I Need Help Removing Character of Local Player from Mouse.TargetFilter

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to allow the character of the Local Player to be found using Mouse.Target

  2. What is the issue? The character of the Local Player is ignored by the mouse/ is already on the Mouse.TargetFilter list by default, is there any way to change this?

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I already tried looking for ways to do what I want but I found nothing that helps me. So I came on here and posted this topic hoping someone can help me.

yes, but you have to remake the Mouse.Hit property using a ray. Like this:

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()

function getMouseHitIncludingChar()
    local vector = mouse.Hit.p - camera.CFrame.p
    local ray = workspace:Raycast(camera.CFrame.p, vector.Unit * (vector.Magnitude + 5), RaycastParams.new())
    return ray and CFrame.lookAt(ray.Position, ray.Position + ray.Normal) or nil
end

local mouseHit = getMouseHitIncludingChar()

This solves one problem (Mouse can now touch player), but it cannot tell me what exactly the mouse is touching, which doesn’t really solve the original problem I wanted help with.

How so? You can get anything you need to with a ray.

All I’m getting with this ray is just a CFrame (in print() and I can’t get anything else out of it), sorry if I seem a little dumb lol, I have never used RayCasting until now. Here are the parts of the script you need to see (not complete script), please tell me if I’m doing something wrong.

-- RayCastParams
local RayCastParamThing =  RaycastParams.new()
RayCastParamThing.FilterType  = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
RayCastParamThing.FilterDescendantsInstances = {script.Parent}
RayCastParamThing.IgnoreWater = true

-- function
function getMouseHitIncludingChar()
	local vector = Mouse.Hit.p - game.workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.p
	local ray = workspace:Raycast(game.workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.p, vector.Unit * (vector.Magnitude + 5), RayCastParamThing)
	return ray and CFrame.lookAt(ray.Position, ray.Position + ray.Normal) or nil
end

-- constant updater of the Green Circle's Position.
repeat
	local mouseHit = getMouseHitIncludingChar()
	print(mouseHit) -- This just gives a CFrame
	Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		if HoldingDebounce == true then
			ClickDebounce = true
		end
	end)
	--	GreenCircle.Position = Mouse.Hit.Position
	GreenCircle.CFrame = mouseHit
	GreenCircle.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,0,90)
	wait(.001)
until ClickDebounce == true

I found a solution, by changing one of the lines

I replaced the original return section with return ray, and added (:Instance:GetFullName()) to the end of mouseHit which gave me what I was looking for!

-- function
function getMouseHitIncludingChar()
	local vector = Mouse.Hit.p - game.workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.p
	local ray = workspace:Raycast(game.workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.p, vector.Unit * (vector.Magnitude + 5), RayCastParamThing)
	--return ray and CFrame.lookAt(ray.Position, ray.Position + ray.Normal) or nil
    return ray
end
local mouseHit = getMouseHitIncludingChar()

print(mouseHit.Instance:GetFullName())
-- workspace.ilovegohan.HumanoidRootPart
