Break welds once model is touched

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so I have this script for when a model is touched but how do I expand on that to break all welds in the model, once it is touched.

local model = script.Parent

local function onModelTouched(part)

– Filter any instances of the model coming in contact with itself

if part:IsDescendantOf(model) then return end

print(model:GetFullName() … " was touched by " … part:GetFullName())

end

for _, child in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do

if child:IsA(“BasePart”) then

child.Touched:Connect(onModelTouched)

end

end

#2

Format code moment

local model = script.Parent

local function onModelTouched(part)
    – Filter any instances of the model coming in contact with itself
    if part:IsDescendantOf(model) then return end
    print(model:GetFullName() … " was touched by " … part:GetFullName())
end

for _, child in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
    if child:IsA(“BasePart”) then
        child.Touched:Connect(onModelTouched)
    end
end

I think you can check for every Descendant of the Model whenever it gets touched? Unless if you want the BreakJoints() function, I can give you a sample if you want

well yes, I was going to use the break joints function but I don’t know where to put it.

Gotcha, well I’ll briefly explain it then:

local Part = script.Parent
--So say we make a function that fires whenever it touches something

local function Touched(Hit) --The parameter 'Hit' is what the part hit lol
    if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then --Here, we're checking to see if the Hit's Parent (Character's Humanoid) is valid at all
        Hit.Parent:BreakJoints() --If we have found a Model, then we can break its joints!
    end
end

Part.Touched:Connect(Touched) --We also wanna connect the function as well with the Touched event

If you have any more questions feel free to ask :L

well I’ve found an alternative way of what I want to do but I can’t seem to connect the hit function to a part, rather than the player, so that when this part touches the model, it breaks the joints.

Model = script.Parent
hit = workspace.Invisible

for _,Part in ipairs(Model:GetDescendants()) do
if Part:IsA(“BasePart”) then
Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

		Model:BreakJoints()
	end)
end

end

#6

Replace Model:BreakJoints with

if hit.Parent:IsA(“Model”) then
hit.Parent:BreakJoints()
end

That will break the joints of the hits parent if it’s a model. For example, if a characters arm touches the part the character will break apart.
