Is it possible to click a part and make it do something without Clickdetector?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I saw many games that a part was clickable without clickdetector and I don’t know why my script doesn’t work, I would like some help with this and I would really appreciate it. The script of mine is a Localscript inside the Part (Part52). The part’s name is “Part52” If you haven’t noticed.

And now I’m actually thinking that this isn’t possible

local TargetPart = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Part52")
local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local Target = Mouse.Target
	if Target == TargetPart then
	
		print("Clicked!")
	end
end)

A LocalScript will only run Lua code if it is a descendant of one of the following objects:

A Player’s Backpack, such as a child of a Tool
A Player’s character model
A Player’s PlayerGui
A Player’s PlayerScripts.
The ReplicatedFirst

It doesn’t work like that. The parts you clicked without a clickdetector were using SurfaceGuis and ImageButtons/TextButtons. Like UI elements

EDIT: Your code may work I don’t exactly know

It didn’t work sadly, but thank you

I am reffering to this article…

Localscripts dont run in the workspace, put it somewhere where it replicates to the Player.

Like for example where? Startergui?

Yes, StarterGui, ReplicatedFirst, StarterPlayer (and Character), and in the Backpack would work.

The thing is I’m trying to make it work with like TweenService so that the part will move from one position to another here is the code I’m trying:

local TargetPart = game.workspace.Part52
local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

local twservice = game:GetService("TweenService")
local part = game.workspace.Part52

local Properties = {
	Position = Vector3.new(34.397, 11.052, 61.055)
}

local twinfo = TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,Enum.EasingDirection.In)
local tween = twservice:Create(script.Parent,twinfo,Properties)

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local Target = Mouse.Target
	if Target == TargetPart then
		tween:Play()
		print("Clicked!")
	end
end)

And here is the error code:

TweenService:Create no property named ‘Position’ for object 'PlayerGui

local tween = twservice:Create(script.Parent,twinfo,Properties) here you are trying to tween the PlayerGui(script.Parent) do
local tween = twservice:Create(part ,twinfo,Properties)
Thats what you want I guess.

EDIT : I also suggest you to use UserInputService rather than Mouse events. reason : Reason
