Help with SelectionBoxs and Mouse.Move

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have made a script that creates a Selectionbox into a part if the mouse is hovering over that part. the problem is I don’t know how to detect if the mouse has stopped hovering over the part, so I can disable the Selectionbox. Any Ideas?

Here is what it’s supposed to look like:

and here is what is happening:

local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local tool = script.Parent

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	mouse.Move:Connect(function(target)	
		if mouse.Target.Name == "wallsegment" then	
			local selectionbox = Instance.new("SelectionBox")
			selectionbox.Adornee = mouse.Target
			selectionbox.Color3 = Color3.fromRGB(18,230,3)
			selectionbox.Visible = true
			selectionbox.LineThickness = .01
			selectionbox.Parent = mouse.Target
		end
	end)
end)

You could have it so that it uses just one SelectionBox, then when the player’s mouse hovered over the part, it sets the SelectionBox’s Adornee to the part.

Making some edits to your script to reflect this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local tool = script.Parent

local selectionbox = Instance.new("SelectionBox")
selectionbox.Color3 = Color3.fromRGB(18,230,3)
selectionbox.Visible = true
selectionbox.LineThickness = .01
selectionbox.Parent = player.PlayerGui


tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	mouse.Move:Connect(function(target)	
		if mouse.Target.Name == "wallsegment" then	
			selectionbox.Adornee = mouse.Target
		else
			selectionbox.Adornee = nil
		end
	end)
end)

I hope this helped. :slight_smile:
