MousePos script:

local tool = script.Parent
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

local Remote1 = tool.Spawn_Boner

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local mousePos = mouse.Hit.Position
	print(mousePos)
	if script.Parent.Selected.Value == 1 then
		Remote1:FireServer(plr, mousePos)
	end
end)

Spawning script:

local tool = script.Parent

local Remote1 = tool.Spawn_Boner

Remote1.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, mousePos)
	local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage.Halloween_Event_2022.Ennemy.Boner:Clone()
	clone.Parent = workspace
	
	print(mousePos)
	clone.HumanoidRootPart.Position = mousePos
end)

Output of the MousePos script:

Output of the Spawn script:

For some reason, the value seem to be changing from the mouse position (X,Y,Z) to an instance (game.Players.LocalPlayer)

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

its because when you recieve the remote event, the plr variable will be transferred automatically. therefore there is no need to add plr in the local script/mousepos script
