Block placement system

I need help making a block placement system like Roblox BedWars. I have come across a few posts on this already, but I can’t quite seem to grasp the solution. I have intermediate scripting knowledge. Any help is a appreciated :slight_smile:

First, let’s divide it into some simple steps.

  1. Detect that player wants to place a block (in LocalScript using UserInputService, we will fire a RemoteEvent to the server)
  2. Detect where player wants to place block (via RemoteFunction)
  3. Some anti-cheat checks (y̶̡̰̏o̸̲͖̓u̵̻̻͊͘ ̸̧̇ͅȁ̸͇ȑ̶̘ề̵̡͈ ̸̢̦́̃n̸͔̎e̷̮͋̒v̷͙̠̉͝e̶͔̒r̶̗͒͜ ̶̘͉͊͠s̸̮͠a̷̰̖͐̀f̶̛̣̗͝e̷̙̒͘͜ ̴͈̟́̚f̸̯͑ř̴̭̙o̷̤̾͋m̸̖̩̆ ̴̧͌̂t̴̠̓h̶͔̅̿ĕ̶͙̻ḿ̴̛̥̖) (on server script!)
  4. Create a new part and place it right where the mouse hit position was.
  5. The part will be inside other parts - we will have to adjust its position (we will offset it by half its size, depending on where it collides)

You are done.
I am not currently in studio, can’t show you any examples unfortunately.

edit: forgot to add we will also have to check if part fits

I should have mentioned, the main thing I want to achieve is the bridging aspect of BedWars. How would I do that?

#4

I also found this post, where someone said: “Create an invisible plane 1 block below the player with math. If the player’s ray goes past it, find the point at which the ray was intersected and place a block there.”

I’m not quite sure how I would do that, maybe you tell me?

I don’t play BedWars, I have no clue what does bridging involve. Can you show a video?

Yeah I know how to make a simple placement system, but I want a bit more than that. Here’s a little video bridging: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m6nwbemyiY
