Unable to assign property Position. Vector3 expected, got Vector2

Hello! So I am trying to it make to where when you equip a certain tool, you will be able to place a block that explodes whenever the mouse clicks. It works, but I get the error in the title.
Here is my code (local script:)

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local ExplosionBlock = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ExplosionBlock")

local tool = script.Parent

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local MousePos = UserInputService:GetMouseLocation()

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	ExplosionBlock.Parent = game.Workspace
	ExplosionBlock.Position = MousePos
end)

Code in a regular script parented to the block in RS:

local Sound = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Sound")

while true do
	task.wait(1)
	script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
end

local function explode()
	while true do
		task.wait(1)
		Sound:Play()
	end
	
	local Explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
	Explosion.Parent = game.Workspace
	Explosion.Position = script.Parent.Position
end

explode()

I think I could maybe optimize it by using RemoteEvents or something.

If you think you know what went wrong, please let me know. Thank you and have a wonderful day! :slight_smile:

:GetMouseLocation() gives you the actual x, y coordinates, not a 3d position. You can just use Mouse.Hit instead.

Code:

--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--//Variables
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local ExplosionBlock = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ExplosionBlock")
local tool = script.Parent

--//Functions
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local newExplosionBlock = ExplosionBlock:Clone()
	newExplosionBlock.Position = Mouse.Hit.Position
	newExplosionBlock.Parent = workspace
end)

This might not work btw, I just assumed your current code is in a working state.

It worked! Thank you so much!

But I just noticed that none of the code in the block script works. Can you tell why?

#4

It’s because you’re cloning the part on the client side, but that block script is server side. You’re gonna have to use a RemoteEvent, or do all the effects on the client.

#5

If I did everything on the client, would it look like this?

--Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--Variables
local tool = script.Parent
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local ExplosionBlock = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ExplosionBlock")
local Sound = ExplosionBlock:WaitForChild("Sound")

--Functions
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local newBlock = ExplosionBlock:Clone()
	newBlock.Position = Mouse.Hit.Position
	newBlock.Parent = workspace
end)

while task.wait(1) do
	ExplosionBlock.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
	Sound:Play()
end

local function explode()
	local Explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
	Explosion.Parent = game.Workspace
	Explosion.Position = ExplosionBlock.Position
end

explode()

No, you want to put that inside the .Button1Down.

Code:

--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--//Variables
local tool = script.Parent
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local ExplosionBlock = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ExplosionBlock")

--//Functions
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local newBlock = ExplosionBlock:Clone()
	newBlock.Position = Mouse.Hit.Position
	newBlock.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
	newBlock.Parent = workspace
	
	task.spawn(function()
		while task.wait(1) and newBlock:IsDescendantOf(workspace) do
			newBlock.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
		end
	end)
	
	local Explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
	Explosion.Position = newBlock.Position
	Explosion.Parent = workspace
	
	newBlock.Sound:Play()
end)

It works, but I want the part to play the sound and change color for 5 seconds then explode.

#8

Then use a for loop instead.

Code:

--//Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--//Variables
local tool = script.Parent
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local ExplosionBlock = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ExplosionBlock")

--//Functions
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local newBlock = ExplosionBlock:Clone()
	newBlock.Position = Mouse.Hit.Position
	newBlock.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
	newBlock.Parent = workspace
	
	for i = 1, 5 do
		newBlock.Sound:Play()
		newBlock.BrickColor = BrickColor.random()
		task.wait(1)
	end

	local Explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
	Explosion.Position = newBlock.Position
	Explosion.Parent = workspace
	
	newBlock:Destroy()
end)

It works! Thank you so much!

I’m having problems with another script, can I DM you the code?

#10

I would prefer you make a new post, because I have things to do right now.
