I’ve seen them in many games as a form of arrows that indicate you in what direction you should go (used for tutorials most of the time) making it very intuitive for the player.
I would like to know what tools I need to use in order to achieve this.
I believe it might be something simple I just don’t know how to do it.
Example:
Thank you!
One way this is commonly done is using a beam; One attachment is the player, the other is destination that they should go to.

The first thing you need to do is make a local script with a beam to use as the template. For example:
Secondly, make a part for the destination goal. Add a attachment to it.
Now, to create a beam between the player and destination, simply set the attachments:
Local Script:
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer --Current Player
local beam = script:WaitForChild("Beam"):Clone() --Create a clone of our template
local function pathToPart(beam, a0, part) --Function to make making paths easier
local a1 = part:FindFirstChildOfClass("Attachment")--Find the attachment in the part
if a1 then --If we found one, attach it
beam.Attachment0 = a0 --Set attachments
beam.Attachment1 = a1
else --If there isn't one, let the scripter know
warn("No attachment was inserted into "..part:GetFullName())
end
end
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)--Every time player respawns, connect beam again
local root = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") --Get humanoid root part
local a0 = root:WaitForChild("RootRigAttachment") --Wait for root rig attachment
pathToPart(beam, a0, workspace:WaitForChild("Part")) --Set attachments
beam.Parent = char --Parent the beam to the new character
end)
Note that a ton of the properties of the beam can be changed to make the arrows look better or different.
