Trying to make part size to mouse

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Ok, so basically I’m creating a magic fire system, and basically the size doesn’t update to the mouse. Which I need it to, basically.

User presses F
User can drag the fire, but it stays in the same like position for a few seconds before disapearing.


Video demo: ^
That’s what I want it to do.

SCRIPTS:
module:

local module = {}

local timeUse = 8

function module:AdvancedPyro(Mouse)
	local UID = game:GetService("UserInputService")
	local RunService =game:GetService("RunService")
	
	
	local sizing = UID:GetMouseLocation()
	local cloned = script.Part:Clone()
	cloned.Parent = game.Workspace
	
	game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		cloned.Size = Vector3.new(9.101, 0.101, 0.101)
		cloned.CFrame = CFrame.new(Mouse.Hit.p)
	end)
	
	wait(8)
	cloned:Destroy()
	
end

return module

client:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UID = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local db = false

UID.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,IsTyping)
	if not IsTyping then
		if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
			if db == false then
				db = true
				local module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.AdvancedPyrokineses)
				module:AdvancedPyro(mouse)
				wait(8)
				db = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

Instead of:

cloned.CFrame = CFrame.new(Mouse.Hit.p)

Try:

cloned.CFrame = CFrame.new(Mouse.Hit)

Hit.p is a Vector3 value, whereas Hit is a CFrame value.

ReplicatedStorage.AdvancedPyrokineses:15: invalid argument #3 (CFrame expected, got Vector3)

Nope.

#4 
cloned.CFrame = Mouse.Hit

I meant like this, should’ve double checked before sending.

#5

Works, but how would I make it like the effect show in the video? :slight_smile:

#6

What else needs to be added for it to be like the video? I haven’t done any testing my end.

#7

The effect for it, meaning that it slowly appears & disappears.

#8

Are you using a fire instance?

#9

Yes, I am indeed, which is located inside the part

#10

Just modify the value of this property in small increments/decrements, increase to make fire appear, decrease to make fire disappear.

#11

But it’s all in a part, meaning that it’ll go altogether.

#12

That property just changes the size of the fire emitted. The smaller the number the smaller the fire and hence the larger the number the larger the fire.
