For such a recognisable item on Roblox the Ban Hammer is clearly not looked after properly as it is almost completely broken, with all of its components being so outdated due to how many updates Roblox has been through since its release that the only thing that displays in game is its mesh, its texture doesn’t load in at all and the script stopped working ages ago, the gear category itself is a mess due to Roblox almost never recognising its existence.
Its quite sad that just because not many games use gears that the category is neglected like this.
Expected behavior
Normally users can click to knock other players down. Double-clicking flings them a far distance. It also makes an explosion sound upon impact, though an explosion itself never occurs, I cannot for the life of me find any footage of it actually working but if anyone has some, it’d be appreciated greatly
Hi - I’m not sure how you inserted the Ban Hammer, but the texture loads and works fine on my end. Used Quick Insert by Maximum_ADHD
As for the scripts, gears are infamous for most of their scripts not being ported/fixed to be compatible with R15, those of which including the Ban Hammer.
Footage of the Ban Hammer working on R6 (I recorded this without headphones and didn’t notice the explosion wasn’t playing)
All in all, I doubt the staff will fix this issue as gears have been deprecated for years, and users who do own the Ban Hammer are very few, and many of them are inactive.
I inserted it using this insert service code: game:GetService(“InsertService”):LoadAsset(id).Parent = game.Workspace which i have been using for years without failure
I had already tested the gear in R6 before i made the post, the video i provided was purely to show the missing texture, my client was clearly the issue of this at the time but i had seen multiple people also talk about its grey appearance, i will be removing the texture half of the post and making it purely about the script.
I have been testing the functionality for hours with multiple different ways of importing the gear and different ways of testing it on a player and i cannot replicate what youve shown in the video you sent, from my knowledge i havent seen it properly work since early 2020 when they released the eggphone
The wiki also talks about the gear being almost completely broken, though this may not be a completely reliable source
Hiya - sorry for the late response. I’ve made a reproduction game where I can actively reproduce the Ban Hammer’s animation and function working. I’ve inserted this using the same code you ran in the commandbar to insert the Ban Hammer. Feel free to test.
