Help with adding a part to a character

So I want to add boots to a player.

I saw this topic already: How do you add a part to a character?

And I tried doing what the guy said, but I still can’t do it.

Thank you for reading

Do you want it to add the part when the player clicks a button or what?

I want it to be added when they join the game or respawn.

Okay so you wanna add a normal part to the player right? so insert a script into serverscriptservice and write this!


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local part = Instance.new("Part", character)
	part.Name = "Part"
end)

Hope this helped!

Just to add, it’s not a good practice to use the Character parameter of Instance.new() if it’s a custom part, which it most likely will be: PSA: Don't use Instance.new() with parent argument

If you already have the part stored somewhere, let’s just say handPart in ServerStorage; you can do:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local chr = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local handPart = game.ServerStorage.handPart:Clone()
    --Configure everything first, then parent it.
    handPart.Parent = chr
end)

Not that what you’re currently doing is wrong, but I feel like it could be improved (this part is for the topic creator). :smile:

If you want it to stick with the player you can do this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local part = game.ReplicatedStorage.Part:Clone()
	part.Parent = character	 
	
	local Weld = Instance.new("Weld", part)
	Weld.Name = "Weld"
	Weld.Part0 = part
	Weld.Part1 = character.Head
end)

Hope this helped!
