Move tool from players inventory to surface?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

For example, if a player has a frying pan, they should be able to click on the stove part and have the frying pan taken from their inventory and placed on the stove.
I’m probably not even close.
all i have so far is:

local click = script.Parent

local player

if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(“THEPAN2”) then

player.Character.THEPAN2: CFrame (68.171, 3.441, 112.9)

end

try

Character.ThePan.Parent = workspace
workspace.ThePan.Handle.Position = Stove.Position

You can use Mouse.Target when the player clicks to see what part the mouse’s target is on. Then, you can simply move “ThePan” to that part’s position with a :MoveTo() (this will allow it to rest on top of the object).

well im not sure exactly how to code that. Basically, a player spawns in and they pick up a pan. Then i want them to be able to place it on a part with a click detector already on the part. So the player clicks on the click detector, the pan gets taken from the players inventory/backpack and placed on the part.
all i can come up with is:

local click = game.workspace.Stoves.Stove1.Ring1.ClickDetector
local player = game:GetService(“Players”)

local currentTool = “THEPAN2”

local currentTool = player.Backpack:FindFirstChildWhichIsA(‘Tool’)

if currentTool then

currentTool.Parent = game.Workspace

currentTool.THEPAN2.Position = game.workspace.Stoves.Stove1.Ring1

end

not working

Instead of parenting the tool you should parent the actual object.

currentTool.THEPAN2.Parent = workspace -- 'THEPAN2'` is now parented to workspace, not the tool.
-- now you can get THEPAN2 by indexing it through workspace or if you have a variable for it.
workspace.THEPAN2.Position = game.workspace.Stoves.Stove1.Ring1.Position
-- you forgot to change the position to the Ring1 position.
