Character welding

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to weld backpacks & items to a player’s character.
When I tested this, people without the default character meshes for the body parts I’m trying to weld to don’t have the backpacks or items.
I’ve already debugged it, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

I know it’s ugly but here’s the function lol

m.EquipExplosive = function(player)
local character = player.Character
print(1)
if character then
	print(2)
	for i,v in next, character:GetChildren() do
		if v.Name == "GameExplosive" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	local data = PlayerData.PlayerData[tostring(player.UserId)]
	if data then
		print(3)
		local einfo = GameData["Explosives"][data.CurrentExplosive]
		if einfo then
			print(4)
			local model = Explosives:FindFirstChild(data.CurrentExplosive)
			if model then
				print(5)
				local rhand = character:FindFirstChild("RightHand")
				if rhand then
					print(6)
					local new = model:Clone()
					new.Name = "GameExplosive"
					local handle = new:WaitForChild("Handle")
					for i,v in next, new:GetChildren() do
						if v ~= handle then
							local weld = Instance.new("Motor6D",handle)
							weld.Part0 = handle
							weld.Part1 = v
							weld.C0 = CFrame.new().toObjectSpace(handle.CFrame,v.CFrame)
							v.Anchored = false
						end
					end
					local mainweld = Instance.new("Motor6D",handle)
					mainweld.Part0 = rhand
					mainweld.Part1 = handle
					handle.Anchored = false
					handle.Transparency = 1
					local info = ExplosiveInfo:Clone()
					info.Parent = new
					new.Parent = character
					for i,v in next, info:GetChildren() do
						if v:IsA("Script") or v:IsA("LocalScript") then
							v.Disabled = false
						end
					end
					wait(0.1)
					print(new.Parent,mainweld.Part0,mainweld.Part1)
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

It would help us to help you if you could give us the prints you get when you run this script.

I’ve created a simple function for you to weld items to a player’s back. To use this function it will require you to have an object, which is a model with a specified PrimaryPart. You may specify an optional offset. I have also provided an example .rbxl file that shows this function in use. :+1:

This should allow you to weld “backpacks” to a player’s back which will work with any type of package, including R6. If you need to make things weld to the player’s hand, you can change CharacterTorso to their RightHand or LeftHand, this function is primarily just an example of how to weld it correctly. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

local function AttachToBack(Player, Object, Offset)
     if not Offset then Offset = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) end
     Object = Object:Clone()
     local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
     local CharacterTorso = Character:FindFirstChild("Torso") or Character:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso")
     
     Object.Parent = Character
     Object:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CharacterTorso.CFrame * CFrame.new(Offset))
     
     local Weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
     Weld.Parent = Object
     Weld.Part0 = CharacterTorso
     Weld.Part1 = Object.PrimaryPart
end

Here is the .rbxl file; you can find the testing model inside ReplicatedStorage and the primary script which showcases this function in ServerScriptService.

Um this doesn’t include welding and I’m not sure if your mechanics would interfere with this but I would just use an assecory with a body back attachment and clone it into the player to make a backpack

I’ve already showed use case of that on my post.

Doesn’t that only weld 1 part though? How do I keep all of the parts of the backpack to stick with the PrimaryPart using that code?

#8

my bad, all of the prints simply say what I expected them to say, which is how it should work, but then it won’t show up in the game.

#10

Why did you need to take the code from my .rbxl file which I provided above and give him the same thing with one difference…? Plus the functionality you added was already in the function, you just added unnecessary code, I won’t make this out to be a big deal but that feel’s like a great slap in the face towards me.

P.S. If you bothered to read my code, you’d realize you don’t need the “if statement” to check if Player.Character is a thing. :confused:

The reason his worked rather than yours, and the solution to my issue was simply the Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded event, which was preventing me to weld something to the character’s hand or upper torso the moment the character is added.

This is the solution that works for Embers case. @CleverSource solution does not work on players using a different body other than the default Roblox char. His solution also does not weld the backpack together as ember stated he needed. I was also told that my post was deleted and clever’s post was made solution without Embers influence, even though mine was marked as the solution earlier.

local function AttachToBack(player, object)
   object = object:Clone()
   local char = player.Character
        
   object.Parent = char
   object:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(char.UpperTorso.CFrame)
   
   for _, v in pairs(object:GetChildren()) do
   	
   	if v:IsA("BasePart") and v ~= object.PrimaryPart then
   		
   		local weldPart = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
   		weldPart.Parent = object.PrimaryPart
   		weldPart.Part0 = object.PrimaryPart
   		weldPart.Part1 = v
   		
   	end
   	
   end
        
   local weld = Instance.new("Motor6D")
   weld.C0 = CFrame.new(char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * -.75)
   weld.Parent = char.UpperTorso
   weld.Part0 = char.UpperTorso
   weld.Part1 = object.PrimaryPart

end

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) 
   
   player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(character)
   	
   	AttachToBack(player, ReplicatedStorage.TestModel)
   
   end)

end)
