How to see where the player clicked

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, im making a gun system inspired in Isle game, and for it i need to see what part the player clicked in workspace, but idk how to make this

Could anyone help me?

The script

local tool = script.Parent
local shoot_part = tool:WaitForChild("FirePart")
local remote = tool:WaitForChild("OnShoot")

local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, position)
	local origin = shoot_part.Position
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

	player:GetMouse()
	--???
end)
#2 
local tool = script.Parent
local shoot_part = tool:WaitForChild("FirePart")
local remote = tool:WaitForChild("OnShoot")

local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, position)
	local origin = shoot_part.Position
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

	local mouse = player:GetMouse()
	local Location = mouse.hit.p
end)
#3

use the mouse.hit.p function to find out the pos

local tool = script.Parent
local shoot_part = tool:WaitForChild("FirePart")
local remote = tool:WaitForChild("OnShoot")

local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, position)
	local origin = shoot_part.Position
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local mouse = player:GetMouse()
	mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		local mousePos = mouse.Hit.p
		
	end)
end)

To get the mouse position whenever the local player left clicks.

You can’t use GetMouse on a server script, and you can’t get the local player on the server as well. You’ll have to change it to look a bit like this:

--Client (Local script)
--Do whatever blah blah blah
--local mouse = player:GetMouse() --Replace player with the LocalPlayer/The variable containing local player
--fire the remote event with this (mouse.Target,mouse.Hit.p (optional), etc.)

--Server (Server script, normal script)
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, target, position)
	local origin = shoot_part.Position
     --The target is the part that the mouse is targeting :)
end)

Oh thx! this script also worked like corn’s script, but a lil bit simpler!

#11

Oh thx! a lot of people replied here lol, also its a local script

No problem, you can also switch between mouse.Hit & mouse.Hit.p, the first will return a CFrame value and the second a Vector3 value, it all depends on what you prefer to use/find easier.

Here you can take a look at all of the properties, functions & events which are tied to the mouse.

local tool = script.Parent
local shoot_part = tool:WaitForChild("FirePart")
local remote = tool:WaitForChild("OnShoot")

local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, position)
	local origin = shoot_part.Position
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local mouse = player:GetMouse()
	local targetPart = mouse.Target
	print(targetPart.Name)
	--perform some code here
end)

Modifying my script from earlier, the “Target” property will get the part instance in the workspace which is currently being targeted by the mouse.
