I’m constructing my own Pet System where you’ll be able to crack open an egg and obtain a Common - Legendary Pet!

⁝ Problem

My pet floating system works well though not the collision. I’m using AlignPosition & AlignOrientation to do so. Though I can’t disable the collision of the pet or it will kick the player like a boot.

ㅤㅤㅤ

⁝ Script & Locations

Here’s my script:

function removeCurrentPet(Player) -- Arguement is the selected player
	local PetList = game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets:GetChildren() -- List of all pets that exist
	for _,pet in pairs(PetList) do -- Goes through the PetList
		for index, part in pairs(Player.Character:GetChildren()) do -- Goes through players character
			if part:IsA("Model") then if part.Name == pet.Name then part:Destroy() end end -- If it finds pet it destroys it
		end
	end
end

workspace.BluePart.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player) -- When a clickdetector is pressed
	removeCurrentPet(Player) -- Removes any existing pet
	
	local char = Player.Character -- Gets character
	local Pet = game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets.BlueBlock:Clone() -- Clones chosen pet
	Pet.Parent = char -- Places pet in character
	Pet:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame) -- Positions pet to the HumanoidRootPart
	
	local PetAttachment = Pet.HitBox.PetAttachment -- Finds pet attachment (Attachment0)
	
	local TorsoAttachment = Instance.new("Attachment") -- Creates torso attachment (Attachment1)
	TorsoAttachment.Parent = char.HumanoidRootPart -- Places attachment in HumanoidRootPart
	TorsoAttachment.Position = Vector3.new(2,4,2) -- Positions attachment
	TorsoAttachment.Name = "TorsoAttachment" -- Names the attachment

	local AlignPosition = Pet.HitBox.AlignPosition -- Finds AlignPosition of pet
	AlignPosition.Attachment1 = TorsoAttachment -- Sets Attachment1 to TorsoAttachment
	
	local AlignOrientation = Pet.HitBox.AlignOrientation -- Finds AlignOrientation of pet
	AlignOrientation.Attachment1 = TorsoAttachment -- Sets Attachment1 to TorsoAttachment
end)

⁝ Thinkable Solutions

[•] To disable pet collision for every player through client-sided scripts.
[•] Find a better way to make a floating system.
[•] Use while loops for the same result. (Last Resort)

▣ Question: How do you fix this?

► Answer: By disabling massless, you are making it unable to use gravity!

#2

Lovely post! Could you go into more detail why you cannot disable collision for pets? “kick the player like a boot” are you saying the animation of it walking looks bad?

#3

When you disable collision server-sided, the part flings the player and then floats down to the void eventually destroying itself.

⁝ Edit

There is no animation or anything added, I showed you everything that’s inside the script of the pet.

#4

Hmm AlignPosition and Orientation shouldn’t apply any force on Attachment1, unless you have ReactionForceEnabled ticked true. Maybe setting pets to Massless, they shouldn’t really be calculating as a part of the character’s body

Thank you so much!
I never thought of using massless you’re so bright-minded!
