Help with removing RightGrip from Character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, so basically a weld called ‘RightGrip’ keeps on messing up my tool animation. When I attempt to remove it through a script, it produced this warning:

The Script:

for i, weld in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
	if weld:IsA("Weld") and weld.Name == "RightGrip" then
		weld:Destroy()
	end
end

script.Parent.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(Unwelcomeone)
	if Unwelcomeone:IsA("Weld") and Unwelcomeone.Name == "RightGrip" then
		Unwelcomeone:Destroy()
	end
end)

Any help is appreciated :wink:

For the warning, you just usually wait until the RightGrip weld is finished parenting, or just add weld.Destroying which usually silences that warn

How do I wait for the right grip to finish parenting?

#4 
script.Parent.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(Unwelcomeone)
	if Unwelcomeone:IsA("Weld") and Unwelcomeone.Name == "RightGrip" then
		task.wait()
		Unwelcomeone:Destroy()
	end
end)

Now usually you’d use while loop like

while weld.Parent == nil do end
--code here

but, its kind of better to do

weld.Destroying:Connect(function()
      print("weld destroying")
end)

so far my most used method to silence that warning

	Players.CharacterAdded:Connect(OnCharacterAdded)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerAdded)
