Localscript:

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.Value.Value==false then
		local mou = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
		if mou.Target:FindFirstChild("Item") then
			local e =mou.Target
			local fac=true
			script.Parent.RemoteEvent:FireServer(e,fac)
		end
	end
	if script.Parent.Value.Value==true then
		print('ok')
		local mou = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
		print(mou.Target.Name)
		if mou.Target.Name=="Drop" then
			print('ye')
			local e = script.Parent.Handle
			
			local fac=false
			local pos=mou.Hit.p
			print(tostring(pos).."local")
			script.Parent.RemoteEvent:FireServer(e,fac,pos)
		end
	end
end)

Script:

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(p,e,fac,pos)
	if fac==true then
		local d = e:Clone()
		script.Parent.Name=e.Name
		e:Destroy()
		d.Name="Handle"
		d.Item:Destroy()
		d.Parent = script.Parent
		script.Parent.Value.Value = true
		script.Parent.Parent = game.Players[script.Parent.Parent.Name].Backpack
	elseif fac==false then
		e.Parent = game.Workspace
		print(pos)
			e.Position = pos
			e.Name = script.Parent.Name
			e.CanCollide = true
			local f=Instance.new("BoolValue",e)
			f.Name="Item"
			script.Parent.Name="Grab"
			script.Parent.Value.Value=false
			script.Parent.Parent = game.Players[script.Parent.Parent.Name].Backpack
	end
end)

I think you can try replacing print(pos) with wait() as the tool may still try to be locking the position. If that doesn’t work, you can try making a clone of the part like you did when you picked it up.

@Hellasius Doesn’t work 30charsss

I added this bit of code repeat e.Position = pos until e.Position== pos and it just crashes the game, and I bet using wait() will make an infinite yield, which means e’s position can’t be set at all? why is this?

Yep, as expected, it yields an inifnite yield. What is going on here! Why is noone helping me?

Firstly, a boolean can be only true or false so using an additonal if statement or elseif is irrelevant:

if script.Parent.Value.Value then
    ...
else
    ...
end

Also, try not to name instances the same as properties as Value.Value can get confusing.

I tried your code in studio and a part’s position gets set. The issue is probably to do with the part you are moving / dropping onto. Try printing the part’s new position after it is moved and finding out where it went?

If you want to prevent that delay on the user’s screen you can set the position on the client using the same code and once the server sets it again it will replicate to the client:

		e.Parent = game.Workspace
		e.Position = pos
		e.Name = script.Parent.Name
		e.CanCollide = true
