How do I weld stuff to the player model when they spawn?

[elfin hawk]

I have this board that I want to attach to the player when they spawn. Im not very good at coding so i didn't expect to get this first try but it is starting to bug me. I have provided an image of the board and the current script. The board includes a model containing the parts and unions for the board and a HumanoidRootPart which I assumed I needed for it to work.

[left ferry]

local Morph = Model:Clone()

[upbeat kiln]

it still works the way he did it

he can acces the variable from anywhere now

[left ferry]

also create a new WeldConstraint

[elfin hawk]

just tested this it didnt change anything

[elfin hawk]

does it have to be a weldconstraint specifically?

[left ferry]

its better practice

[elfin hawk]

its a weld

[left ferry]

no but weldconstraint is probably your best way to go

[upbeat kiln]

hold on is it in r6

[left ferry]

weldconstraint keeps positions relatice

[elfin hawk]

this is the weld that is referenced

[elfin hawk]

yes

[left ferry]

this is a good point

[upbeat kiln]

part0 is the part following

you could try switch the roles

[left ferry]

id recommend creating a new weldconstraint

[upbeat kiln]

weldconstraint > weld high diff

[elfin hawk]

nothing changed

[lunar yarrow]

** You are now Level 5! **

[upbeat kiln]

o ok

[elfin hawk]

do you mean create a new one via script

[left ferry]

yes

local newWeldConstraint = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")

[upbeat kiln]

are there any errors in the output

that u can see

[left ferry]

you also dont need to connect playeradded

[upbeat kiln]

I think he needs player variabke

unless its a local script

[left ferry]

you can use

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

essentially does the same but its aesthetically better and prevents that nasty unnecessary loop/connect
keeps everything in series

[upbeat kiln]

ye

[elfin hawk]

is this how im supposed to make it create one

[upbeat kiln]

try that

[left ferry]

yes, dont forget to set its parent to humanoidrootpart and then set offset position

[upbeat kiln]

wait

yes I was aboutta say tagt

its parent is still nil

[elfin hawk]

if i just want it to go to the player do i need to set the offset position somewhere

[upbeat kiln]

so its kinda bugged and undefined

[upbeat kiln]

no

[elfin hawk]

i assumed since theres a humanoid inside of it they would connect

[upbeat kiln]

set it to 0, 0, 0

if its directly inside

[left ferry]

yes. the offset position is the one you set it to, once it is set then the part will always move relative to the weld0

thats where weldconstraint is applicable, it keeps two parts offset indefinitely until you change a position. try set the model cframe to the humanoidrootpart cframe and it will always remain there relatice to the humanoidrootpart

[elfin hawk]

so if i wanted the model's humanoid to be stuck to the torso then what would it be

would it just be 0,0,0

[left ferry]

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

--Code here

end)```

[left ferry]

it would be model:PivotTo(humanoidRootPart.CFame)

for a model

and model.CFrame = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + OFFSET

remember, the other parts position is not an offset, its a world position. it only remains relative to the other part when in motion

[left ferry]

sorry i missed the "

Players: should be Players"

[left ferry]

under WeldCon.Part1
do
Morph:PivotTo(character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame)

[elfin hawk]

still isnt working yet

[left ferry]

finally

do Morph.Parent = workspace

c:

[elfin hawk]

does not work

[upbeat kiln]

been ages huh

[left ferry]

any error?

[elfin hawk]

the ones in analysis are disabled

theyre the old script

the waitforchild error is on the script were using

ok ok wait

[left ferry]

i ser

[lunar yarrow]

** You are now Level 34! **

[elfin hawk]

i switched the . to a :

and something changed

[left ferry]

great, parent the weld to something too

[elfin hawk]

it spawns but it isnt welded

[left ferry]

you may need to parent the weld too

[elfin hawk]

this does not work

[left ferry]

parent should be Parent

remember: code is case sensitive

[elfin hawk]

ok were getting somewhere

it works on spawn

however

it does not work when i reset

[left ferry]

yeah

because you need to perform the action on reset

[elfin hawk]

how do i switch it to reset instead of spawn

[left ferry]

usually you make a function and connect to when humanoid dues

then start the chain of events once more

[elfin hawk]

can i make the clone reattach to the new player once they die so that A. anything on it is saved and B. so the clones dont begin to stack up and lag the server

[left ferry]

because you are only connecting it to when a player is added it will only work when someone joins

yes

store it in a table

[elfin hawk]

how would i do that i dont have experience with tables

[left ferry]

when player dies store the clone to a table of free models

check if table length of contents > 1 then fetch from the table

local freeModels = {}

player dies here

add to table:
table.insert(freeModels, playersWeldedModel)

when player joins
if not #freeModels >= 1 then clone else clone = freeModels[1] end

its fairly simple 👍

[elfin hawk]

this is a lot more confusing and i have no idea how id tie this into the script that i already have

