Hi all. I wanted to make player’s parts fall off and fall to the ground and also not keep animating when the character is moving. Had a look around for something quick but couldn’t find much so I wrote the below code. It works perfectly, and one advantage is that I can just re enable the Motors to re attach the part back to the player if need be in the game. But just wondering if there is a more efficient way to do it. Cause all this is just for one arm
Also the only draw back with it is that if the player is jumping at the time, the part falls right through the ground. So I disabled jump just before the script runs to stop that from happening.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
task.wait(5)
-- PARTS
local rightUpperArm = character.RightUpperArm
local rightLowerArm = character.RightLowerArm
local rightHand = character.RightHand
-- Create Welds
local LowerToUpperWeld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint") -- Glue Lower and Upper Arms together
LowerToUpperWeld.Part0 = rightUpperArm
LowerToUpperWeld.Part1 = rightLowerArm
LowerToUpperWeld.Parent = rightLowerArm
local lowerToHandWeld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint") -- Glue Lower and Hand together
lowerToHandWeld.Part0 = rightLowerArm
lowerToHandWeld.Part1 = rightHand
lowerToHandWeld.Parent = rightHand
-- Turn on collisions so doesn't fall through floor
rightUpperArm.CanCollide = true
rightLowerArm.CanCollide = true
rightHand.CanCollide = true
-- Disable Motors
rightHand.RightWrist.Enabled = false
rightLowerArm.RightElbow.Enabled = false
rightUpperArm.RightShoulder.Enabled = false
end)
If I clone it, it won’t retain what the player is wearing.
But I can attach the limb back to the player just by re-enabling the Motor (As long as the limb didn’t fall into the ether).
Iv’e since re-written as a Function. Now I can call the function with the names of body parts to drop
local function DropBodyParts(...)
local args = {...}
local character = currentPlayer.Character
-- PARTS
if #args == 0 then print("No arguments, exiting function") return end
if #args == 1 then -- A single bodypart to drop with no welds needed
print("Dropping: "..args[1])
local bodyPart = character:FindFirstChild(args[1])
if bodyPart then -- If it exists
bodyPart.CanCollide = true
bodyPart:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Motor").Enabled = false
end
elseif #args == 2 then -- Two bodyparts to drop one weld needed
print("Dropping: "..args[1].." and "..args[2])
local bodyPart1 = character:FindFirstChild(args[1])
if bodyPart1 then
local bodyPart2 = character:FindFirstChild(args[2])
if bodyPart2 then
print("Found both Parts")
-- Weld them
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Part0 = bodyPart1
weld.Part1 = bodyPart2
weld.Parent = bodyPart2
-- Allow collisions
bodyPart1.CanCollide = true
bodyPart2.CanCollide = true
-- Detach from Player
bodyPart1:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Motor").Enabled = false
bodyPart2:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Motor").Enabled = false
end
end
elseif #args == 3 then -- Three bodyparts to drop, Two welds needed
end
end
task.wait(4)
-- Syntax - send through Weld Root first and children after
DropBodyParts("RightUpperArm","RightLowerArm","RightHand")
Ahh, yes. That link just made me realize I can just clone the entire Character, make an array of the body parts and use the parts at will. Way simpler. Nice…
