How can I make a part go to the mouse position with the orientation of the mouse.Target part?

[ChickHenEn]

Im making something where a part follows the position of the mouse if there’s a mouse.Target. However, Im having a difficult time finding out how I would rotate it accordingly. Could I get any lead/guidance on how to do it?

what I mean:

I want the circle to be on the wall instead of inside it

Thanks.

If you’re wanting the part to face against the wall, then I suggest you learn raycasting as it would be the perfect solution to this

I do know about raycasting, but how would I apply it to this?

Position the part at the raycast.Position and orient it to face the raycast.Normal

You would do something like this:

YourPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(YourPart.Position, Mouse.Hit.p+Normal)

Not sure if you need to use Target or Hit

[CrazyAlternetive (Dpelayo02)]

You can shoot the ray from the mouse’s position to the mouse’s target and do something like

if ray then
   local hit, pos, normal = ray.Instance, ray.Position, ray.Normal
   YourPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(YourPart.Position, YourPart.Position + normal) 
end

Lemme know if I did something wrong as I didn’t test it inside studio yet

@CrazyAlternetive

if ray then
   local hit, pos, normal = ray.Instance, ray.Position, ray.Normal
   YourPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(YourPart.Position, YourPart.Position + normal) 
end

Should be positioned at the ray’s hit position actually

if ray then
   local hit, pos, normal = ray.Instance, ray.Position, ray.Normal
   YourPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(pos, pos + normal) 
end

My bad lol, I just wrote the script without even testing it

[ChickHenEn]

hmmm. Doesn’t seem to be quite working. Maybe I did the raycast wrong?

local ray = workspace:Raycast(Player.Character.Head.Position + Vector3.new(2,0,0),Mouse.Hit.Position)
			if ray then
				local hit, pos, normal = ray.Instance, ray.Position, ray.Normal
				Module.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(pos, pos + normal) 
end

[TenBlocke (Decablocks)]

You need to use a unit vector for your direction that points towards mouse.Hit.Position

local raycastRange = 10 --10 studs long raycast

local origin = Player.Character.Head.Position + Vector3.new(2,0,0)
local direction = (Mouse.Hit.Position - origin).Unit * raycastRange

local ray = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction)

[ChickHenEn]

behavior is a bit strange currently

Connection = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(DT)
			local raycastRange = 100 --10 studs long raycast

			local origin = Player.Character.Head.Position + Vector3.new(2,2,0)
			local direction = (Mouse.Hit.Position - origin).Unit * raycastRange

			local ray = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction)
			if ray then
				local hit, pos, normal = ray.Instance, ray.Position, ray.Normal
				Module.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(pos, pos + normal) 
			end
		end)
	end

Edit: got it to work.

everything you said was right, but the problem was you can’t exactly do this on a circle. (since the “front” side isnt the face of the circle). What I did was made a cube part and welded the circle to the front of the cube. Thanks!
