Hey,
i tried making a script that places a block, without raycast it just places it behind the camera so i tried raycasting, it doenst work, my error always says “ViewportSize” isnt a valid member of inputObject. What is wrong here?

local block = Instance.new("Part")
block.Name = "Block"
block.Anchored = true
block.FormFactor = "Custom"
block.Size = Vector3.new(2,2,2)
block.TopSurface = "Smooth"
block.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
block.Material = "Wood"

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		local newBlock = block:Clone()
		newBlock.Parent = game.Workspace
		local ray = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera:ViewportPointToRay(input.ViewportSize.X / 2, input.ViewportSize.Y / 2)
		local hitPart, hitPoint = game.Workspace:Raycast(ray.Origin, ray.Direction * 100)
		if hitPart then
			newBlock.CFrame = CFrame.new(hitPoint)
		end
	end
end)

Thanks for the help, i appreciate it!

Is ViewportSize actually a thing, is it not just Viewport.Size.X?

That’s because it doesn’t exist. You could use ScreenGui.AbsoluteSize or workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize.
