Arms keep falling off

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I am trying to make skins for a game I’m working on, but the arms keep falling off if I move them inwards or outwards from their current position. Is it not possible to have the arms in a different position? I am using a mesh for the torso so where the arms should go, means they need to be moved in.

Also with the skin the head I made won’t stay it just falls apart so I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong. I’m new to making such things like this, I tried to search to see if I could find anything to help me but I don’t understand some of them.

The torso and legs are fine and are working currectly with the script that is in it (I was following a video series to make a game to practise coding).

Sorry if I put this in the wrong area, I wasn’t sure which topic to put this in.

Are you doing this via. a script? If so, send the script. Arms are welded to the character but are unanchored, so if they fall off then that indicates the weld was broken.

Also I don’t know if this is helpful or not but when moving the arms from their current position the weld’s in the torso would dissapear (Left shoulder and Right shoulder). There also isn’t anything in the arms (I don’t know if there is meant to be since first time doing this)

The script you posted is just the old animation script Roblox used in > '06(?)

Are you modifying the CFrame or Position property of the arms? It sounds like you are as you’re saying that the Weld/Motor6D objects disappear?

You need to modify the C0/C1 of the Motor6D/Weld if you want to reposition the arms and maintain the joint object e.g.

LeftShoulder.C0 = LeftShoulder.C0 * CFrame.new(1, 0, 0)

Highly recommend you read this and this, especially this on C0 and this on C1
