How do I script a sheathing and unsheathing mechanic? I want the sheath to be attached to the player's back/leg and when the player presses a certain key (let's say e) the sword gets taken out of the sheathe and into the players hand. I don't care about making an animation rn but I just want to know how I can do it.

..?

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

Pretty complicated

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

"thanks for making this script for me now give me 500 bobux"

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

It’s not 500

#

It’s like 150

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

do you even realize wht you're saying

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

?

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

do you want to pay people to make this or do you want people to pay you to make this

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

The second one

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

because nobody's going to spend money on making something for you

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

Why would I want this, if I replied to the forum

#

?

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 3:50 PM

#

you don't make any sense at all vro

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 3:51 PM

#

You can’t even spell “bro” correctly js stop talking to me

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 3:51 PM

#

wait

#

i'm so f**king dumb i thought you were op

#

off to hang myself

shell rover You can’t even spell “bro” correctly js stop talking to me

also that's a slang thing. people say it like that

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

You meant to use “,”

#

The first letter of your sentence is to be capitalized.

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 3:53 PM

🤓☝️

#

anyway isn't this just animation:Play()?

twin granite Jun 30, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

@trim elbow I mean it is complicated enough where if we walk u through step by step it would probably be a commission

studio ** You are now Level 14! ** studio

twin granite Jun 30, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

But I can tell u some things

#

Usually when you “unseathe” the weapon gets inserted into a right hand or ur right arm with a module telling the weld where to go for specific weapons/models

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

Oh

twin granite Jun 30, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

Same thing for sheathing but it’s just cloned an welded onto ur torso

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:02 PM

#

What I'm having trouble with mostly is sheathing

#

Welding**

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 4:02 PM

#

The scripting or the animations

shell rover The scripting or the animations

I said I don't care about the animations rn I'm just trying to learn to script

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 4:02 PM

#

Any particular bugs ?

#

With the script

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

Idk how to weld it

#

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

-- Wait for character to load
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(c)
char = c
end)

-- Get sword model from workspace
local swordModel = workspace:WaitForChild("Zanpakuto")

-- Clone the sword
local sword = swordModel:Clone()
sword.Name = "VisualSword"
sword.Anchored = false
sword.CanCollide = false
sword.Parent = char

-- State flag
local isSheathed = true

-- Attach function
local function attachSword(partName, position, rotation)
-- Remove any existing welds
for _, child in ipairs(sword:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("WeldConstraint") then
child:Destroy()
end
end

-- Weld to the player
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
sword.CFrame = char[partName].CFrame * CFrame.new(position) * CFrame.Angles(unpack(rotation))
sword:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(sword.CFrame)
weld.Part0 = sword
weld.Part1 = char[partName]
weld.Parent = sword

end

-- Toggle sword position
local function toggleSword()
if isSheathed then
-- Put in hand
attachSword("RightHand", Vector3.new(0, 0, 0), {0, 0, 0})
else
-- Put on back
attachSword("UpperTorso", Vector3.new(0, 1, 0.5), {math.rad(90), 0, 0})
end
isSheathed = not isSheathed
end

-- Key press handler
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isTyping)
if isTyping then return end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
toggleSword()
end
end)

#

I susd this

#

Used*

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

It seems your using weldconstraint

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

Yea

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

You would need to use Motor6D or Weld

twin granite Jun 30, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

I’d use welds and tediously find the perfect cframe for it

#

Normal welds

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

if you want to control position n stuff

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

twin granite Normal welds

I agree

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

So do I just change the "WeldConstraint" into just "Weld"?

studio ** You are now Level 2! ** studio

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

Does the sword have a primary part

#

That would make this easier

grave cargo Jun 30, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

marsh scarab you don't make any sense at all vro

YOU dont make sense 😭

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

It's just a part

#

Like a long stick

#

As a place holder

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 4:08 PM

#

grave cargo YOU dont make sense 😭

i don't 😭

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:09 PM

#

I'm so confused ngl

#

I should probably just learn scripting from the basics

#

And then try to tackle this later

grave cargo Jun 30, 2025, 4:11 PM

#

trim elbow I should probably just learn scripting from the basics

Well yeah if you dont know the basics why would you start with this 😶‍🌫️

shell rover Jun 30, 2025, 4:11 PM

crying

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:13 PM

#

grave cargo Well yeah if you dont know the basics why would you start with this 😶‍🌫️

Idk where to start

grave cargo Jun 30, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

Just learn how to code in general then use ai to help you understand scripting in roblox specifically

#

Codeacademy or smth

#

Its not an easy process

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

Ik

#

How long would it take?

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 4:25 PM

#

listen man, you won't get far if your whole idea is you wake up one day and go "yeah i wanna remake the strongest battlegrounds"

#

there's no easy way out of coding

#

if you really want to make something you'll actually spend time learning to code

#

sorry if that's harsh, but it's true

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

marsh scarab listen man, you won't get far if your whole idea is you wake up one day and go "...

Nah ik that but I tried to learn by doing something like this but I didn't end up learning anything

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

not how that works

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

I'm just curious how long it takes to learn scripting enough to be able to start making stuff like this

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

trying to make a big project, right off the bat, won't help you

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

Like to be proficient

#

Ig

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 4:28 PM

#

good question, i don't have that much experience

#

i'm not a pro scripter but i'm alright

#

so i wouldn't know

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:30 PM

#

How long did it take you?

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 4:30 PM

#

~6 months?

#

not 100% sure

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:33 PM

#

Oh

#

That's less time than I expected

marsh scarab Jun 30, 2025, 4:34 PM

#

i reccomend brawldev tutorial to get started

grave cargo Jun 30, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

trim elbow That's less time than I expected

You can learn in 3 months if you really try

#

Learn python and then just start scripting with the help of ai

twin granite Jun 30, 2025, 4:44 PM

#

Don’t rely on ai pls

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:47 PM

#

marsh scarab i reccomend brawldev tutorial to get started

I watched a bunch of creators but I don't learn like tgat

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

twin granite Don’t rely on ai pls

What is that guy talking about then

twin granite Jun 30, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

I mean ai can teach you syntax ig

#

I’m saying don’t rely on it to script for u

#

Some dude taught me how to script

#

It took like 2 months of teaching then 4 more to put it in practice

#

Then after that ur on ur own

#

You gotta find and research services and functions built into roblox

#

Either naturally or if u wanna learn something new

trim elbow Jun 30, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

Oh

spice vortex Jun 30, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

marsh scarab i reccomend brawldev tutorial to get started
