How do I cap player mouse?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! So, I’d like to cap the player’s mouse position (per se, 100 studs from the player’s character).

How would I do that?

#2

You should get the mouse from the player and if you want to get where it is, you say “mouse.hit.p” It works for a lot of others, I have personally never tried it, but I hope this helps.

#3

That doesn’t answer my question. I’d like to cap the mouse’s position, not get it.

#4

Do you mean check it’s distance from the player?

#5

If the mouse is too far away from the player, the position caps.

#6

You can check the distance by using ((player root part variable here).Position - mouse.hit.p).magnitude

#7

I am sorry if it does not work.

#8

This is going to be really complicated. Why do you need it? I’m sure there is a better way.

#9

It really isn’t, I just got helped on scripting helpers.

			local pos = mouse
			local hrpPos = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
			local diff = pos - hrpPos
			if diff.magnitude > 100 then 
			    pos = hrpPos + diff.Unit * 100 
			end

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local function isWithinDistance(distance)
    if (not Mouse.Hit) then
        return
    end

    return Player:DistanceFromCharacter(Mouse.Hit.Position) <= distance
end

if (isWithinDistance(100)) then
    print("Allowed")
else
    print("Rejected")
end
