I’m Working On A TD Game And Finishing The Building System And This Bug Popped Up Been Trying To Fix It All Day But With No Luck, I Would Love Help.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Gui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local TowerFolder = game.ReplicatedStorage.Towers
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local ReplacteToSERVER = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.LoadMap
local TowerChild = TowerFolder.Tower:GetChildren()

local isSpawning = false
local PlaceableLocation = false
local CurrentDecoy = nil
local GridSize = 3

--- Pos

local posX
local posY
local posZ


function SpawnDecoy()
	local Tower = TowerFolder.Tower:Clone()
	Tower.Parent = workspace.Towers.Decoys
	for i, model in pairs(Tower:GetChildren()) do
		if model:IsA('Part') then
			model.Transparency = 0.5
			model.CanCollide = false
		end
	end
	Tower:MoveTo(Mouse.Hit.Position + Vector3.new(0,2.614,0))
	return Tower
end

function Place()
	local Owner = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
	local FindNewTower = game.ReplicatedStorage.Towers:WaitForChild(CurrentDecoy.Name)
	local NewTower = FindNewTower:Clone()

	for i, model in pairs(NewTower:GetChildren()) do
		if model:IsA('Part') then
			if model.Name == "Hitbox" then

			else
				model.Transparency = 0
				model.CanCollide = true
			end
		end		
	end
	NewTower.Parent = workspace.Towers
	NewTower:MoveTo(CurrentDecoy.PrimaryPart.Position)
	
	Owner.Value = Player.Character
	Owner.Name = "Owner"
	Owner.Parent = NewTower
end

Gui.Build.BuildButton.Activated:Connect(function()
	if (isSpawning == false) then
		isSpawning = true
		CurrentDecoy = SpawnDecoy()
		Mouse.TargetFilter = CurrentDecoy
	end
end)

function Snap()
	posX = math.floor(Mouse.Hit.X / GridSize + 0) * GridSize 
	posY = Mouse.Hit.Y
	posZ = math.floor(Mouse.Hit.Z / GridSize + 0) * GridSize
end


Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	if (isSpawning == false) or (CurrentDecoy == nil) then return end

	-- Move Tower

	Snap()
	CurrentDecoy:MoveTo(Mouse.Hit.Position + Vector3.new(0,2.614,0))

	-- Checks If Can Build

	if (PlaceableLocation == true) then
		if (Mouse.Target.Name ~= "PlaceTowers") then
			PlaceableLocation = false
			CurrentDecoy.Hitbox.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
		end
	else
		if (Mouse.Target.Name == "PlaceTowers") then 
			PlaceableLocation = true
			CurrentDecoy.Hitbox.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
		end
	end
end)

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if (isSpawning == false) or (CurrentDecoy == nil) or (PlaceableLocation == false) then return end
	Place()
end)

The Placing Func

function Place()
	local Owner = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
	local FindNewTower = game.ReplicatedStorage.Towers:WaitForChild(CurrentDecoy.Name)
	local NewTower = FindNewTower:Clone()

	for i, model in pairs(NewTower:GetChildren()) do
		if model:IsA('Part') then
			if model.Name == "Hitbox" then

			else
				model.Transparency = 0
				model.CanCollide = true
			end
		end		
	end
	NewTower.Parent = workspace.Towers
	NewTower:MoveTo(Mouse.Hit.Position + Vector3.new(0,2.614,0))
	
	Owner.Value = Player.Character
	Owner.Name = "Owner"
	Owner.Parent = NewTower
end

Instead of this:

NewTower:MoveTo(Mouse.Hit.Position + Vector3.new(0,2.614,0))

Try this:

local hitbox = NewTower.Hitbox
NewTower:MoveTo(Mouse.Hit.Position + Vector3.new(0, hitbox.Size.Y / 2, 0))

Sadly Still The Same Result Occurs

Maybe this will work?

local hitbox = NewTower.Hitbox
local pivot = NewTower:GetPivot()
local rotation = pivot - pivot.p
NewTower:PivotTo(CFrame.new(Mouse.Hit.Position + Vector3.new(0, hitbox.Size.Y / 2, 0)) * rotation)

If it doesn’t work, then set the PrimaryPart of the Towers to the Hitbox and try this script.

local rootPart = NewTower.Hitbox
local rotation = rootPart.CFrame - rootPart.CFrame.p
NewTower:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(Mouse.Hit.Position + Vector3.new(0, rootPart.Size.Y / 2, 0)) * rotation)

Thank You :slight_smile: This Help Me!!! Again THANK YOU!
