Gear Not Working Correctly

[harknesscj (Guest 1846)]

I made a boxing glove gear and it only shows on one hand, any fix?

Instead of using a Tool you can use RigidConstraints and Attachments

1. Create a Attachment in the boxing glove
2. Create RigidConstraint with a Script like this:

local character = ...
local leftGlove = ...
local rightGlove = ...
-- define the gloves and character first
local rightHand = character:WaitForChild("RightHand")
local leftHand = character:WaitForChild("LeftHand")
local rightGripAttachment = rightHand:WaitForChild("RightGripAttachment")
local leftGripAttachment = leftHand:WaitForChild("LeftGripAttachment")

local rightGloveConstraint = Instance.new("RigidConstraint", rightHand)
rightGloveConstraint.Attachment0 = rightGripAttachment
rightGloveConstraint.Attachment1 = rightGlove.Attachment

local leftGloveConstraint = Instance.new("RigidConstraint", leftHand)
leftGloveConstraint.Attachment0 = leftGripAttachment
leftGloveConstraint.Attachment1 = leftGlove.Attachment

3. Then we can load and play animations like idle and hit using the Animator:LoadAnimation() method

New Physics Class: RigidConstraint

Introducing a new class of physics constraint, RigidConstraint! [Rigid Constraint_Icon_32px-1] RigidConstraint forms a connection between two Attachments or Bones, analogous to how a Weld or WeldConstraint forms a rigid connection between two parts. RigidConstraint makes it easy to attach an accessory to an avatar without scripting (use the RigAttachments directly) or to just put two parts together with attachments. This also simplifies existing content pipelines that were mimicking this func…

If you are using a tool, it will only be attached to the right hand. To fix this, you will need to add a script to set the CFrame of a part to where you want it to be and weld it do that part of the character.

For example, at add a boxing glove to the left hand, you would need to set the CFrame of a MeshPart/Part to the LeftHand of the character and add a WeldConstraint to attach it. This will allow it to be in the correct position and move with the character.

Hope this helps

Here’s an example video showing what I said before in Studio:

The instance tree:

The attachments:

GlovesGiver Script:

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

local leftGloveMesh = ServerStorage.LeftGlove
local rightGloveMesh = ServerStorage.RightGlove

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player: Player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character: Model)
		local leftGlove = leftGloveMesh:Clone()
		local rightGlove = rightGloveMesh:Clone()
		
		leftGlove.Anchored = false
		rightGlove.Anchored = false

		local rightHand = character:WaitForChild("RightHand")
		local leftHand = character:WaitForChild("LeftHand")
		local rightGripAttachment = rightHand:WaitForChild("RightGripAttachment")
		local leftGripAttachment = leftHand:WaitForChild("LeftGripAttachment")

		local rightGloveConstraint = Instance.new("RigidConstraint", rightHand)
		rightGloveConstraint.Attachment0 = rightGripAttachment
		rightGloveConstraint.Attachment1 = rightGlove.Attachment
		rightGlove.Parent = character
		
		local leftGloveConstraint = Instance.new("RigidConstraint", leftHand)
		leftGloveConstraint.Attachment0 = leftGripAttachment
		leftGloveConstraint.Attachment1 = leftGlove.Attachment
		leftGlove.Parent = character
	end)
end)
