Script works only 50% of the time

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    That it works 100% of the time, duh.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    it only works 50% of the time.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have messed with the variables and angles a Li’l bit.

So here’s what I have right now: let me know why it is only working 50% of the time???

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	print(mouse.Hit.Position)
	local StraightPipe = script.Straight_pipe
	if mouse.Target.Name =="A-Inlet" then
		local pipe = StraightPipe:Clone()
		pipe.Parent = game.Workspace.pipefolder
		pipe:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(mouse.Target.CFrame*CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(180),0))
	elseif mouse.Target.Name == "B-Outlet" then
		local pipe = StraightPipe:Clone()
		pipe.Parent = game.Workspace.pipefolder
		pipe:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(mouse.Target.CFrame*CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(180),0))
	elseif mouse.Target.Name == "C-Inlet" then
		local pipe = StraightPipe:Clone()
		pipe.Parent = workspace.pipefolder
		pipe:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(mouse.Target.CFrame*CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(180),0))
	elseif mouse.Target.Name == "D-Outlet" then
		local pipe = StraightPipe:Clone()
		pipe.Parent = game.Workspace.pipefolder
		pipe:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(mouse.Target.CFrame*CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(180),0))
	end
end)
mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
	if mouse.Target.Parent.Parent == workspace.pipefolder then
		mouse.Target.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end)

please help. I need it.

sorry I haven’t explained the problem correctly, so what it does is it builds one pipe, and then it just builds inside of itself.

It sometimes happens to me aswell.

Can you explain exactly what the problem is here so people can understand the problem and be able to help you?

What are you trying to do? I cleaned your code a bit so it’s easier to understand.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local names = {"A-Inlet", "B-Outlet", "C-Inlet", "D-Outlet"}

local rotation = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0)

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	print(mouse.Hit.Position)
	local StraightPipe = script.Straight_pipe
	local target = mouse.Target
	if target and table.find(names, target.Name) then 
		local pipe = StraightPipe:Clone() 
		pipe.Parent = workspace.pipefolder 
		pipe:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(target.CFrame*rotation)
	end
end)

mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
	local target = mouse.Target 
	if not target then return end 
	local model = target.Parent 
	if not model then return end 
	if model.Parent == workspace.pipefolder then 
		model:Destroy()
	end
end)

I’m not quiet sure, but recently i’ve been noticing that my scripts haven’t been working aswell. It might just be the Servers lagging or having a some slight issues right now.

Have a nice day!
