Mouse.Hit.Position Inaccurate

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I’m making a tool that’s basically a grappling hook, I’m using a rope to attach the player, But whenever I use the tool and it grapples, It’s about 20 studs from where I clicked, This is being run from a local script inside a tool.
No output but my print.
Also, The Position of the Attatchment is the same as the WorldPosition.

Video of the error:

Script:

local Att = script.Parent.Web.Attachment1
local Tool = script.Parent
local Shot = false
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()


function Shoot()
  local Att2 = Instance.new("Attachment")
  local Web = script.Parent.Web.Web

if Shot == false then
  local Pos = mouse.Hit.Position	
  Att2.WorldPosition = Pos
  Att2.Parent = mouse.Target
  print(Att2.Parent)
  wait()
  Web.Attachment0 = Att
  Web.Attachment1 = Att2
  Shot = true
  Web.Visible = true

elseif Shot == true then
  Shot = false
  Web.Visible = false
  Web.Attachment1:Destroy()
end
end

Tool.Activated:Connect(Shoot)

I can hardly read your script since it doesn’t have any indentation. Also, just a tip, instead of Shot == false you can use not Shot.

My guess is it has to do with the object you’re clicking on. Is the object a Union/MeshPart? If so try changing the CollisionFidelity to Default.

All of the objects I clicked in the video were just Parts.
I’ll indent it a bit to make it readable. i never have been good at script formatting

That’s fine… I was pretty bad too for a long time. In studio you can select text and press Tab to indent it. Shift+Tab will unindent the selected text. Also I couldn’t watch the video since I’m on service (and it’s super slow where I’m at right now) but it did load. Does the attachment appear at the correct location when you select it?

To summarize the video, I click on a part, And the rope is about 10 studs away from the part I clicked, Also, The attachment is in the wrong place.

Like I mentioned, The Position (local to the part it’s parented to) Is the same as the
WorldPosition (the position where the attachment is actually in the world.)

I worked out a solution to my problem.

Basically, I just created a new part and put that on Mouse.Hit.Position,Then parented the part to Att2 (the attatchment that was causing issues) Bit of a pieced together solution, But all in all it worked.
