The code pasted pretty weirdly but it is all connected.

Anyway, im making a tower placement system but i have only just started on the client side. when you click a button, it makes you drag a ghost tower( like in most td games ) until you click. but the cursor is hitting the ghost tower. once i get help with that there will probably be another problem. so the placeable area are basicly parts that you can place towers on. That is detected with mouse.Target but the ghost tower would be in the way

Hi! You should checkout TargetFilter. It makes it so that Mouse.Target (and Mouse.Hit) ignores the set TargetFilter instance and its descendants, perfect for your problem.
You only have to add a line of code that would look like this:

mouse.TargetFilter = GhostTower

EDIT: And also make sure that you also always update the TargetFilter to the current GhostTower
