how to fix?

[supple schooner]

from what I know

renderstepped is interfering

with the inputbegan

thats why

rotation doesnt work

but im not sure

how to fix it

[ruby tapir]

If it's Interfering, it's interfering because you're using CFrame instead of position

CFrame is both for orientation and position of an instance

[supple schooner]

oh

[ruby tapir]

And you set new CFrame without orientation data

Either set wall.Position = Mouse.Hit.Position

[supple schooner]

oh

[ruby tapir]

Or include old wall Orientation into the new CFrame

with the mouse position

[supple schooner]

ok

ah your right

its working

sry im new to making this type

of scripts

[ruby tapir]

Well no problem, CFrame is a bit more advanced comparing to simple Vector3

[supple schooner]

wait

can I get the position to be on the ground

because right now

its sticking half of its size

into the floor

@ruby tapir

[ruby tapir]

well you will need to do some math

you will need to get the height of your Instance, divide it by 2 and add it to the height of the mouse position

[supple schooner]

what

[neat junco]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhmmmmmm

[supple schooner]

like wall.position / 2

?

[ruby tapir]

no

[neat junco]

wall.Position = Mouse.Hit.Position + Vector3.new(0,wall.Size.Y/2,0)

[ruby tapir]

Your Instance of wall is a Part correct?
That Instance has alot of properties, one of the properties is size

[ruby tapir]

that basically

should've let him figure it out himself tbh, but whatever

[neat junco]

he doesnt know

[supple schooner]

yes

[neat junco]

that he has to use the Y

aka height

[supple schooner]

oh

wait

ah

so it is divided by 2

i was right

but

put it in a vector3

and in the current position

i was going to do that

but assumed

it was going to bug it

[ruby tapir]

it won't

When you set an Instance to be positioned somewhere, it positions itself always by the center of that mesh (unless you change the pivot position)

[supple schooner]

how would I be able to make a max distance

for it

hm

[neat junco]

= firstvalue + secondvalue, firstvalue is the main value and it will be used as the part's main position, and the secondvalue is what you add on top of it

[ruby tapir]

Having that knowledge, to position it on top of the surface, you just need to get the distance from the center to the bottom of mesh

[supple schooner]

?

[ruby tapir]

Max distance?

[supple schooner]

for the part

to be moved to

[ruby tapir]

Like how far can you put the wall using the mouse?

[supple schooner]

not that

I want it to be able to only move on parts

if anywhere else, it just stops

[neat junco]

why do i keep saying if instead of it

[ruby tapir]

well check what mouse hits

[supple schooner]

should i use

[supple schooner]

huh

ohh

[ruby tapir]

You're doing raycast correct?

[supple schooner]

no

[ruby tapir]

Check the raycast's hitted instance, if it's of type Part, then let it run

mhm?

[supple schooner]

ah

alright

[supple schooner]

I actually have no idea how to use raycasts

[ruby tapir]

Wait if you're not using raycasts, what are you using then to get world position

Well I get it but I'm not too sure how else could you get mouse world position

[neat junco]

mouse.Target

[supple schooner]

ah

i was wondering what that did

if Mouse.Target:IsA("Part") then

[ruby tapir]

ah it's some service... Nevermind what I said

[supple schooner]

this yes?

[neat junco]

what

you cant put the part on top of an object that isnt a part

man

[supple schooner]

its works

[neat junco]

whats the point

[supple schooner]

oh

then?

basepart

what do

I make it

to

[neat junco]

whatttttttt

what the fuck do you mean

man

[supple schooner]

if Mouse.Target:IsA("BasePart") then

[ruby tapir]

What dan tried to say is that it won't put a part on top of nothing if you put your mouse in the direction of skybox

[cunning fog]

** You are now Level 4! **

[supple schooner]

oh

how would

I do it then

?>

[neat junco]

DO WHAT

[supple schooner]

use mouse.target

[supple schooner]

so that

it doesnt go into thin air

and fall down

[ruby tapir]

well if you want to only put your wall on other parts, then you don't need to do nothing

[supple schooner]

into the void

[neat junco]

IT WONT

[supple schooner]

until

your mouse

moves

back

[supple schooner]

ok

[neat junco]

IT WILL NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[supple schooner]

it works perfectly fine

but

Players.player.PlayerScripts.LocalScript:19: attempt to index nil with 'IsA' - Client - LocalScript:19

this error literally does nothing

except

for slow the movement for 0.1s

[neat junco]

REMOVE THAT PART OF the SCRIPTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[supple schooner]

ok

so

how would I make it so it cant go into the void

even if your mouse

moves there

[ruby tapir]

IT WONT

actually wait

@neat junco what does mouse world position output when not hitting a part?