[left ferry]

rip

[elfin hawk]

i tried just adding this to the end and it didnt work

could you explain how to make the table thing work

[left ferry]

bro

thats definitely not logically correct

you can use playeradded:connect for your problem

[upbeat kiln]

if player.CharacterAdded then 🔥 🔥

[left ferry]

--your model cloning logic here

end

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Once(function(player) 
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterLoad)
end)```

[left ferry]

oh hello no

[elfin hawk]

nvm wait should it be like htis

[left ferry]

why the first loop in playeradded

bro just copy and paste what i sent

bro is cooking something diabolical

im saving that for when u stick around and i need to remind u of how far u have come

[elfin hawk]

is this it

or do i need to add the model variable inside too

[left ferry]

bro just copy paste what i sent

u got the spirit

[elfin hawk]

what are you

asking me

to do

ive tried to much stuff already

[left ferry]

yes

now put the model clone logic in the function

without the player.added

[elfin hawk]

like this???

[left ferry]

yes but remove the local character line

[left ferry]

beautiful

stunning

its a true masterpiece

[elfin hawk]

i mean were getting somewhere???

[upbeat kiln]

ts been going on for like 4 hours

[left ferry]

alright

[elfin hawk]

mf how long does it take you to make games

[left ferry]

so now you need to pool the objects

when humanoid dies the player is respawned so when the humanoid dies you save the object reference to a table for later reuse

[elfin hawk]

does this use like :Died() or something

[left ferry]

local humanoid = character.Humanoid

humanoid.Died:Once(function()

end)

[upbeat kiln]

I like how its just you and him with no 1 else

[elfin hawk]

hes my goat

[elfin hawk]

how do i change this to save it into a table

[left ferry]

well its magical

[elfin hawk]

do i add something to the function part

[left ferry]

yes

first you declare a table

local modelTable = {} --at the top```

[elfin hawk]

i did that last time but i couldnt figure out where to put the other parts

[left ferry]

aha

ts ok bro

change

local Morph = Model:Clone()

to

local Morph = modelTable[1] or Model:Clone()

[elfin hawk]

ok i get this

can you save an object in a table though

[left ferry]

then

character.Humanoid.Died:Once(function() table.insert(modelTable, Morph) end)

[left ferry]

no, but you can save its reference in the workspace

which is the same for what you are trying to achieve

[elfin hawk]

where in there would this go

inside of the function or at the bit at the end

[left ferry]

at the bottom of onCharacterLoad

inside the function though

[lunar yarrow]

** You are now Level 6! **

[left ferry]

and the last piece is:

under

local Morph=

do

if modelTable[1] then table.remove(modelTable, 1) end

[left ferry]

beautiful

try it out

do
it
be
bussin?

[elfin hawk]

the ground thing is welded to my torso

i think we need to reset the position

somehow

[left ferry]

wdym the ground is welded to ur torso

does it work everytime u die atleast?

[elfin hawk]

it reattaches but the position is the same as when i died

[left ferry]

ah

yes

maybe bc

you dont delete the old weld and add a new one

[elfin hawk]

wouldnt the old weld delete itself when the player respawns

or

wait

let me check if its still there

[left ferry]

between the if and local weldcon do

local previousWeld = Morph.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("WeldConstraint")

if previousWeld then previousWeld:Destroy() end```

[elfin hawk]

theres only one weld constraint

[left ferry]

oh

well

do it anyways for continuity

[elfin hawk]

as i expected it didnt work

[left ferry]

hmhm

well

i mean its working right?

[elfin hawk]

it still works

but like

its also still welding to the wrong position

[left ferry]

move pivotto to below the parent to workspace

thats the only thing i can think of

[elfin hawk]

didnt work

[left ferry]

hm

[elfin hawk]

i have a feeling this is a simple solution, is there no way to reset the offset to 0

[left ferry]

yes just PivotTo(CFrame.new(vector.zero))

to set to 0,0,0

[elfin hawk]

this is what the weldconstraint looks like when i reset btw

[elfin hawk]

should this go in here or something

[left ferry]

no

it goes in the onCharacterLoad function

show me your current code

[elfin hawk]

`local Model = workspace:WaitForChild("StarterCharacter")
local SavedModel = {}

function onCharacterLoad(character)

local Morph = SavedModel[1] or Model:Clone()
if SavedModel[1] then table.remove(SavedModel, 1) end
local previousWeld = Morph.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("WeldConstraint")
if previousWeld then previousWeld:Destroy() end
local WeldCon = Instance.new('WeldConstraint')
WeldCon.Part0 = Morph.HumanoidRootPart
WeldCon.Part1 = character:WaitForChild("Torso")
WeldCon.Parent = Morph.HumanoidRootPart
Morph:PivotTo(character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame)
Morph.Parent = workspace
character.Humanoid.Died:Once(function() table.insert(SavedModel, Morph) end)

end

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Once(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterLoad)
end)`

[left ferry]

pivot to AFTER parent = workspace

as in below

not above

[elfin hawk]

i thought i already did that 😞

it mustve reset idk

[left ferry]

:c

[elfin hawk]

doesnt work anyways

[left ferry]

does the model have a primarypart?

