Welding Item to wrist after proximity prompt

[icy sable]

local plr = game:GetService("Players")
local runservice = game:GetService("RunService")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local function WeldOmnitrix(plr)

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
    wait()
    
    local char = ServerStorage.WeldRig
    
    local Omnitrix = ServerStorage.OmnitrixWeld.OmniBand:Clone()
    local PosRef = ServerStorage.OmnitrixWeld.anchorpoint:Clone()
    local LeftLowerArm = char.LeftLowerArm
    
    Omnitrix.Parent = char
    Omnitrix.anchorpoint:PivotTo(plr.LeftLowerArm.CFrame)
    
    local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", Omnitrix)
        weld.Part0 = LeftLowerArm
        weld.Part1 = Omnitrix.anchorpoint    
    
if game.Workspace["The Omnitrix"].Main.ProximityPrompt.Triggered then

WeldOmnitrix()
    
end
    
end)

end

I am very new to coding tbh and while ive looked up tutorials and browsed several documents on this stuff for the life of me i cant get it to actually do the thing (for the record the proximity promp is on a free floating model and I anchored a small object to a model that I put into Server Storage) If i could get some help or advice id greatly appreciate it

local function WeldOmnitrix(plr)

    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
        wait()

        local char = ServerStorage.WeldRig

        local Omnitrix = ServerStorage.OmnitrixWeld.OmniBand:Clone()
        local PosRef = ServerStorage.OmnitrixWeld.anchorpoint:Clone()
        local LeftLowerArm = char.LeftLowerArm

        Omnitrix.Parent = char
        Omnitrix:PivotTo(plr.LeftLowerArm.CFrame)

        local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", Omnitrix)
            weld.Part0 = LeftLowerArm
            weld.Part1 = Omnitrix.anchorpoint

        if game.Workspace["The Omnitrix"].Main.ProximityPrompt.Triggered then
            WeldOmnitrix()
        end

    end)
end

First of all

are you running your function in the first place

second of all, how you coded it will cause a memory leak

as your doing the player CharacterAdded connection over and over again

[icy sable]

I assumed WeldOmnitrix() was a call for the function

[rustic falcon]

well you call the function

inside the function

Look, you have alot of problems

So lets fix em 1 by one

[icy sable]

lol yea i assumed

[rustic falcon]

First of all, you need to remove the plr.CharacteraddedConnection from the function

Wait

before you do so

Could you show a sample of the rest of the code if you have any

?

[icy sable]

thats all of it so far I wanted to get the thing on the character before i tried anything else

[rustic falcon]

Ok cool

So basically

SPlayer = game:GetService("Players")
--getting the players services

local function weld()
  --Your weld function here
end

SPlayer.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr) 
  --Detect when player joins
  Plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character) 
    --Detect when character actually spawns in game

     game.Workspace.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
       --This is how you should detect if the proximity prompt is triggered
       weld()
     end)
  end)
end)

I hope you understand the general idea

In the weld function you'll just do your weld logic

and run the function in the character added connection

[icy sable]

so i would put the if then for proximityprompt under character added connection?

[rustic falcon]

Thats not how you detect if proximity prompt is triggered

I edited the code above

[icy sable]

ohhh

cuz i set like a test to see if the prompt was working and it wasnt i see

[wraith root]

** You are now Level 1! **

[rustic falcon]

I think it should work now

Thats if you write the rest of the code correctly

finish writing it up, if you find any errors ping me and I'll help you out

[icy sable]

local plr = game:GetService("Players")

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local function WeldOmnitrix()

    local char = ServerStorage.WeldingRig
    
    local Omnitrix = ServerStorage["The Omnitrix"]:Clone()
    local LeftLowerArm = char.LeftLowerArm
    
    Omnitrix.Parent = char
    Omnitrix:PivotTo(plr.LeftLowerArm.CFrame)
    
    local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", ServerStorage["The Omnitrix"].Main)
        weld.Part0 = Omnitrix
        weld.Part1 = workspace.WeldingRig.anchorpoint

end
plr.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()

    game.Workspace["SpawnerTrix"].Main.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
            WeldOmnitrix()
    end)
end)

end)

It def tries to run it but it just isnt showing up on my model, sorry this coding stuff just isnt making sense to me quite yet

i get

Stack Begin - Studio
23:29:10.393 Script 'ServerScriptService.Omniweld Script', Line 16 - function WeldOmnitrix - Studio - Omniweld Script:16
23:29:10.393 Script 'ServerScriptService.Omniweld Script', Line 28 - Studio - Omniweld Script:28
23:29:10.393 Stack End

so i believe that shows its calling the function but i think either the tutorials im seeing arent exactly useful for what im doing or maybe i got something wrong somewhere

[rustic falcon]

NP

[rustic falcon]

local plr = game:GetService("Players")

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")


 
local function WeldOmnitrix(plr)


        local char = ServerStorage.WeldingRig

        local Omnitrix = ServerStorage["The Omnitrix"]:Clone()
        local LeftLowerArm = char.LeftLowerArm

        Omnitrix.Parent = char
        Omnitrix:PivotTo(plr.LeftLowerArm.CFrame)

        local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", ServerStorage["The Omnitrix"].Main)
            weld.Part0 = Omnitrix
            weld.Part1 = workspace.WeldingRig.anchorpoint


end
plr.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()

        game.Workspace["SpawnerTrix"].Main.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
                WeldOmnitrix(plr)
        end)
    end)
end)

You forgot to send in the plr as a parameter

[rustic falcon]

@icy sable try this

[icy sable]

still nothin i wonder if its a problem with the model i found or the way i set up the weld?

