Easiest way to Get the Box on the Right Hand?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a pick up system, where you grab a box pick it up and hold it.

The only problem though, is that the box is way off from being normal:

(as seen here)

What would be the best approach to fix this?

(Server) Script:

local interact = script.Parent
local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")
local newCharPos = script.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("CharacterPos")

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local animFolder = rs.Animations
local grab = animFolder.Grab
local hold = animFolder.Holding

local function grabbed(player)
	local holding = player:WaitForChild("isHolding")
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	local human = character.Humanoid
	local humRootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart
	
	local grabAnim = human.Animator:LoadAnimation(grab)
	local holdAnim = human.Animator:LoadAnimation(hold)
	
	if holding.Value == false then
		human.WalkSpeed = 0
		humRootPart.CFrame = newCharPos.CFrame
		task.wait(0.5)
		grabAnim:Play()
		task.wait(0.14) 
		
		local boxModel = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
		boxModel.Parent = player.Character
		
		local box = boxModel.Box
		box.Union.Anchored = false
		interact.Parent.Anchored = false
		box.Union.CanCollide = false
		
		box.Union.CFrame = player.Character.RightHand.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(-51.33, 5.536, -7.937) -- I was doing it manually here.
		
		local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", box)
		weld.Part1 = box.Union
		weld.Part0 = player.Character.RightHand
		
		grabAnim.Stopped:Wait()
		
		human.WalkSpeed = 16
		holdAnim:Play()
		holding.Value = true
		interact.Enabled = false
	end
end

interact.Triggered:Connect(grabbed)

It just depends what Normal holding is to you, any example models of what you want it to look like?

After about ~15 minutes messing with it, I got this:

It satisfies me enough, but I’d like to know a much easier way if you know of any.

I recommend using this Tool Grip Editor plugin. However, it is paid.

Is there an animation with the hands while moving. If you’re going for a normal look i would say just make them hold it with both hands horizontally. If it is a tool as the guy above said, go with that.

Here is a free Tool Grip Plugin made by @EgoMoose.
This should get the job done well! Tool grip editor - Roblox

I used that as my first idea, then remembered its not a tool lol.

I just placed the model into the Character to make things a bit easier…

Apart from this.

To make it look like you are actually holding the box with your hand, you will need to make a weld between the box and the hand, and change the size of the box to be the exact size of your hand.
So, first, you will want to set the size of the box to be equal to the hand. This can be done by looking at the box in studio, and setting the size values to be the same as your hand. Then, you can copy the size values of the box and past them into your script:
box.Size = Vector3.new(INSERT VALUES HERE)

And then to make the weld:
local weld = Instance.new(“Weld”, box)
weld.Part0 = box.Union
weld.Part1 = player.Character.RightHand

I got it working,
I recommend instead of running the game, getting the hand size, copy and paste. Roblox has many different character packages, so I don’t think the hand size will all be the same. Instead do:

box.Size = Vector3.new(player.Character.RightHand.Size)
