Code Issues - Cloning Model onto Activated Tool

PipeSader · February 24, 2024, 2:51pm

Hello! I’m trying to make the plate clone and be placed under my activated tool (only the one that is activated). What am I doing wrong?

Below you can see the console output of my code:

server-script:

local proxPrompt = script.Parent.base.ProximityPrompt
local plateModel = script.Parent

proxPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	print("Proximity prompt triggered")
	if player then
		print("Player found:", player.Name)
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			print("Character found for player:", player.Name)
			local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				print("Humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
				local tool = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Activated") -- Buscar la herramienta activada
				if tool then
					print("Tool activated for player:", player.Name)
					-- Clonar el modelo del plato debajo de la herramienta
					local plateClone = plateModel:Clone()
					plateClone.Parent = tool
					plateClone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(tool.Handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0)) -- Ajustar la posición debajo de la herramienta
					print("Plate cloned and positioned under activated tool for player:", player.Name)
				else
					print("No activated tool found for player:", player.Name)
				end
			else
				print("No humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
			end
		else
			print("No character found for player:", player.Name)
		end
	else
		print("No player found")
	end
end)

i mean nothing but is the Activated located inside the humanoid??

PipeSader · February 24, 2024, 3:36pm

Hmm, you’re right. Look, I tried it this way and it still doesn’t work. It prints the following:

server-script:

local proxPrompt = script.Parent.base.ProximityPrompt
local plateModel = script.Parent

proxPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	print("Proximity prompt triggered")
	if player then
		print("Player found:", player.Name)
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			print("Character found for player:", player.Name)
			local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				print("Humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
				-- Connect the Activated event outside the for loop
				local activatedTool = nil
				for _, tool in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
					if tool:IsA("Tool") then
						if tool.Activated then
							tool.Activated:Connect(function()
								activatedTool = tool
							end)
						end
					end
				end

				-- Wait a short time for the Activated event to be triggered
				wait(0.1)

				-- Check for an activated and equipped tool
				if activatedTool and activatedTool:IsEquipped() then
					print("Activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
					-- Clone the plate model under the activated and equipped tool
					local plateClone = plateModel:Clone()
					plateClone.Parent = activatedTool
					plateClone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(activatedTool.Handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0)) -- Adjust the position under the tool
					print("Plate cloned and positioned under activated and equipped tool for player:", player.Name)
				else
					print("No activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
				end
			else
				print("No humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
			end
		else
			print("No character found for player:", player.Name)
		end
	else
		print("No player found")
	end
end)

i dont think “if tool.Activated” is needed it prevent the event from running try to delete it.I might be wrong

PipeSader · February 24, 2024, 3:51pm

I tried it, and it still doesn’t work. What could be wrong?

tienke · February 24, 2024, 3:52pm

If you can put some prints inside that part too to check which one prevent it from working

PipeSader · February 24, 2024, 3:55pm

I tried this and added debug prints, and this is the result, but it still doesn’t perform the cloning or check for the activated state in the tool.

script:

local proxPrompt = script.Parent.base.ProximityPrompt
local plateModel = script.Parent

proxPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	print("Proximity prompt triggered")
	if player then
		print("Player found:", player.Name)
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			print("Character found for player:", player.Name)
			local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				print("Humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
				local activatedTool = nil

				-- Connect the Activated event outside the loop
				local backpack = player.Backpack:GetChildren()
				for _, tool in ipairs(backpack) do
					if tool:IsA("Tool") then
						print("Connecting Activated event for tool:", tool.Name)
						tool.Activated:Connect(function()
							activatedTool = tool
						end)
					end
				end

				-- Wait for the Activated event to be triggered
				wait(0.1)

				-- Check for an activated and equipped tool
				if activatedTool and activatedTool:IsEquipped() then
					print("Activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
					-- Clone the plate model under the activated and equipped tool
					local plateClone = plateModel:Clone()
					plateClone.Parent = activatedTool
					plateClone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(activatedTool.Handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0)) -- Adjust the position under the tool
					print("Plate cloned and positioned under activated and equipped tool for player:", player.Name)
				else
					print("No activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
				end
			else
				print("No humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
			end
		else
			print("No character found for player:", player.Name)
		end
	else
		print("No player found")
	end
end)

You’re searching for the tool inside of the Humanoid instead of the Character

When a player equips a tool it’s parented to the Character not the Humanoid

PipeSader · February 24, 2024, 3:56pm

check this updated script please @JohhnyLegoKing

tienke · February 24, 2024, 3:57pm

Uuuh no he’s right. What he meant is finding the tool in Player Character not in player backpack
You can change to
Local backpack = character:GetDescendants()

PipeSader · February 24, 2024, 4:01pm

Oh, I see… Look, I tried it, but I’m getting the same result.

