Game not detecting my mouse moving from an object

[ACherryPy (cherry)]

Hello,

I’m working on a system where if you face a model with a child of a string value that deems it a point of interest, but a problem that I’ve been running into is that if my take my hand off my mouse and try to walk around, the game seemingly does not pick up the mouse movement at all since my mouse “technically” did not move. Is there a way I could fix that?

I’ve tried RunService:Heartbeat:Wait() mainly, as well as other “if mouse.target ~= currenttarget then” but nothing seems to work. Please if somebody can, let me know if there is something I can even do about this, or if roblox is once again being an impossible platform.

The Code:

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
local ScreenFade = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("TransitionFade")
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local InteractDistance = 15
local currentTarget = nil
local highlight = nil

local function CreateHighlight(target)
	local newHighlight = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Selection"):Clone()
	newHighlight.Parent = target
	return newHighlight
end

mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	local target = mouse.Target
	if target and target:FindFirstChild("StringValue") and target.StringValue.Value == "Interest" then
		local character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		local distance = (humanoidRootPart.Position - target.Position).Magnitude
		if distance <= InteractDistance then
			if currentTarget ~= target then
				if highlight then
					highlight:Destroy()
					highlight = nil
					RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
				end
				currentTarget = target
				highlight = CreateHighlight(currentTarget)
				highlight.FillColor = target:WaitForChild("Rarity").Value
				highlight.OutlineColor = target:WaitForChild("Rarity").Value
			end
		else
			if currentTarget then
				if highlight then
					highlight:Destroy()
					highlight = nil
				end
				currentTarget = nil
			end
		end
	else
		if currentTarget then
			if highlight then
				highlight:Destroy()
				highlight = nil
			end
			currentTarget = nil
		end
	end
end)

if anybody has any advice or help they can give me of any kind that’d be amazing, I’m a solo developer so not really the best at anything since I’ve had to multitask everything. Any help means the world.

You will most likely have to use RenderStepped for this instead of mouse.Move, it runs 60 seconds every frame, so it will account for both moving your mouse and moving your character

Thank you, you beautiful beautiful man, I cannot express how long I have been stuck on this.
