    Hi, i've been making a building system and right now i am trying to make it so that the GhostWall is imported in to the game and then follows the players mouse. This is a 3D game. Can someone please help me?

    -Thanks Nicholas

    Mouse is moving over the 2d surface of the screen. To make objects follow mouse in 3d world you need to define some surface in your game they will move over. For examle, a horizontal plane or a terrain object. After that you just raycast from camera through mouse cursor , find intersection with your predefined surface, and place your about-to-be-built gameobject at that position.
