Helicopter spotlight issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am attempting to make it so when you are in a helicopter, you can press the L key, a spotlight will enable, and it will highlight over where your mouse is.

However, this is inaccurate, and just not working well at all, as you can see in this video: https://youtu.be/ZMMf3Twu1kY

The code for this is attached:

Client

local function onRenderStep()
	if spotlightOn then
		local success,errMsg  = pcall(function()
			if mouse.Target.CanCollide == false then return end
			local mousePos = game:GetService('UserInputService'):GetMouseLocation()
			local unitRay = workspace.CurrentCamera:ScreenPointToRay(mousePos.X,mousePos.Y)

			local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(unitRay.Origin,unitRay.Direction*800)
			game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').HelicopterEvents.SpotlightEvent:FireServer('move',raycastResult.Position)
		end)
	end
end

game:GetService('RunService').RenderStepped:Connect(onRenderStep)

Server

HelicopterEvents.SpotlightEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,req,pos)
	if req == 'disable' then
		script.Parent.Parent.BodyKit.Spotlight.Vidro.Beam.Enabled = false
		script.Parent.Parent.BodyKit.Spotlight.Vidro.SpotLight.Enabled = false
	end
	if req == 'move' then
		script.Parent.Parent.BodyKit.Spotlight.Part.Attachment.Position = pos
	end
end)

Any help is appreciated

replace MousePos with this

local mousePos = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Hit

then change the properties of the serverscript accordingly:

script.Parent.Parent.BodyKit.Spotlight.Part.Attachment.Position = pos.lookVector

the reason why you put .Hit, well thats on roblox’s side.
