Weird dragdetector movement

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to fix the dragdetector part so that it stops moving on the Y axis completely

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!


    Notice how the dragdetector part is moving on the Y axis irregularly

here is my custom ResponseStyle

local guide = workspace.PlacementGuide
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local box = guide.Frame.Box
local cursor = guide.Cursor
local cursorPos = cursor:GetBoundingBox().p.Y
local boxPos = box.Position
local function checkIfIn(pos)
	local part = Instance.new('Part')
	part.Size = Vector3.new(0.1,20,0.1)
	part.Transparency = 1
	part.Anchored = true
	part.Parent = workspace
	part.Position = pos
	for _, instance in part:GetTouchingParts() do
		if instance == box then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end
cursor.Cursor.DragDetector.DragContinue:Connect(function()
	local mouse = player:GetMouse()
	local mouseRay = camera:ScreenPointToRay(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
	local pos = workspace:Raycast(mouseRay.Origin, mouseRay.Direction)
	if pos then
		if checkIfIn(pos.Position) then
			cursor:MoveTo(Vector3.new(pos.Position.X, 2, pos.Position.Z))
		else
			local look = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(pos.Position.X, boxPos.Y, pos.Position.Z), boxPos)
			local params = RaycastParams.new()
			params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
			params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {box}
			local raycast = workspace:Raycast(look.Position, look.LookVector, params)
			if raycast then
				cursor:MoveTo(Vector3.new(raycast.Position.X, 2, raycast.Position.Z))
			end
		end
	end
end)

I can send the rbxm file too, as it might have to do with the model itself but I don’t think so

Trying to make drag detector move to the edge of the limit if it can't follow the mouse
#2

you need to add raycastprams as the ray is hitting the part causing the part to endlessly fly text

#3 
local params = RaycastParams.new()
	params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
	params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {cursor}
	local pos = workspace:Raycast(mouseRay.Origin, mouseRay.Direction*100, params)

Doesn’t seem to have any effect, makes it move erratically

Nevermind, i just realized it’s because I didn’t destroy the part after checking. I also added new params to only include the drag limit and the baseplate

Fixed code down here

local guide = workspace.PlacementGuide
local guidePos = guide:GetBoundingBox().p
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local box = guide.Frame.Box
local cursor = guide.Cursor
local cursorPos = cursor:GetBoundingBox().p.Y
local boxPos = box.Position
local function checkIfIn(pos)
	local part = Instance.new('Part')
	part.Size = Vector3.new(0.1,20,0.1)
	part.Transparency = 1
	part.Anchored = true
	part.Parent = workspace
	part.Position = pos
	local touchingParts = part:GetTouchingParts()
	part:Destroy()
	for _, instance in touchingParts do
		if instance == box then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end
cursor.Cursor.DragDetector.DragContinue:Connect(function()
	local mouse = player:GetMouse()
	local mouseRay = camera:ScreenPointToRay(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
	local params = RaycastParams.new()
	params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
	params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {box, workspace.Baseplate}
	local pos = workspace:Raycast(mouseRay.Origin, mouseRay.Direction*1000, params)
	if pos then
		if checkIfIn(pos.Position) then
			cursor:MoveTo(Vector3.new(pos.Position.X, 2, pos.Position.Z))
		else
			local look = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(pos.Position.X, boxPos.Y, pos.Position.Z), boxPos)
			local raycast = workspace:Raycast(look.Position, look.LookVector*1000)
			if raycast then
				cursor:MoveTo(Vector3.new(raycast.Position.X, 2, raycast.Position.Z))
			end
		end
	end
end)

cursor.Cursor.DragDetector.DragEnd:Connect(function()
	cursor:MoveTo(Vector3.new(guidePos.X, 2, guidePos.Z))
end)
