Similar to the one in Welcome to Roblox Building. Here is what I have so far. It does not work the way I want it to.
--
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()
tool = script.Parent
parts = script.Parent.Parts
current = nil

tool.Selected:connect(function()
wait()
p = parts.Basic.Grass:clone()
current = p
p.Parent = game.Workspace
p.Transparency = .5
p.CanCollide = false

mouse.Move:connect(function()
if mouse.Hit then
x = math.floor(mouse.Hit.p.X)
y = math.floor(mouse.Hit.p.Y)
z = math.floor(mouse.Hit.p.Z)
p.Position = Vector3.new(x,y,z)
end
end)
end)

tool.Deselected:connect(function()
if current then
current:destroy()
end
end)
--
Any help/

1st off, make sure everything is right so no errors will be found in the script.

2nd off, when you put "current:destroy()" I think that messed the whole script up because I'm guessing in LUA, when you destroy something, it doesn't come back unless you clone. But I don't know what you would clone if you deleted it. So I'm guessing put "current:remove()" and if that doesn't work, try anything besides destroy and remove.

Get out.
Why do people who don't know how to script always post on my help threads?

@Lemm
It does exactly what the code tells it to do. I need help with making it like the stamper tool.
Currently, whenever you move your mouse, the part will go through the air. I want it to only be able to be placed against other parts.
I don't know if that makes sense or not.

Try replacing p.Position = Vector3.new () with p.CFrame = CFrame.new ()

From what it seems the blocks are going above the zone? Cframe allows it to go inside other blocks

The problem has nothing to do with CFrame/Position.
The issue is that mouse.Hit.p is not only on top of other parts. It is the position of where the mouse is pointing, which can be in the middle of the air.
I'm making a tool similar to the building tool in Sandbox and Welcome to Roblox Building.

Search up "Sandbox Uncopylocked"

click the first uncopylocked one you see and then when you click there stamper tool scripts 2 times, you will see your mistake.

1. I have been helping people on Scripting Helpers for a long time.
2. You do not know how to script, ergo you don't belong here.
Get out.

My last suggestion would be to make 4x4 plates instead one big plate, so then you can get which plate the mouse is pointing at and then you can get the position of that plate etc.

Hmm, hey.. What's that word you need to learn... hmm.. what was it.... Oh yeah! A beginner scripter!

People like you are ruining the world with your bullying. If someone didn't do your script right, you don't tell them they don't belong here or to get out. I even bet your one of the rude people at the school thinking there all that. So what about you slap that fact in your face.

You say nothing because you know it's true.

Next time you want to act like a god and tell people to get out, look at the world kid. Bullying is written all over your face.