JohhnyLegoKing · February 24, 2024, 4:02pm

Replace the code in your server script with this:

local plateModel = script.Parent
local proxPrompt = plateModel.base.ProximityPrompt

local function onTriggered(player)
	if player.Character then
		local tool = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Activated")

		if tool then
			local plateClone = plateModel:Clone()
			plateClone:PivotTo(tool.Handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0))
			plateClone.Parent = tool
		end
	end
end

proxPrompt.Triggered:Connect(onTriggered)

tienke · February 24, 2024, 4:02pm

Alr remove the tool.Activated event it doesn’t help much change to if tool.Activated instead
I dont think activatedTool is set

PipeSader · February 24, 2024, 4:10pm

Oh! I managed to solve it!
Now I just need to remove the proximity prompt from my cloned part, anchor it to my tool, and take care of those details. Thanks for the help! Who do I give the resolve to? Everyone helped me a lot.

server-script:

local proxPrompt = script.Parent.base.ProximityPrompt
local plateModel = script.Parent

proxPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	print("Proximity prompt triggered")
	if player then
		print("Player found:", player.Name)
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			print("Character found for player:", player.Name)
			local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				print("Humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
				local activatedTool = nil

				-- Connect the Activated event outside the loop
				local backpack = character:GetChildren()
				for _, tool in ipairs(backpack) do
					if tool:IsA("Tool") then
						print("Connecting Activated event for tool:", tool.Name)
						if tool.Activated then
							activatedTool = tool
							break
						end
					end
				end

				-- Wait for the Activated event to be triggered
				wait(0.1)

				-- Check if the activated tool is equipped
				if activatedTool and activatedTool.Parent == character then
					print("Activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
					-- Clone the plate model under the activated and equipped tool
					local plateClone = plateModel:Clone()
					plateClone.Parent = activatedTool
					plateClone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(activatedTool.Handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0)) -- Adjust the position under the tool
					print("Plate cloned and positioned under activated and equipped tool for player:", player.Name)
				else
					print("No activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
				end
			else
				print("No humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
			end
		else
			print("No character found for player:", player.Name)
		end
	else
		print("No player found")
	end
end)

You can make this post the solution.
Post are asked for solution after all and you made it

lselfaver696969 · February 24, 2024, 4:14pm

just do plate.clone.proxitypormpt (idk how is the proxim named).enabled = false after PlateClone is cloned

JohhnyLegoKing · February 24, 2024, 4:15pm

This should work to make the model move with the Tool

It’s guaranteed to remove the prompt from the clone at least:

local proxPrompt = script.Parent.base.ProximityPrompt
local plateModel = script.Parent

proxPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	print("Proximity prompt triggered")
	if player then
		print("Player found:", player.Name)
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			print("Character found for player:", player.Name)
			local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				print("Humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
				local activatedTool = nil

				-- Connect the Activated event outside the loop
				local backpack = character:GetChildren()
				for _, tool in ipairs(backpack) do
					if tool:IsA("Tool") then
						print("Connecting Activated event for tool:", tool.Name)
						if tool.Activated then
							activatedTool = tool
							break
						end
					end
				end

				-- Wait for the Activated event to be triggered
				wait(0.1)

				-- Check if the activated tool is equipped
				if activatedTool and activatedTool.Parent == character then
					print("Activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
					-- Clone the plate model under the activated and equipped tool
					local plateClone = plateModel:Clone()
					plateClone.base.ProximityPrompt:Destroy()
					plateClone.Parent = activatedTool
					plateClone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(activatedTool.Handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0)) -- Adjust the position under the tool
					print("Plate cloned and positioned under activated and equipped tool for player:", player.Name)

					local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
					weld.Part0 = activatedTool.Handle
					weld.Part1 = plateClone.base
					weld.Parent = activatedTool

					plateClone.base.Anchored = false
				else
					print("No activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
				end
			else
				print("No humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
			end
		else
			print("No character found for player:", player.Name)
		end
	else
		print("No player found")
	end
end)

@PipeSader This method might work better if the Model contains multiple parts:

local proxPrompt = script.Parent.base.ProximityPrompt
local plateModel = script.Parent

proxPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	print("Proximity prompt triggered")
	if player then
		print("Player found:", player.Name)
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			print("Character found for player:", player.Name)
			local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				print("Humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
				local activatedTool = nil

				-- Connect the Activated event outside the loop
				local backpack = character:GetChildren()
				for _, tool in ipairs(backpack) do
					if tool:IsA("Tool") then
						print("Connecting Activated event for tool:", tool.Name)
						if tool.Activated then
							activatedTool = tool
							break
						end
					end
				end

				-- Wait for the Activated event to be triggered
				wait(0.1)

				-- Check if the activated tool is equipped
				if activatedTool and activatedTool.Parent == character then
					print("Activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
					-- Clone the plate model under the activated and equipped tool
					local plateClone = plateModel:Clone()
					plateClone.base.ProximityPrompt:Destroy()
					plateClone.Parent = activatedTool
					plateClone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(activatedTool.Handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0)) -- Adjust the position under the tool
					print("Plate cloned and positioned under activated and equipped tool for player:", player.Name)

					for _, instance in plateClone:GetDescendants() do
						if instance:IsA("BasePart") then
							local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
							weld.Part0 = activatedTool.Handle
							weld.Part1 = instance
							weld.Parent = activatedTool

							instance.Anchored = false
						end
					end
				else
					print("No activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
				end
			else
				print("No humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
			end
		else
			print("No character found for player:", player.Name)
		end
	else
		print("No player found")
	end
end)

Oh thanks it works but i’m having the following issue:

server script:

local proxPrompt = script.Parent.Handle.ProximityPrompt
local plateModel = script.Parent

proxPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)

Instead of:

From what I understand the prompt is located in the Model’s base, not Handle

Oh yes sorry lol i just changed the name of the Base to Handle

here is the error:
