mouse.TargetFilter not working as intended

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Here I’m trying to move a model, it moves. The thing is it is moving in very inconsistent increments while I havent even set any increments in the positionModel() function. I believe it’s something to do with mouse.TargetFilter, but I’ve tried everything I could think of.

Heres my code:

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local placeItems = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("HouseItems")
local placementEvents = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PlacementEvents")

local placingModel

local placing = false
----------- [ FUNCTIONS ] ----------

		print("ep")
		if placeItems:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Text:lower()) then
			print("found")
			local newObj = placeItems:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Text:lower()):Clone()
			newObj.Parent = workspace
			placingModel = newObj
			placing = true
			print(newObj.Name)
			print("done")
			placeModel()
			mouse.TargetFilter = placingModel
		end
	else
		print(input)
		return
	end
end)


local function serverPlace(name, pos, rot)
	placementEvents.PlaceEvent:FireServer(name, pos, rot) -- args later
end

local function rotateModel()
	local Part = placingModel.PrimaryPart
	placingModel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Part.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0))
	
end

local function positionModel()
	placingModel:MoveTo(Vector3.new(mouse.Hit.X, plot.Position.Y, mouse.Hit.Z))
end

function placeModel()
	while placing == true do
		wait()
		if mouse.Target then
			if mouse.Target == plot and mouse.TargetSurface == Enum.NormalId.Top then
				wait()
				positionModel()			
			end
		end
	end
end


local function completePlacement()
	local name = placingModel.Name
	placing = false
	serverPlace(name, placingModel.Hitbox.Position, placingModel.PrimaryPart.CFrame)
	print("pn"..name)
	placingModel:Destroy()
end
----------- [ EVENTS ] -------------

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gp)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R and not gp then
		rotateModel()

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if placing == true then
		completePlacement()
	end
end)

It’s probbly because you are using MoveTo, I don’t recommend using it as I had same problems. I can’t really give any other Solution right now though.
