There are no errors in OutPut, and it shows in it’s parent, and the transperancy is 0, but i can’t see it in the game.

#22

What do you mean by that? Could you specify a little more?

#23

Is the position the same? Enter as a server and check it please

The position is the same in server and client.

#25

I meant that you forgot to delete the shadow_block ( Gonna say, I don’t sure bout this one ) :

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if tool:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA('Model') == player.Character then
		remoteEvent:FireServer("blueBlock", shadow_block.Position)
		-- wher delet?
		print("script is working")
	end
end)

sorry, but i dont know what yoy mean by that?

#27

Then everything is working correctly, how can you not see it?..

#28

Ah yes forgetting to read the code before answer is the best thing I had ever done ( No it isn’t ), well first of all I read your code and turn out you were going to reuse the shadow_block and secondly, well there’s actually no secondly

I don’t know man, I’ll show scripts again:
local script in the tool:

                                 ---------------------------------------------VARIBLES-------------------------------------------------
local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BuildingSystemEvent")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local grid = 1.5
local blueBlock = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BlueBlock")
local shadow_block = blueBlock:Clone(); shadow_block.Transparency = .5; shadow_block.Parent = workspace.Blocks.ShadowBlocks; shadow_block.CanCollide = false
if shadow_block.CanCollide == true then
	print("BRUH")
end

mouse.TargetFilter = shadow_block

                                ---------------------------------------------FUNCTIONS-------------------------------------------------

function snapToGrid(x)
	return math.floor(x/grid + 0.5)*grid
end

function calculateY(toP, toS, oS)
	return (toP + toS * 0.5) + oS * 0.5
end

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if mouse.Target ~= nil then
		shadow_block.Position = Vector3.new(snapToGrid(mouse.Hit.Position.X), calculateY(mouse.Target.Position.Y, mouse.Target.Size.Y, blueBlock.Size.Y), snapToGrid(mouse.Hit.Position.Z))
	end
end)

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if tool:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA('Model') == player.Character then
		remoteEvent:FireServer("blueBlock", shadow_block.Position)
		print("script is working")
	end
end)
runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if tool:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model") ~= player.Character then
		shadow_block.Transparency = 1
	end
end)
runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if tool:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model") == player.Character then
		shadow_block.Transparency = 0.5
	end
end)

script inside serverscriptservice:

ocal remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BuildingSystemEvent")

remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, block, position)

local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BlueBlock"):Clone()

clone.Parent = workspace.Blocks.BlueBlocks

clone.Position = Vector3.new(position)

end)

Yes, i am trying to reuse the shadow_block variable.

#31

Why are you using two RenderStepped instead of one, can you just make it like this?

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if tool:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model") ~= player.Character then
		shadow_block.Transparency = 1
	else
		shadow_block.Transparency = .5
	end
end)

Edit : Forgot to add “?” lol

I changed it, error still occurs.

#33

Read your code again and turn out its aren’t two RenderStepped but three, well it’s simple fix :

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if mouse.Target ~= nil then
		shadow_block.Position = Vector3.new(snapToGrid(mouse.Hit.Position.X), calculateY(mouse.Target.Position.Y, mouse.Target.Size.Y, blueBlock.Size.Y), snapToGrid(mouse.Hit.Position.Z))
	end
	
	if tool:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model") ~= player.Character then
		shadow_block.Transparency = 1
	else
		shadow_block.Transparency = .5
	end
end)

Can you please record a video? And add a couple of lines to test.

remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, block, position)
	print(position)
	local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BlueBlock"):Clone()
	clone.Parent = workspace.Blocks.BlueBlocks
	clone.Position = Vector3.new(position)
end)

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if tool:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA('Model') == player.Character then
		print(shadow_block.Position)
		remoteEvent:FireServer("blueBlock", shadow_block.Position)
		print("script is working")
	end
end)

did exactly what you told me to do, heres te video

#36

Can you show the Output? Very strange

#37

You can see the output in the bottom of the video.

#38

It’s down there, if you fullscreen the video or something like that

#39

I see, your part has a collision and is it anchored? (In ReplicatedStorage)

Yep, it’s anchored.
