

[hollow ingot]

all im literally trying to do is find a way to make the thing move only horizantally but have no clue how to even do that which is why i asked here

forget about it ill find a different way

[proper ermine]

Yes, and doing that you need to be advanced

[proper ermine]

good luck
