Need help with part grabber

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I have created a script that can move parts with the player’s mouse, but if the part is moved close to another player it suddenly drops. I think it has something to do with network ownership but I’m unsure how to proceed.

script:

mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	if selectedPart then
		local humanoidRootPartPosition = character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
		local rawPositionGoal = mouse.Hit.Position
		local maxDistance = 15 

		local distance = (rawPositionGoal - humanoidRootPartPosition).Magnitude
		local clampedDistance = math.clamp(distance, 0, maxDistance)

		local modifiedPositionGoal = clampedDistance * (rawPositionGoal - humanoidRootPartPosition).Unit + humanoidRootPartPosition
		
		selectedPart:WaitForChild("BodyPosition").Position = modifiedPositionGoal
	end
end)

You need to set network ownership on the server, so once a player selects a part and moves it, it has to be logged on the server-side and the network ownership must be set there.

You can do this with remote events or remote functions

You should set the network ownership to the player controlling the part (in a server script):

part:SetNetworkOwnership(player)

You can also set it to nil instead of a player to make it always on the server if you want to

I’m confused, its returning that setnetworkownership is not a valid member of the part.
