Hey i already reported this on the devforum but im posting this again cuz the old script didnt work excactly right for me so ima making a new one
I have two scripts in my Roblox game. One script fires a RemoteEvent, and the other controls a part that is cloned from ReplicatedStorage and made to follow the player’s mouse. The script works, but there’s a glitch.
In the video below, you can see that the part moves towards the camera when I stop moving my mouse. However, when I move the mouse again, the part returns to its correct position.
Can anyone help me fix this? I want the part to continuously follow the mouse, without moving toward the camera when the mouse stops moving.
Server Script
local tool = script.Parent
local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local remoteEvent = tool:WaitForChild("TeleportEvent")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local part = nil
local lastMousePosition = nil
local partTemplate = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Part")
local function onTeleportRequest(player, mousePosition)
if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) or player.Character:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) then
if not part then
part = partTemplate:Clone()
part.Position = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = false
part.Parent = workspace
end
if not lastMousePosition or (mousePosition - lastMousePosition).Magnitude > 0.1 then
local goal = {Position = mousePosition}
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, goal)
tween:Play()
lastMousePosition = mousePosition
else
local offset = (mousePosition - part.Position).Unit * 0.1
local newPos = part.Position + offset
local goal = {Position = newPos}
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, goal)
tween:Play()
end
else
-- Destroy the part if the player is no longer holding the tool or it is not equipped
if part then
part:Destroy()
part = nil
end
end
end
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onTeleportRequest)
Localscript
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local tool = script.Parent
local remoteEvent = tool:WaitForChild("TeleportEvent")
local isHoldingT = false
local function onKeyPress(input, gameProcessedEvent)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and not gameProcessedEvent then
isHoldingT = true
while isHoldingT do
local mousePos = player:GetMouse().Hit.p
remoteEvent:FireServer(mousePos)
wait(0.1)
end
end
end
local function onKeyRelease(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T then
isHoldingT = false
end
end
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onKeyPress)
userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(onKeyRelease)
if somone needs file to the game i can give it to you
the mouse position currently isn’t ignore the part. You should make a function that check a mouse position using raycast and ignore the part while you are holding like this
local UserInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local MaxDistance = 1000 -- the max distance
local partHolding -- the holding part
local GetMousePosition = function()
local Location = UserInputService:GetMouseLocation()
local Raycast = Camera:ViewportPointToRay(Location.X, Location.Y)
local Params = RaycastParams.new()
Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {partHolding}
local Result = workspace:Raycast(Raycast.Origin, Raycast.Direction*MaxDistance, Params)
return Result and Result.Position
end
GetMousePosition() -- it can returns nil, should do if getposition then ...
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local tool = script.Parent
local remoteEvent = tool:WaitForChild("TeleportEvent")
local isHoldingT = false
local partHolding = nil
local function GetMousePosition()
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local location = userInputService:GetMouseLocation()
local raycast = camera:ViewportPointToRay(location.X, location.Y)
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {partHolding}
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
local result = workspace:Raycast(raycast.Origin, raycast.Direction * 1000, params)
return result and result.Position or nil
end
-- Function to handle key press event
local function onKeyPress(input, gameProcessedEvent)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and not gameProcessedEvent then
isHoldingT = true
while isHoldingT do
local mousePos = GetMousePosition()
if mousePos then
remoteEvent:FireServer(mousePos)
end
wait(0.1)
end
end
end
-- Function to handle key release event
local function onKeyRelease(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T then
isHoldingT = false
end
end
-- Listen for key press and release
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onKeyPress)
userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(onKeyRelease)
–hey thamks for responding here i modified the script and im not sure what im supposed to do can you pls explain it a bit better
It’s better to make the ‘preview’ object in the client rather than the server for the smoothest experience like most game do.
-- Client --
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Tool = script.Parent
local CurrentTemplate = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Part")
local Object
local Place = Tool:WaitForChild('Place')
local function GetMousePosition()
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local location = userInputService:GetMouseLocation()
local raycast = camera:ViewportPointToRay(location.X, location.Y)
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Object}
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
local result = workspace:Raycast(raycast.Origin, raycast.Direction * 1000, params)
return result and result.Position or nil
end
local IsHolding = false
local onKeyPress = function(input, Processed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and not Processed and Object then
IsHolding = true
while Object and IsHolding do
local mousePos = GetMousePosition()
if mousePos then
Object.Position = mousePos
end
task.wait()
end
end
end
local function onKeyRelease(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T then
IsHolding = false
end
end
local Equipped = function()
Object = CurrentTemplate:Clone()
Object.Position = Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
Object.Anchored = true
Object.CanCollide = false
Object.Parent = workspace
end
local Unequipped = function()
Object:Destroy()
Object = nil
end
Tool.Equipped:Connect(Equipped)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(Unequipped)
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onKeyPress)
userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(onKeyRelease)
Can you show me the video why its not working or the explorer, properties of the tool, model? Or any error from the output? Its very helpful to see what is going on
If it helps, this very simple client script, when placed inside a tool and with a part in ReplicatedStorage should work as intended. Then you can modify it with remotes etc.
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local rs = game:GetService("RunService")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local part = game.ReplicatedStorage.Part
local tPressed = false
local renderedPart = nil
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and not gpe then
tPressed = true; print("T pressed")
renderedPart = part:Clone()
renderedPart.Parent = workspace
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gpe)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and not gpe then
tPressed = false; print("T released")
if renderedPart then renderedPart:Destroy() end
end
end)
rs.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if tPressed and renderedPart then
renderedPart.Position = mouse.Hit.Position
end
end)
