Hello! Im having issues with Mouse.Hit.Position

The error is , attempt to index nil with ‘Position’ " i tried many solutions and none worked. (DevHub, Devforum)

If you have any idea how to fix this, please tell me.

May I see your script?

Your local script.

#3

There are currently 2 things I believe may have happened.

  1. You are referencing mouse from a tool.Equipped connection
  2. You are trying to get the mouse and didn’t capitalize correctly.
#4

Sure! But i wont send all of the script. (300+ Lines)

HoldGripClone.Position = Position + ((Hit.p - Position).Unit * DISTANCE)
#5

Show the script where you stored your mouse

#6

Can we see where you create the “Hit” variable? This line doesn’t give much for us to go off of.

#7

You still have to define what objects position you want unless its stored as a variable, so it would look more like this:

HoldGripClone.Position = HoldGripClone.Position + ((Hit.p - Position).Unit * DISTANCE)
#8

Ill remove alot of things that dont do anything with this.

--Get player
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

--Get mouse
Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

--On Button1Down
Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()

	--Get
	local Character = Player.Character

	--Check DB
	if DB == false then

		--Set DB to true
		DB = true

		--Get Target and hit
		Target = Mouse.Target
		Hit = Mouse.Hit

		--Check if character exists
		if Character.PrimaryPart then

			--Check
			if Target and Target.Name ~= "Workspace" and not(Target.Anchored) and not Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and (Target.Position - Character.PrimaryPart.Position).Magnitude <= GRABDISTANCE and Target.Transparency ~= 1 then

				--Get holdgrip
				HoldGripClone = HoldGripScript:Clone()

				--Get pos
				local Position = Character.PrimaryPart.Position

				--If Position exists
				if Position then

					--Set
					HoldGripClone.Position = Position + ((Hit.p - Position).Unit * DISTANCE)
					local X, Y, Z = CFrame.new(Character.PrimaryPart.Position, Target.Position):ToOrientation() HoldGripClone.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, math.deg(Y), 0) + Rotation

				end

				--Set parent
				HoldGripClone.Parent = workspace

				--Attachment for Target
				local Attachment0 = Attachment:Clone()

				--Set
				if Target then Attachment0.CFrame = Target.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(Hit) end
				Attachment0.Name = "DragAttachment"
				Attachment0.Parent = Target

				--Set AlignPosition
				local gripAlignPosition = HoldGripClone.GripAlignPosition
				gripAlignPosition.Attachment0 = Attachment0

				--Set AlignOrientation
				local gripAlignOrientation = HoldGripClone.GripAlignOrientation
				gripAlignOrientation.Attachment0 = Attachment0

			else --Else statement is false

				--Reset
				reset()

			end

		end

	end

end)

He probably stored the position variable somewhere.

I think its because the Mouse.Hit is a CFrame value and .Position is a Vector3. So instead try this:

local Position = Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame
#13

Setting .Position after CFrame gets you CFrame position.

CFrame.Position --Return CFrame position.

Tried both Mouse.p and Mouse.Position .

#16

The Mouse.p and Mouse.Position Doesn’t exists.
try Mouse.hit.p and Mouse.hit.Position

Sorry i did typo. i meant the Hit.Position and Hit.p

#18

Well I’ve tried making it
you can try this

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()


Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local Target = Mouse.Target
	local Hit = Mouse.Hit
	
	print(Hit.Position)
end)
#19

Well i can try printing the position, also it errors only sometimes.

#20

Maybe try using a waitforchild()? Maybe the holdgrip or mouse isnt loading fast enough for the code, if thats not right then honestly I have no idea.
