Can I make a tool go in the left hand instead of the right?

[IAmPinleon (Pinleon)]

So I want to make a dual wield lightsaber but the tool always goes to the right hand and I can’t think of anything to do.

This is all I want to know.

I’m thinking I could put an attachment to the left hand, but I don’t know if it would work.

You’d probably be best off using a pseudotool method, like the one shown by colbert here:

What's the most efficient way to attach model to player's hand/anything else

I call this one the no-code accessory method. It uses the underappreciated accessories and the amazing attachment setup already found in Humanoids. All you need to do is call AddAccessory on the knife after cloning it. As for welding, do it in Studio with WeldConstraints, don’t write code for it. There’s of course many ways to make pseudotools, as in attaching models to arms instead of using tools. I’m a big fan of it and do it a lot. I’ll just be showing you the easy and quick way without much…

Even if it’s not mainly intended for left-handed tools:

Note that this works for left-handed tools as well.

I’m having a problem. A quick banner thing I made isn’t showing up.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	repeat wait() until plr.Character
	local banner = game.ServerStorage.Banner
	plr.Character.Humanoid:AddAccessory(banner:Clone())
end)

Can you show your Explorer? You might’ve set up the attachments wrong or something, I’m not sure.

The part (well, a union in this case) with the Attachment in it should be called “Handle”. Also, since it’s the left hand, you want the LeftGripAttachment.

Why am I stupid? Idk I totally forgot about the Handle thing.

I know that I’m really late, but I realized that you can set the RightGripAttachment’s local position to that of the LeftGripAttachment’s, if you want to still use a tool but have it in the left hand.

Kind of a hacky way to do this. Not sure if this’ll help you.

Tool=script.Parent
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	
	if Tool.Parent["Right Arm"]:WaitForChild("RightGrip") then
		
		Tool.Parent["Right Arm"].RightGrip.Parent=Tool.Parent["Left Arm"]
		Tool.Parent["Left Arm"].RightGrip.Part0=Tool.Parent["Left Arm"]
		
	end
end)

@BlueNoodle29

you can set the RightGripAttachment’s local position to that of the LeftGripAttachment’s, if you want to still use a tool but have it in the left hand.
