How do I move parts that are welded while not destroying the weld in the process?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

The title says it all, I want to move a part that is welded to another part without destroying the weld, is there any way to do this?

#2

¿Did you try with WeldConstraint?

#3

yes those are the welds that im using, I want to move that part without the weldconstraint destroying itself

#4

u can set cframe to the main part welded

#5

i know that if i do this the weld dosent destroy itself but I want to move the part that is being welded to the main part

#6

oh in this case is so annoying

#7

do I have to move it then weld it again? I wanted to avoid this since I thought there might be another way of doing it

#8

Do you mean in game, or in Studio?

We need a bit more information about the 2 parts (like is either one Anchored?) and how you are trying to move them (CFrame, physics, using a placement script in-game, etc.)

You can use MoveTo for models, or if you need to CFrame move a single Part and have the other Unanchored Parts welded to it move as well then you can Tween just the Anchored Part and use WeldConstraints without them breaking.

With scripts:
Try setting the WeldConstraint’s Enabled property to false, moving the part, then re-enabling it.

With the studio tools (move, rotate, scale, etc):
WeldConstraints should not “break” when either Part0 or Part1 are moved, if they are regular Welds/Motor6Ds/etc (There is a difference), your gonna have to set C0 and/or C1 with a script.
