You’re not accessing the players mouse, You need to access it through player:GetMouse()

theres a local script that defines the mouse and sends it over via mouse.hit

Does it not rotatate, or something like that? I would also try to change up the while loop

while task.wait() do
MagicCircle.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(MagicCircle.CFrame, Mouse)
end

EDIT: Or use a renderStepped function

and im just trying to get it to constantly rotate towards to the mouse

This is supposed to be MagicCircle.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(MagicCircle.Position, Mouse) like it was in the original post.

Could you describe or attach a picture of what happens when you run your current code?

Are you firing the RemoteEvent to the server repeatedly or just once?

If its just once then the part is probably just looking at the position you sent instead of updating with your current mouse position as well.

I think he’s using a while loop but using RunService could be better

If you’re referring to the code in the original post, that is from a server script. We haven’t seen the local script yet so I am just asking about that.

He shouldn’t need to fire it more than once, if he’s using a while loop that can use up a lot of memory. If you fire it more than once.

this is the local script

#14

yeah the only thing wrong is that the script inside the while loop doesn’t work

#15

This code just sends the mouse’s position once at the time of the tool being activated, so it won’t update the mouse’s position on the server past the event firing. You have to update the mouse’s position on the server for the part to follow the mouse.

Since you would need to use a while loop on the local script for that anyways you should probably get rid of the while loop on the server.
