Hello!
I am currently trying to make a placement system where you can select an object from a GUI that you want to place, and it will be appear wherever your mouse clicks. The object however spawns halfway into the ground.

It won’t move from that spot no matter where your mouse clicks. You also can’t spawn another part as it will just overlap the past instance.
Client script:
Server script:
And yes, I am aware that some things may be deprecated, as this was from an old tutorial. I can change things if need be, but I would prefer to keep it as is. Also, let me know if I need to explain anything better.
If you think you know what went wrong, please let me know. Thank you and have wonderful day!
