wanton zephyr but it doesnt even work when i manually create two parts with 2 attachment and a...

is the part anchored or no

#

the one which has attachment0 in it

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 10:37 AM

#

silk mesa is the part anchored or no

It is not anchored

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 10:37 AM

#

strange

#

i think its proibably because of the velocity

#

but im not sure

silk mesa but im not sure

idk but its annoying , i gave you the code in case

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 12:57 PM

#

wanton zephyr idk but its annoying , i gave you the code in case

you do knmow

#

that youre endlessly craeting new align positions

#

dont you

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 12:58 PM

#

yea

#

im trying to create the physics gun from garry's mod

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 12:59 PM

#

creating new align positions is not it

#

you need to create only one

#

and using that align position

#

you update it

#

try this

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 12:59 PM

#

what do you mean by update ?

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

create only one align position

#

im assuming youre trying to create an align position for each object

#

but what youre doing is youre creating endless amounts of new align positions

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

im trying to make the grabbed object attracted by where the mouse is pointing at

#

so when it moves the align position is moved

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 1:01 PM

#

yea but u keep creating new align positions here

if result.Instance.Anchored == false and not grabbing then
            print(result.Instance.Name)
            grabpart = result.Instance
            grabbing = true
            
            attachment0 = Instance.new("Attachment")
            attachment0.Parent = grabpart
            attachment0.Name = "Attachment0"
            attachment0.Position = result.Position
            attachment0.Visible = true
            
            align = Instance.new("AlignPosition")
            align.Mode = Enum.PositionAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
            align.Attachment0 = attachment0
            align.Position = result.Position
            align.MaxForce = 50000
            align.Responsiveness = 4445
            align.Parent = grabpart
            align.Enabled = true

        end```

studio ** You are now Level 3! ** studio

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 1:02 PM

#

OK

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 1:02 PM

#

silk mesa yea but u keep creating new align positions here ```lua if result.Instance.Anc...

put this code outside of the

#

while loop

#

and itll create only one

#

try that and let me know what happens

#

ill try to make an align position using this script meanwhile

#

yea i tried ur code and it has nothing bad with it

#

its just the while loop part im assuming

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 1:09 PM

#

silk mesa put this code outside of the

if it is before the while loop, it wont work cuz result is not defined yet, and if it is after the while loop, it will play at the end so it wont do anything cuz the attachment will be removed instantly

studio ** You are now Level 9! ** studio

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

wanton zephyr if it is before the while loop, it wont work cuz result is not defined yet, and ...

just make the align position

#

adn then update it inside the loop

#

the attachment too

#

make them both outside the loop

#

or actually

#

just make a function that does an iteration of this while loop, create the attachment and the align position

#

run this function so it gets the result and sets the align position properties

#

and then just run this function in the loop as wlel

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 1:12 PM

#

i dont think that is the problem because an align position and the attachment are created but even if it uses an align position outside a script it doesnt work (if i put it manually inside a part)

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 1:13 PM

#

hm weird

#

but do the things i told to do as well

#

have you checked that

#

if the event actaully fires

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 1:15 PM

#

i tried putting it outside the loop but it does the same thing for me . Idk cuz the align position worked on a past work so ima see what i did for it to work

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 1:17 PM

#

wanton zephyr i tried putting it outside the loop but it does the same thing for me . Idk cuz ...

ik ik but you keeping it in the loop just creates alot of align positions that jus

#

just try to look at the grab object after you grab it and see whats inside it

#

idk why the align position does not work

#

but its probably because of the

#

grabobject itself

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

silk mesa just try to look at the grab object after you grab it and see whats inside it

i alr did that and it has the align position and the attachment

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

silk mesa yea but u keep creating new align positions here ```lua if result.Instance.Anc...

cu zi tried this part of the code on my side and it worker

#

worked

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

silk mesa cu zi tried this part of the code on my side and it worker

the object moved ?

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

yea

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

i may be dumb

#

but it could be because its a local script that i use

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

oh

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 2:04 PM

#

i finally made it work

#

@silk mesa wanna see a video ?

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

sure

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

btw the reason was because it was inside a local script lol

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

oh wow 😭

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

sorry for taking your time(for a mistake that dumb)

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

its fine

wanton zephyr Dec 23, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

kinda trash but working lol

silk mesa Dec 23, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

wanton zephyr kinda trash but working lol
