How to create a cursor that a part follows

Hello,
I created a frame (the cursor) and placed it in the middle of the screen. I want a part to follow this cursor when the player moves but I can’t do it.
Thanks to anyone who could help me : )

You should read this whenever you want to know something related to a mouse.

Also here’s relevant a section of the page:

Hit

This property indicates CFrame of the mouse’s position in 3D space. Note that Mouse.TargetFilterand its descendants will be ignored.

Developers can get obtain the position of Hit like so:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local position = mouse.Hit.p -- Maybe put your part in this position.

Your terms are a bit confusing when you say “cursor” do you mean like a crosshair that stays in the middle of the screen?

To my understanding, you want something like this?

--[[ Local Script ]]--
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local Frame = script.Parent

local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Parent = game.Workspace
part.Anchored = true
part.Size = Vector3.new(2, 2, 2)
part.Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)

local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {part}

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local position = Frame.AbsolutePosition
	local size = Frame.AbsoluteSize
	local unitRay = Camera:ScreenPointToRay(position.X + size.X/2, position.Y + size.Y/2)
	
	local raycastResult = game.Workspace:Raycast(unitRay.Origin, unitRay.Direction * 1000, raycastParams)
	local frameWorldSpace = raycastResult and raycastResult.Position or unitRay.Origin + unitRay.Direction * 1000
	
	part.Position = frameWorldSpace
end)
