Object dragging system issue

So, i have this grabbing system, that allows you to pick up parts. And it almost works perfectly, but there’s this one issue that is very annoying.

So, when i pick up a part in first person, it works as intended. it doesn’t move from its original spot or anything, until i move it around of course.

But, if i pick it up in 3rd person, the object goes towards your camera, Which is REALLY annoying to navigate, I just need to NOT go towards your camera when you pick it up.

How would fix this?

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until Player.Character
local Char = Player.Character
local HRP = Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local GrabGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GrabGui")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() 
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera 

local Holding = false
local MaxGrabDistance = 10

local Object
local GrabbingForce
local GrabbingGyro

local ObjectDistance

		if Holding and Object and GrabbingForce and GrabbingGyro and magnitude < (MaxGrabDistance + 5) then
			GrabbingForce.Position = Camera.CFrame.Position + (Mouse.UnitRay.Direction * (ObjectDistance - 1))
			GrabbingGyro.CFrame = Object.CFrame

Isn’t this your problem here? You’re setting the grabbing force’s position to the camera’s CFrame instead of the humanoidrootpart or whatever part of the character. So In first person it’d be fine because your camera is in the character, but farther out it’s not in the character.

Yeah, but doing that gives me a new problem.

The Object no longer goes to your mouse.

#4

Maybe try raycasting from the mouse’s position in 6 directions, up, down, left, right, forward, back, and whichever raycast touches a part first The part goes 4 studs away from that position instead of a hardlocked 4 studs off your humanoidroot part or camera.

Iv’e managed to fix this issue!

I simply did this by adding distance from the player to the part, depending on your camera distance:

GrabbingForce.Position = Camera.CFrame.Position + (Mouse.UnitRay.Direction * (ObjectDistance + (workspace.CurrentCamera.CoordinateFrame.p - HRP.Position + Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)).magnitude - 2))
