Dumb question about anchoring and scripts

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a really dumb question but i couldnt find anything on the devforum about it so I wanted to ask if maybe it is normal:

In one of my scripts after you equip a tool, 8 parts are supposed to un-anchor. And it seems as though only after i touch that part it becomes un-anchored. Is this normal?

Hmmmm, Can you send the script?

#4 
function abc()
	bbl.Anchored = false
	bbr.Anchored = false
	btl.Anchored = false
	btr.Anchored = false
	fbl.Anchored = false
	fbr.Anchored = false
	ftl.Anchored = false
	ftr.Anchored = false
end

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	frame.Visible = true
	text.Visible = true
	wait(5)
	frame.Visible = false
	abc()
	text.Text = "Time has slowed down!, Jump on the cube to quickly make it fall apart!"
end)
#5

Maybe do like this:

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	frame.Visible = true
	text.Visible = true
	wait(5)
	frame.Visible = false
	bbl.Anchored = false
	bbr.Anchored = false
	btl.Anchored = false
	btr.Anchored = false
	fbl.Anchored = false
	fbr.Anchored = false
	ftl.Anchored = false
	ftr.Anchored = false
	text.Text = "Time has slowed down!, Jump on the cube to quickly make it fall apart!"
end)

I think it should work!

Ok thanks i will try it out.

Weird. That also didnt work. Could it be because tools dont work well with anchoring parts?

#8

It may be.

#9

is that all inside local script?

#10

Yeah I am new to coding and I thought if i only want the one player who equips the tool to see the parts get un-anchored, it had to run on the client/on a local script. So to answer your question in one word, yes it is.

#11

Do you get any errors in the output?

#12

Not a single error in the output.

#13

this could be becuase of network owner of those parts if you know how to use remote events make sure to unachor them from the server

#14

is that local script?
(char limit)

#15

You do not change properties of anything in the workspace in the client side. Do it in the server side, with the use of remote events.

#16

Yes it is, he/she already said it.

#17

ok thank you I will look into remote events and like V_ladzec said check network owners.

if you want only one player to see them get unachored then those parts should be created/cloned inside local script

#19 
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	frame.Visible = true
	text.Visible = true
	wait(5)
	for _, v in pairs(tool:GetChildren()) do
     if v:IsA("BasePart") then
          v.Anchored = false
     end
   end
	text.Text = "Time has slowed down!, Jump on the cube to quickly make it fall apart!"
end)