[icy sable]

i think big progress only error ive got is LeftLowerArm is not a valid member of Player

for the record im using R15

[icy sable]

local plr = game:GetService("Players")

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local function WeldOmnitrix(plr)

local char = plr.Character

local Omnitrix = ServerStorage["The Omnitrix"].Main:Clone()
local LeftLowerArm = char.LeftLowerArm

Omnitrix.Parent = char
Omnitrix:PivotTo(LeftLowerArm.CFrame)

local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", Omnitrix)
weld.Part0 = LeftLowerArm
weld.Part1 = Omnitrix

end
plr.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()

    game.Workspace["SpawnerTrix"].Main.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
        WeldOmnitrix(plr)
    end)
end)

end)

I got it to work but the only problem is it seems to prevent my character from moving

i figured out the rest is just an issue with welding some parts together Thanks a ton!

[rustic falcon]

Np, gl on the rest of your project

[icy sable]

ty, if possible think i could get some tips on motor6D? Im assuming I would use similar code to instance what I need and just call for the animation?

[rustic falcon]

Motor 6D is similar to welds in some sense

they allow for you to connect between to in game parts

but they also allow for animations

[rustic falcon]

If your animation has keyframes for lets an attack

Like any animation in general which includes more than the character parts

[icy sable]

right i looked up a tutorial that was basically edit rig welding the parts together but it just falls off

[wraith root]

** You are now Level 2! **

[rustic falcon]

Motor is basically just a limb for example allowing you to do animations, moreover you need to make sure that motor6d in the animator is the same name in game

[rustic falcon]

Huh weird

[icy sable]

I have a small block welded to the character arm and the item weled to that block but it doesnt seem to stick

[rustic falcon]

Ohhh

Check the Part0

if you trying to weld em to the character

just set part 0

to the same character part

and part1, to the part itself

[icy sable]

so part 0 would be the arm and part 1 the block?

cuz i mostly just need an animation of the dial coming up on a button press but it would look very good if the dial falls off all the time lol

alr i got it and could i just code an instance for motor6d similar to the weld code from above? ig im confused on how the animation will transfer to the player

[rustic falcon]

You'll just play the animation]

and it should replicate

if your using motor6D

and did the naimg correctly

[rustic falcon]

Its very similar yes

You might want to edit the C0 or C1 properties

to position the parts in a certain way

[icy sable]

ok i still havent researched it enough but so far im tryna figure out why the stick and dial dont stay attatched to my player once i initiate the code you helped me with they both apper but they dont stick to my players arm

[rustic falcon]

Show code

[icy sable]

local plr = game:GetService("Players")

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local function WeldOmnitrix(plr)

local char = plr.Character

local Omnitrix = ServerStorage["The Omnitrix"].Main:Clone() --[[clones the Main inside  The Omnitrix  I welded every part 
of the model to the main, though to animate the Dial gonna have to swap the dials WeldConstraint to Motor6d]]
local LeftLowerArm = char.LeftLowerArm

Omnitrix.Parent = char
Omnitrix:PivotTo(LeftLowerArm.CFrame)

local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", Omnitrix)
weld.Part0 = LeftLowerArm
weld.Part1 = Omnitrix

end
plr.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()

    game.Workspace["SpawnerTrix"].Main.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
        WeldOmnitrix(plr)
    end)
end)

end)

this is the only code ive got rn ive got the dial and stick its attatched to within The Omnitrix so it instances and I have WeldCOnstraints connecting the stick to the dial and the stick to the arm

[rustic falcon]

bro you never parented the weld ot the player 👀

or wait

nvm

weld.Part1 = Omnitrix.PrimaryPart

Try this

[icy sable]

no that just makes thing fall off my arm

i think somethings gotta be anchored where it shouldnt be cuz it just floats there

[rustic falcon]

Your welding the Omnitrix model to your leftlowerarm

it should not work

[icy sable]

that part welds what i want it to to the character its just the dial that has motor6d that doesnt connect for some reason

alr i found the stick i was using was anchored so now it falls through the floor but I think for whatever reason the motor6d that i set to connect the stick and the arm isnt connecting, properly

[rustic falcon]

show the properties?

of your motor6d

[rustic falcon]

Like are you even setting the part0 and part1

tf

thats weird

[icy sable]

yea im not sure maybe if i put motor6D into LowerLeftArm?

[rustic falcon]

Try it

[icy sable]

no ive tried that and weldConstruct LeftLowerArm to DialStick and motor6d DialStick and Core Main but it just keeps falling

[rustic falcon]

well idk tbh, you could ask in studio help

there might me people who can help you with that problem

[icy sable]

i think ill prob skip trying to make the dial pop up so i can start working on the transformation mechanics but i might come back to it if motor6d gives me problems on stuff that are harder to ignore lol ty for all the help
