Local Script cannot detect a vector3 value

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

For some reason, my script doesnt work, its in a local script, and script.parent does contain that instance, I have never seen anything like this, the instance in case is a vector3 value, It is inside of a tool

local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local Position = Mouse.Hit.Position
script.Parent.gg.Value = Position
2

If this is a local script, know that no local script will work in the workspace, could you tell me where your script is inside of?

3

it is inside of a tool inside of the starterpack

4

I think it has to do something with the “gg” part. Is it unanchored and falling through the map? If not do
‘print(Position)’ to see if the script is actually working.

5

How on earth can a value fall thru the map?

6

Its a vector3 value, not a part

7

Whoops, didn’t see that. You should still try to print the position to make sure the script is running

8

Can I ask what are you trying to do with this script?

9

I cant print the position because when i try to it gives me the same error

10

Im trying to find the position of the mouse so that an object can face it

11 
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local client = players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = client:GetMouse()

local tool = script.Parent
local value = script.Parent.gg

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	value.Value = mouse.Hit.Position
end)

You can try this script to change the vector3 value whenever you click with the tool.

12

well, the error persists, “gg is not a valid member of Tool”

13

If that is the error, you can do

local value = script.Parent:WaitForChild("gg")
14

That works! the script doesnt work but that part does.

15

Are you trying to constantly get the mouse vector3?

16

Yes, I am trying to constantly get it

17

This code would constantly update the mouse’s vector3 every frame when the tool is equipped

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local client = players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = client:GetMouse()

local tool = script.Parent
local value = script:WaitForChild("Value")

local equipped = false

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if equipped then
		value.Value = mouse.Hit.Position
	end
end)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false
end)
18

There is a problem, it says that because there is infinite yield possible, it doesnt work

19

Oh sorry, simply change

local value = script:WaitForChild("Value")

to

local value = tool:WaitForChild("gg")

That was my test code

That works! Thanks for that one
