As my question states, whenever I’m trying to set the part to the position of the mouse, it doesn’t work. My code looks like such:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local MousePos = Mouse.Hit.p
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RightArm = script.Parent["Right Arm"]
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
			local Target = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
			Target.Position = Vector3.new(MousePos)
		end
	end
end)

Any help to fix my issue please?

Why are you putting mousePos inside of a Vector3? It’s already a Vector3

#3

removed the vector3.new() and now its spawning in some random spot in the map

Hold on let me see if I can quickly write up something

fixed issue:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RightArm = script.Parent["Right Arm"]
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
			local Target = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
			Target.Position = Mouse.Hit.p
		end
	end
end)