[elfin hawk]

idk what that did but it made it worse i keep spawning outside of the map now

[elfin hawk]

the humanoid is the primary part

[left ferry]

oh wait maybe its a logical error

[elfin hawk]

also i reverted this so i stop going outside of the map

[left ferry]

you set weld then reposition poarts

[left ferry]

no that was good

that was correct

dont undo that

`local Model = workspace:WaitForChild("StarterCharacter")
local SavedModel = {}

function onCharacterLoad(character)

local Morph = SavedModel[1] or Model:Clone()
if SavedModel[1] then table.remove(SavedModel, 1) end
local previousWeld = Morph.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("WeldConstraint")
if previousWeld then previousWeld:Destroy() end
local WeldCon = Instance.new('WeldConstraint')
Morph.Parent = workspace Morph:PivotTo(character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame)

WeldCon.Part0 = Morph.HumanoidRootPart
WeldCon.Part1 = character:WaitForChild("Torso")
WeldCon.Parent = Morph.HumanoidRootPart

character.Humanoid.Died:Once(function() table.insert(SavedModel, Morph) end)

end

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Once(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterLoad)
end)`

try this

i made it weld only after setting position

not before, which would cause ur glitch

[elfin hawk]

when pivotto is infront of parent this happens

[left ferry]

thats supposed to happen

thats because logical order was incorrect

try the version i sent

[elfin hawk]

this works

perfectly

[left ferry]

YES

[elfin hawk]

were so back

[left ferry]

because we were setting the weld and then changing the position (meaning the weld was never set local to the characters position, it moved the character after the weld like a model and recentred the morph+character as a whole model - stupid me)

now we set the morphs position to the characters AND THEN WELD

show me teh final code bro

[elfin hawk]

its literally just what you did

[left ferry]

ye but i wanna show it in studio 💀

to display ur awesome skill 💀

[elfin hawk]

heres a video of it working

[left ferry]

beuaitulf

[elfin hawk]

wait

[left ferry]

?!?!?!

[elfin hawk]

give me a second

can we make it

only work if ur in a specific team

wouldnt it just be like an if statement or something

[left ferry]

yeah

its just getplayerfromcharacter

[elfin hawk]

how would i do that

[left ferry]

in onCharacterLoad()

at the top do

local correctTeam = "team here"

local team = (player.Team == correctTeam)

if not team then return end```

[elfin hawk]

is that all

[left ferry]

i wonder if thatll work

[elfin hawk]

its back to not working at all

[left ferry]

try print(team) above if not team

see what your team is

[elfin hawk]

it did not print anything

[left ferry]

show code

oh sorry i mean print(player.Team)

[elfin hawk]

that did not change anything

[upbeat kiln]

bro its getplayerfromcharacter

thats why there is an error

Id

[elfin hawk]

OH

that makes

a lot more sense

[upbeat kiln]

yr

ye

trey it now

[elfin hawk]

ok so it prints the team that im on now

but the board doesnt show

even if im on the right one

[upbeat kiln]

Im sorry I wasnt here since the start

uhh what baord

what tea,

[left ferry]

oops my bad i said playerbycharacter im just not paying this thread much attention 💀

[upbeat kiln]

hold on

when you print team does it show a boolvalue

since team is the varuabke for a boolvalue

I feel like ur overcomplicating it

[lunar yarrow]

** You are now Level 11! **

[upbeat kiln]

just do

if not player.Team == “Player” then return end

[elfin hawk]

it prints the name of the team

[upbeat kiln]

@elfin hawk @elfin hawk @elfin hawk @elfin hawk

[upbeat kiln]

but how

team is in lowercase

it would show an error

[upbeat kiln]

try this

if not player.Team == “Player” then return end

can u send screenshot of script again lela

please

[elfin hawk]

when i used ur code it had these errors

[left ferry]

just do if player.Team ~= currentTeam then return end

[elfin hawk]

it doesnt know what player is

it still says player is an unknown global

[elfin hawk]

i still havent figured this out

how do i reference the player's team if i cant reference the player

[elfin hawk]

is this the time where everyone gives up

i still need the team script

[worn jackal]

Did this take you 5 hours 😭

[upbeat kiln]

or that

[upbeat kiln]

oh mbmb

put the 1 not in quotation marks as

player not Player

[elfin hawk]

both didnt work i tried

im just gonna leave it as it is for now

maybe ill revisit it later
