Ball shooting where mouse isn't working as intended

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I mean I should have known this was going to happen. I have 2 scripts that talk to each other via remote event and create a ball where the player’s mouse position is. I wanted it to like shoo out wherever the mouse is facing.

What’s happening:
robloxapp-20220206-0943497.wmv (661.6 KB)

Local script, located inside the tool:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local mouse = player:GetMouse()


local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.throw

local canshoot = true

local tool = script.Parent


function OnActivation()
	local hit = mouse.Hit

if canshoot == true then
	canshoot = false
	print('Activation works')
		event:FireServer(hit)



	wait()
	canshoot = true

end
end


tool.Activated:Connect(OnActivation)

Server script, located in serverscriptservice:

local storage = game.ReplicatedStorage

local event = storage.throw



local function onActivation(player, hit)


	

	local ball = Instance.new("Part")
	ball.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
	ball.Color = Color3.new(0.133333, 0.133333, 0.133333)
	ball.Size = Vector3.new(2,2,2)
	ball.Material = Enum.Material.Grass
	ball.CanCollide = false




	ball.CFrame = hit

	ball.Parent = game.Workspace
	local Velocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")

	Velocity.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge) 
	Velocity.Velocity = ball.CFrame.lookVector * 30


	Velocity.Parent = ball

end


event.OnServerEvent:Connect(onActivation)

You have to do mouse.Hit.Position not just mouse.Hit also I recommend not using roblox’s built in video because you have to download the file.

Ya sorry about that im not sure how to post videos otherwise
Also when i do position, or p, i get this error message:
ServerScriptService.throws:22: invalid argument #3 (CFrame expected, got Vector3)

#4

because mouse.Hit is cframe and mouse.Hit.p is position so

ball.Position = hit
#5

That is in the original code…

#6

What are you exactly trying to make? A projectile like a gun or what? Because it seems you’re setting the ball to the mouse’s position.

#7

You need to move the projectile to the mouse’s cursor not teleport the projectile to the mouse’s cursor.
