Glitch when I 'rerig' my character to play animation with Motor6D's

In game you would just have to “rerig” the model in a script, which just involves creating the Motor6Ds, setting their Part0 and Part1 properties, and for the smoothest experience set the offsets to the proper offset

Hello everyone, When I try to ‘rerig’ a vent model and create the Motor6Ds, the player’s character snaps in this weird position:

Here is the script:

local ClickDetector = game.Workspace.Map.Vent.VentBase.ClickDetector
local VentBase = Instance.new("Motor6D")
local VentPart = Instance.new("Motor6D")
local Vent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Vent

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	
	local chr = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	local target = game.Workspace.Map.Vent.PrimaryPart
	
	function lookAt(chr,target) --assume chr is a character and target is a brick to look towards
		if chr.PrimaryPart then --just make sure the character's HRP has loaded
			local chrPos=chr.PrimaryPart.Position --get the position of the HRP
			local tPos=target.Position --get the position of the target
			local newCF=CFrame.new(chrPos,tPos) --create our CFrame
			chr:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(newCF) --set the HRP's CFrame to our result, thus moving the character!
		end
	end
	
	player.Character:moveTo(Vector3.new(-42, 3, -27.61 ),lookAt(chr, target))
	
	lookAt(chr, target)
	
	game:GetService("ContextActionService"):BindActionAtPriority(
		"t",
		function()
			return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink
		end,
		false,
		Enum.ContextActionPriority.High.Value + 1,
		unpack(Enum.PlayerActions:GetEnumItems())
	)
	
	local newVent = Vent:Clone()
	newVent.Parent = player.Character

	VentBase.Name = "VentBase"
	VentBase.Part0 = chr.HumanoidRootPart
	VentBase.Part1 = chr.Vent.VentBase
	VentBase.Parent = chr.HumanoidRootPart
	
	VentPart.Name = "VentPart"
	VentPart.Part0 = chr.Vent.VentBase
	VentPart.Part1 = chr.Vent.VentPart
	VentPart.Parent = chr.Vent.VentBase
	
	
	
	--game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(player)
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent2.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(isnotMoving) 
	if isnotMoving == false then
		game:GetService("ContextActionService"):UnbindAction("t")
	end
end)

This is a local script. You don’t use local scripts to make manipulations to joints other than animating.

alr, I will try changing it to a script? Would that fix the problem? I set up the Motor6D’s for after Loading in a vent animation.

[Weldify]

It’s highly unlikely that just changing the script will work. You will have to adapt it to work on the server. I would rather advise you to find a different solution to your problem rather than changing rigs mid game.

[Grayuu]

I mean is there any other way to animate a model than using Motor6D’s? I remember that ppl use Motor6D’s to animate their gun models in game.

[Weldify]

Yes, Motor6D’s are used to animate things. But why would you need to change rigs mid game?

[Grayuu]

its a Vent animation, if I parent the vent model with the player character to after animate it, would that not also like move the vent model with the character?

[Weldify]

Just place the character on top of the vent and animate both separately. I don’t see the issue with doing that.

[Grayuu]

The Problem is, I already have a vent animation:

In the Workspace it looks like this:

What do you mean by placing the character on top of the vent? How would I animate them both separately?

[Weldify]

Animate both of them separately and then play 2 animations at the same time

[Grayuu]

But then I will have to rig the model with an HRP right? Let me try it out.

[Weldify]

You dont have to rig the vent, there is a thing called AnimationController which allows to play animations without humanoids

[Grayuu]

Really? Is it a plugin or already in Roblox Studio?

[Weldify]

It’s a class that exists in studio.

[Grayuu]

How would I use it I never heard about it?

[Weldify]

The same way you animate a humanoid…

I tried AnimationControllers but there is a weird glitch happening when I try to animate, maybe because of the offset or something?:
