How do i get the mouse position to a part in roblox?

Question

I truly want to know. How do i get the mouse position to a part in roblox? Like, i want to get the mouse position, on screen, aligned with a part. Let's say the part position is 10,10,10 and i want my mouse to point at that exact position, how can i do that? (I just need to get the position, ex: 1093x899, 1789x305. Didn't understand? Here, i simply want to know the position, on which my mouse would say that there is the 'part' that i want my mouse to point at. Any help is nice!

Take a look at the docs for Camera:WorldToScreenPoint.

I've adapted the code sample from there:

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

-- get the position of the part you care about
local targetPart = game.Workspace.YOUR_PART_NAME
local worldPoint = targetPart.Position

-- get the screen coordinates
local vector, onScreen = camera:WorldToScreenPoint(worldPoint)
if onScreen then
    local screenPoint = Vector2.new(vector.X, vector.Y)
    print(screenPoint)
else
    print("the part isn't on your screen right now")
end

You'll need to hook this up to a loop of some kind to repeated get the coordinates.
