Hello, Lately I started getting heavily into scripting, and while I was scripting, I had an idea that would be very useful... My idea is to have a cursor that's similar to Blender's. When you click with the cursor, it stays where you clicked but, unlike Blender, it will benefit you by giving you the position coordinates of where you placed the cursor (by clicking.) This will make coordinates much faster to find, which will benefit many scripters out there. NOTE: The way we can currently accomplish the task of finding the desired position coordinates, one would need to create a part, move it to desired spot, then find the position in the properties. But I want to be able to find the position without going through all those steps. I hope you support my idea, and thank you for taking the time to read this.

It's not a very exciting idea, but it would be useful. This idea is intended for more advanced players, so I think I need to suggest this in a scripters forum.

This seems like a plugin thing, using mouse.Hit.p

Yes, but still, you wouldn't be able to go from two different axes and get a position that's in the air.

Oh wait, you actually could... When scripting you could write it so that you click once for X *switch* click again for Y.

mouse.Hit.p is a Vector3. It'll return three values corresponding to X, Y, and Z.

Yes, but if you click once for all axes at once, it'll place the position on the surface of the object you clicked and it wouldn't allow you to get a position that's in the air that is away from objects.
