well if this is what you’re looking for, then heres the script for it.

--wait(1)
local part = script.Parent
local mouse = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

part.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	local laser = game.ReplicatedStorage.Laser:Clone()
	laser.Parent = workspace
	laser.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,(part.Position-mouse.Hit.Position).Magnitude)
	laser.Position = part.Position
	laser.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(part.Position,mouse.Hit.Position)
	laser.Position += laser.CFrame.LookVector * laser.Size.Z/2
	wait(0.5)
	laser:Destroy()
end)

isnt that exactly what you showed me before? the video i sent is what i have, i need what it summons to face the mouse

OHHHHHHHHHH You want the ghosty thingy to face the mouse, my bad my bad im sorry, I get it now.
Well I suppose you could use one of the scripts that I gave you, like the model one.
Or you could do this. If

local debounce = false
local cooldown = 2
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function(player,value)
	if debounce == false then
		spawn(function()
			debounce = true
			local GB = script.Parent.GasterBlaster:Clone()
			GB.Parent = workspace
			GB:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(3, 3, 0)) -- you dont need spawn function, i dont think
			local MousePos = script.Parent:WaitForChild("gg").Value
			GB:PivotTo(CFrame.lookAt(GB.PrimaryPart.Position,MousePos) -- first position is the origin, second is what you want it to look at
			GB:WaitForChild("Destroy").Disabled = false
			GB:WaitForChild("Shoot").Disabled = false
			GB:WaitForChild("Creator").Value = script.Parent.Parent
				wait(cooldown)
			debounce = false
		end)
	end
end)

You might have to fix some punctuation errors, i didnt edit this in studio

ok, so it works, but for some reason now its looking at some random point instead of the mouse, but i think thats just the script i use to find the mouse, ill review it, thanks for your services.
ok, so it wasnt that, the script to detect is alright, so i dont understand what is going on

after a bunch of testing i can safely say, none of the scripts you have given me work, but its because gg doesnt get the value for some reason

#27

Hi, could you re explain your issue for me.

#28

well, I have discovered that, for some reason, gg (a vector3 value) doesnt get the position of my mouse, and i need it to make my model face my mouse,.

#29

Use a remote event to replicate this

#30

Can you specify? I don’t understand what you mean.

#31

I think this should work.

character = – character here
part = – part here
mousepos = – mouse position
part.Orientation = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector - mousepos

#32

No, no, that’s not the issue, the issue is that the way i use to get the mouse position doesnt work

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local client = players.LocalPlayer

local mouse = client:GetMouse()

local tool = script.Parent

local equipped = false

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

equipped = true

end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()

equipped = false

end)

while equipped == true do

wait(0.3)

tool:WaitForChild("gg").Value = mouse.Hit.Position

end
#33

what if there is nothing for the mouse to hit? like just a blank space

#34

use camera screen point to ray
