  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to know how I can make it so that I can only place an object on the first level, and not on top of parts.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I don’t know how to do it.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have tried YT and Devforum.

Here’s a video showing what I DO NOT want:

May i recommend this post?

You can use mouse.TargetFilter To ignore certain parts/models etc.

that not rlly what i mean, its kinda hard to explain but its basically: you cant place objects on the second level, so like if you place a part that would be level 1 and if you put another one ontop of it thats level 2. so i want it so that you cant place objects on level 2

#4

Still, it’s basically how you would do it. Just set TargetFilter to the objects on floor 2.

Placement System Tutorial - P4 (Roblox Studio) - YouTube here at 9:37, in this video it basically shows what i want to do, i want items to not be able to stack on top of another

#6

but that’s what im saying, TargetFilter will prevent the player from stacking objects.

#7

ok lemme try this and ill let you know if it works

#8

it doesn’t work i can still stack objects

#9

Can you show me the code you are using for the mouse?

#10

local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local folderToFilter = workspace:WaitForChild(“FolderToFilter”)
Mouse.TargetFilter = folderToFilter

#11

It should be

Mouse.TargetFilter = folderToFilter:GetChildren()

or Mouse.TargetFilter = folderToFilter:GetDescendants() if you have models.

#12

i get this error: Unable to assign property TargetFilter. Object expected, got table

#13

Oh yeah i forgot. It has to be a object and not a table so it is actually the right thing. It should work if tthe parts or models are inside the folder. cause it seems to be working for me

#14

yea, im only putting parts and unions inside of the folder but it still doesnt work

#15

Do you get any error messages or does it just not work at all?

#16

i got this error Unable to assign property TargetFilter. Object expected, got table

#17

but that shouldn’t happen if you are using this code

local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local folderToFilter = workspace:WaitForChild(“FolderToFilter”)
Mouse.TargetFilter = folderToFilter

#18

it is not working and i am using that exact code

#19

just also tried using a folder. Idk why but it only works with a model, but that shouldn’t be a issue if you are using it in a script

#20

OOHH, i tried using a model too and it worked, i just need to adjust my one script
