I have a script that moves a part to the 3D position of a player's mouse cursor. In order to stop the cursor from following the camera, I decided to have the location of the part stop moving on a given access once the difference between the part and player exceeds a set range. However, I'm getting the error "attempt to perform arithmetic (sub) on Vector3 and number" whenever the range is exceeded. What should I do?

print mp3dpos and distance mag and range mag
ts lowkey hard to read

magnitude seems to be a regular number

** You are now Level 10! **
winter seal
yep
nimble bronze
and you can minus numbers from a vector 3
winter seal
mp3dpos is a vector 3 I assume
rugged yarrow
The .Origin returns a vector if I remember correctly
nimble bronze
yeah so it is a vector 3
winter seal
so should i just do each axis individually
nimble bronze
yh that's what I would try
probably a better way of going about it
but see if that works
winter seal
try mp3dpos -= Vector3.new(distance.X * range, etc)
yeah i figured it out thanks to a forum post. the good news is no more syntax errors but the bad news is the cursor just disappears upon exceeding the range
i just want it to stop where it is upon exceeding the range
nimble bronze
I'm not sure about what the maths behind that would be
winter seal
ah kk
yeah theres def some formula i gotta get
thx for the help w the syntax error thing tho
nimble bronze
no problem

yeah theres def some formula i gotta get
string.split(vector3value,", ")[1]
well
you would do for i = 1,#string.split(vector3value,", ") do
then you would go like
im lying
just do vector3.New(string.split(vector3value,", ")[1],string.split(vector3value,", ")[2],string.split(vector3value,", ")[3])
that should do
it makes the string into a vector 3
wait
okay
ill write the whole script here
local vectortable = string.split(vectorvariable,", "
local x = vectortable[1]
local y = vectortable[2]
local z = vectortable[3]
-- do subtracting here
vector3.New(x,y,z)
boom
yourwelcome
50 robux pl;ease
wait
FUCK
local vectortable = string.split(vectorvariable,", "
local x = tonumber(vectortable[1])
local y = tonumber(vectortable[2])
local z = tonumber(vectortable[3])
-- do subtracting here
vector3.New
(x,y,z)
thats thew script that will work
replace vector variable with whatever u need
all in a days work
winter seal
```lua
local vectortable = string.split(vectorvariable,", "
local x = tonumber(...
im a noob (5 days of scripting experience total) and have never seen this before, can you explain what this is and how it works plz?

vector 3 value is a string. you cannot subtract strings, so to subtract them we must use string.split,
tonumber turns the strings from string.split into numbers so they are subrtractable
