Unable to assign property position. vector3 expected, got number

im trying to magnitude the player’s currentcamera and mouse position

(Camera.CFrame.Position - Mouse.Hit.Position).Magnitude

but error on output says: Unable to assign property Position. Vector3 expected, got number?

#2

Are you assigning the magnitude to something? It could be that as the magnitude is the number its referring to

#3

Magnitude returns a number(Specifically the length of the vector)
When you do (Vector3 - Vector3).Magnitude you’re actually getting the distance between those 2 Vectors

The error is that you’re trying to set something’s Position(Vector3) to a number(Magnitude) which isn’t possible. Can we have the full line where the error is?

i’m positioning a part that mouse.target finds

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

local Selected
local Holding

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
	if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		if Mouse.Target then
			if Mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("toggle") then
				if Mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("toggle").Value == true then
					Holding = true
					Selected = Mouse.Target
					Mouse.TargetFilter = Selected
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(Input)
	if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
		if Holding == true and Selected ~= nil then
			Selected.Position = (Camera.CFrame.Position - Mouse.Hit.Position).Magnitude
		end
	end
end)
#5

As I said before Magnitude is a number and when used in this way is the distance between 2 points.

Could you be more specific on how you want to position the part that the mouse finds?
Like follow the mouse?

ohh i think its fixed now like this

local Distance = (Selected.Position - Character.Head.Position).Magnitude
Selected.Position = Character.Head.Position + (Mouse.Hit.Position - Character.Head.Position).Unit * Distance
