How do I make a model fall without it being destroyed in pieces

[Nilsou21]

Ok so, I have a model, let’s call it FallingModel, I would like to make it fall but NOT being totally destroyed into pieces, what I mean is that I do not want to just unanchor each descendant of the model but make the model just fall like a big block except 1 or 2 parts but I’m going to do this on my own, I have enough experience to do so.

So what I call “Falling and destroyed into pieces” is this (first image is the FallingModel not falling and the 2nd is when it has fell but I unanchored all of its descendants):

I tried to use welds like this:

for i, child in pairs(FallingShelf:GetChildren()) do
	if child:IsA("BasePart") then
		local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
		weld.Part0 = shelf:FindFirstChild("Block")
		weld.Part1 = child
		weld.Parent = child
		child.Anchored = false
	end
end

I do not need a WHOLE script, I just need your help so I can know what I should use, I want code snippets instead showing what to use and how to do (for example).

Thanks!

You can use WeldConstraints. It can weld stuff correctly without scripts.

Use WeldConstraint instead of Welds. They are simpler.

for i, child in pairs(FallingShelf:GetChildren()) do
	if child:IsA("BasePart") then
		local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
		weld.Part1 = shelf:FindFirstChild("Block")
		weld.Part0 = child
		weld.Parent = child
		child.Anchored = false
	end
end

Nice, I’ll go try that out!
Thanks for your answer!

You’re welcome!!

Why is there a character limit

[Nilsou21]

Oh well, thanks, seems like that this fixed lol, thanks! I’ll just make it so a few of the parts will not be welded together !

Thanks for your help!

Why is there a character limit

because they do not want huge replies I guess because it would be too much large strings to store lol

[Giuyo4]

I meant there is a limit that doesn’t let you write 30 or less characters.

Ahh yeah I see
it’s to prevent “useless” answers, like “ok”
