When using userinputservice I try to get the player’s mouse location in a 3D space yet the ray that gets casted seems to be lower than the player’s mouse by what seems around a stud

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local mouse = uis:GetMouseLocation()
local ray = camera:ScreenPointToRay(mouse.X, mouse.Y, 1)
local ray = Ray.new(ray.Origin,ray.Direction * 999)
local part,pos = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray,ignore)
Have you tried using camera:ViewportPointToRay() instead of camera:ScreenPointToRay? I haven’t had that happen to me before.
That works, but I was wondering why it wouldn’t work with screenpointtoray?
That’s probably because GetMouseLocation does not account for GUI inset, to fix that you can try subtracting, (if i remember correctly) something like 36 pixels from the mouse position or use the GuiService:GetGuiInset() function.
So Something like:
local mouse = uis:GetMouseLocation() - Vector2.new(0,36)
or
local inset = GuiService:GetGuiInset()
local mouse = uis:GetMouseLocation() - insetOne of them doesn’t take into account the top bar, which is a CoreGui. They are used separately
depending on how you get the mouse location.
Strange. The developer docs indirectly say that ScreenPointToRay should be more accurate (see the reasoning in the image), but for you, it’s less accurate than ViewportPointToRay. When I tried it, neither of them had any offset.
It might have something to do with the third parameter of the PointToRay functions:
