I am trying to convert my mouse.Hit CFrame in my code to an inputobject position and im not sure how to go about it.

function GetMousePoint(X, Y)
	local RayMag1 = Camera:ScreenPointToRay(X, Y)
	local NewRay = Ray.new(RayMag1.Origin, RayMag1.Direction * 1000)
	local Target, Position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(NewRay, game.Workspace.TargetFilter)
	return Position
end

function CamHandling:InputUpdate(x, y)
--CAMERA LOOK
	local LookPoint = GetMousePoint(x, y)
    local CameraDirection = Root.CFrame:toObjectSpace(LookPoint).lookVector
		
	if Neck then
		if Character.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15 then
        	Neck.C0 = CFNew(0, YOffset, 0) * CFAng(0, -asin(CameraDirection.x), 0) * CFAng(asin(CameraDirection.y), 0, 0)
		elseif Character.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 then
			Neck.C0 = CFNew(0, YOffset, 0) * CFAng(3 * math.pi/2, 0, math.pi) * CFAng(0, 0, -asin(CameraDirection.x)) * CFAng(-asin(CameraDirection.y), 0, 0)
		end
	end
	
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Look:FireServer(Neck.C0)
	
end

this is what i have right now, however it doesn’t have the full properties of a CFrame and i’m not sure how to go about getting them for an inputobject position.

Any help is appreciated

According to the wiki, Mouse.Hit has a lookVector equal to Mouse.UnitRay, which I suppose would be the same as the ray you get from ScreenPointToRay(X, Y).

I would try returning

CFrame.new(Position, Position + RayMag1.Direction)

in your GetMousePoint() function.