[supple schooner]

?

[ruby tapir]

@supple schooner you need to understand that you are using a service which returns you the position of cursor in 3d perspective. It uses raycast for that, basically shoots a stright like from your mouse on screen to the closest Instance it can hit

[neat junco]

nil i think

[ruby tapir]

mhm

[supple schooner]

yeah

[ruby tapir]

If it's actually nil then it will just error out and keep the part at the last proper position

And RenderStepped won't break

[supple schooner]

alright

[ruby tapir]

tho I hate errors, that's why I would still check if it has position

[neat junco]

ACTUALLY NVMMMMMMMMM

[supple schooner]

?

[neat junco]

IT DOES HAVE A POSITION

[ruby tapir]

mhm?

[neat junco]

but it doesnt have a target

so

thats why

[neat junco]

it showed this error

[supple schooner]

so which mouse function do I use

oh

[neat junco]

if Mouse.Target then

[supple schooner]

if i put an "else"

might not error

out

[neat junco]

just do this

[ruby tapir]

no you just set your position asignment logic inside of the if block

[supple schooner]

alr

[supple schooner]

huh

?

[ruby tapir]

if Mouse.Target then
-- Your logic here
end

just as dan said

if is a conditional statement and it provides you with a closed off code block

code block is anything that is enclosed, functions provide you with the code block also.

if "condition" then
-- this is if statement's code block
end

function something()
-- this is function's code block
end

anything that you put inside the code block will run when you run it either with condition or calling out the function

[supple schooner]

hm

I see

alright

[supple schooner]

@ruby tapir

okay

im kind of confused here

again

[ruby tapir]

what's up

[supple schooner]

How would I transfer the data

of position

, orientation

to the server

to place the part

[neat junco]

mmmmmmmm

[ruby tapir]

use remote events

[supple schooner]

I did

but how would I?

[neat junco]

remote:FireServer(wall.CFrame)

[supple schooner]

ah

[ruby tapir]

and setup server script in serverscript storage

[supple schooner]

I used position

🤦‍♂️

[supple schooner]

I did

[neat junco]

now in the server script

you would

[supple schooner]

i would put

[neat junco]

part.CFrame = cframe

cframe =

um

wiat

[supple schooner]

function(CFrame)

[neat junco]

ye

[supple schooner]

and use it

yeah

[neat junco]

yes

[supple schooner]

wait let me try it

[ruby tapir]

it would be

wait

it would be function(player, CFrame)

[supple schooner]

what

why

[ruby tapir]

firing remote event from client sends player data by default AND then only the variables you assigned

[neat junco]

yeah

[supple schooner]

oh

let me try

[neat junco]

you have to specify the player

otherwise it wont work

[ruby tapir]

so if you just do function(CFrame) it will assign player to that

[neat junco]

forgot about it

[supple schooner]

well a problem has occured

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Event = RS:WaitForChild("Placed")

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Position)
    local Wall = Instance.new("Part")
    Wall.Parent = game.Workspace.Placed
    
    Wall.Position = Vector3.new(Position)
    
    Wall.Anchored = true
    Wall.Transparency = 0
    Wall.CanCollide = true
end)

server

[neat junco]

in any case of OnServerEvent you have to specify the player

[supple schooner]

--local

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    Event:FireServer(wall.CFrame)
end)

[neat junco]

change that to

Wall.CFrame = Position

[supple schooner]

ah

alright

[supple schooner]

so no vector3

?

ah i see

because there is already an assigned value

to it

so it works

without a new vector3

[neat junco]

Vector3 ~= CFrame

Vector3 = Position and not orientation

but cframe

is position + orientation
