Problem unlinking constraints within a model

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

What I had hoped to achieve was a script that, when a certain condition (that I have not created yet) is met, it dismantles the entire model. I had noticed within the model’s children itself, that there were different constraints when I had first only sought to remove only the welds within the children of the model’s model(The model has a model that contains the physical objects). I adjusted the script accordingly but did not get any results, as the car remains in one piece regardless if the script successfully runs.

NOTE THIS: The hierarchy of objects within the script is as follows
Tormenator–> Car–> Everything else.

CODE

local seat = Tormenator.VehicleSeat
local chatterbox = Tormenator.chatterBox
local destroyed = game.ReplicatedStorage.Upon_Being_Broken
local bool = false 
local parts = Tormenator:GetChildren()

if true then 
local function dismantle(obj)
    local welds = obj:GetChildren()
    for _, weld in pairs(welds) do
        if weld:IsA("Weld") or weld:IsA("WeldConstraint") or weld:IsA("Snap") or weld:IsA("Rotate") then
             weld:Destroy()
      end
   end
end

if Tormenator and Tormenator:IsA("Model") then 
    dismantle(Tormenator) 
        print("Yay") 
        for i = 1, #parts do 
          if parts:IsA("Weld") then
            parts[i]:Destroy() 
       end
    end
else 
    print("Nay")
   end 
end```

This might seem like a silly question, but are you checking the model during testing, like physically going through the model and seeing that the welds have been destroyed? Also, are your model pieces unanchored?

#3

One little thing I forgot to paste in, the line referencing the model itself:
local Tormenator = workspace.Tormenator.Car

#4

Yes, I have checked the model itself. It still had the welds, rotates and snaps respectively, contained in each part that had one of the 3 before, all of the parts are unanchored.

#5

I assume the print statements are all printing too?

#6

You’d have made a correct assumption then. Yes, they are printing as they should.

#7

I would try removing the “If true” part of this first function, i dont think its getting past that part when the function is called.

#8

I tried it, unfortunately, it did not work.

#10

You can use Model:BreakJoints() or BasePart:BreakJoints().

#11

Didn’t work, also I believe that function is deprecated.

#12

It is? I had no idea it was deprecated! Also, if it didn’t work, the issue might not be constraints. Maybe you can check for a constraint wrapper, since BasePart exists.

#13

I fixed it, and for anyone who is having the same problem, here’s the solution:

--get the model.
local model = script.Parent 
--you can do 'i,' or '_,' for the 'for' loop, both do the same thing.
for _, parts in pairs(model:GetDescendants()) 
      if parts:IsA("BasePart") then
         parts:BreakJoints() 
   end
end
