Placeables Positioning Bug

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello I am trying to make a placeables script which is something like building, You have a tool in your inventory then you can place it somewhere on a floor. I have made the script however i have no clue on how to get it to stay perfectly placed on the Y axis. For example it perfectly positioning on top of a table or the ground. Here is the script

local Tool = script.Parent.Handle

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

local NewTool = Tool:Clone()
NewTool.Parent = workspace
NewTool.Anchored = true
NewTool.CanCollide = false
NewTool.Color = Color3.new(1,1,1)
NewTool.Transparency = 0.5
NewTool.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, -90, 0)

local CanPlace = false

local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

NewTool.Position = Vector3.new(Mouse.Hit.X, 0 , Mouse.Hit.Z)

task.spawn(function()
	if (Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position - NewTool.Position).Magnitude < 20 then
		CanPlace = true
		NewTool.Color = Color3.new(1,1,1)
	else
		CanPlace = false
		NewTool.Color = Color3.new(0.505882, 0, 0.00784314)
	end
end)

task.spawn(function()
	Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
		NewTool.Position = Vector3.new(Mouse.Hit.X, 0, Mouse.Hit.Z)
		task.spawn(function()
			if (Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position - NewTool.Position).Magnitude < 20 then
				CanPlace = true
				NewTool.Color = Color3.new(1,1,1)
			else
				CanPlace = false
				NewTool.Color = Color3.new(0.505882, 0, 0.00784314)
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	NewTool:Destroy()
end)

Here is a video of showing how it looks like right now, I want to keep it as simple as it can be so i still understand it.

I want it to be placed like how the normal candle is next to it, Perfectly positioned onto the floor. I want to be able to perfectly position it on top of parts, tables, etc

You need to offset the position you’re placing the tool by 1/2 of it’s size (or ExtentsSize if it’s a model)
