Creating a snowball

I am attempting to create a snowball that you can launch in the directions of your mouse. This is probably very simple to do, however I am having trouble seeing how I would do it. I’ve been able to create a laser gun using raycasting, but I need to know how to launch a part in the direction of the mouse. Any help is appreciated!

I don’t know how reliable this model is because it was updated a year ago, but perhaps it could serve as a guide for what you may need. That is, if you’re looking to create a snowball with similar functionality.

    Snowball.CFrame = CFrame.new(Player.Character['Location'].Position + Vector3.new(0,0,2),Mouse.Hit.p)
Snowball.Velocity = Snowball.CFrame.LookVector * 225
local BF = Instance.new("BodyForce", Snowball)
BF.Force = Vector3.new(0,(Snowball:GetMass() - Snowball:GetMass()*.0 )* workspace.Gravity)

This is a concept i used for bullets and you’d have to make it compatible with filtering enable as thats just the concept also the “*.0” is like a drop so if you want it to drop 10% from the mouse position just put .1
