How do I check when a user is hovering their mouse over a certain part?

You could use mouse.hit

Try using mouse.Target Example:

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local plr = players.LocalPlayer

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local mouse = plr:GetMouse()

function ishovering(part)
    if mouse.Target == part then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end
end

runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    local h = isHovering(workspace.TestPart)
end)

The isHovering function would return true if they were hovering over it. If not, it returns false. The one argument is the part

this uses .LocalPlayer, so would it have to be in a local script? If so, where do I put it, since local scripts don’t run in parts.

#5

You’d put it in startergui, and refrence the part when you call the function

would this cause input lag or any sorts of lag of the localplayer?
