Script isn't returning position more than once

[merry escarp]

I'm trying to write a script that simulates Mouse.hit.Position with a gui, and while I can get the result atleast once, it seems to only update the position that one time and won't get the position again

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local HRP = Character.HumanoidRootPart

local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

HRP:WaitForChild("PseudoMouseLayout")

local PML = HRP.PseudoMouseLayout

PML:WaitForChild("PseudoCursor")

local PseudoCursor = PML.PseudoCursor

local function Get3DPosition()
    local absolutePosition = PseudoCursor.AbsolutePosition

    local unitRay = camera:ScreenPointToRay(absolutePosition.X, absolutePosition.Y)
    local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(unitRay.Origin, unitRay.Direction * 100)
    
    return raycastResult.Position
    
end

repeat
print(Get3DPosition())
--print(Mouse.hit.Position)
task.wait(.2)
until
2 == 4```

put it under player gui

so it updates with teh screen coords

wdym

like put the script there?

[pure bramble]

ur guis position is not changing

[merry escarp]

well I mean it should be changing

[pure bramble]

its parented to the root part

[merry escarp]

because the gui is a billboard attached to the player

[pure bramble]

its abs pos shouldn't be changing

put it under player gui

or something

it will update with teh screencoords

[merry escarp]

put the script under player gui?

[pure bramble]

the gui cursor

[merry escarp]

if I run the script normally, the position does change

but once I try to have it repeat the changing values it doesn't work

[pure bramble]

bc abs value wont change ,its only once

[merry escarp]

the gui HAS to be attached to the character root, because the gui has to be tied to the position of the character

[pure bramble]

i dont get what u mean, maybe someone else can come along and help u

So, when you run Mouse.Hit.Position

you get a constantly changing value

i tried following this post

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/any-way-to-make-the-gui-act-like-mousehitp/2823065/3

I have a frame inside a billboard gui

I need it to return a value like Mouse.Hit.Position does, because i'm trying to make a script where the player always faces the Gui element, because I cannot use hte real cursor

The goal is to get the player to always face the gui element

that is easy... just make your humanoid rootpart face where the mouse hit . and always update it with run service.

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
local rootPos, MousePos = HRP.Position, Mouse.Hit.Position
HRP.CFrame = CFrame.new(rootPos, Vector3.new(MousePos.X, rootPos.Y, MousePos.Z))
end)

with that your humanoid root part will face where your mouse hits .

[patent orbit]

its because you ddint run it multiple times..

[merry escarp]

we cannot use mouse hit.

[patent orbit]

why not

it works

you only need the player then then get the mouse of the player then if the mouse hit something like baseplate.. the rootpart should face where it hits 🙂

[merry escarp]

Because this is a special cursor system that has to be done through gui
