How does roblox position accessories?

[beanandsoupguy]

For example when you use Humanoid:AddAccessory(), and it automatically moves the Accessory to the set location. How do I do that? because I’m making a character that doesn’t have a Humanoid.

I already tried multiplying the HatAttachment’s position(inside the accessory) by the Head’s CFrame, but that didn’t work.

The attachments are lined up together in position and orientation and then welded. If you are using AddAccessory, don’t use any CFraming to modify properties. Just edit the attachment so that it’s in a place that suits your needs and then you’re set.

Take this mini-tutorial I wrote on another’s thread for example wherein I show how to use accessories to weld pseudotools to hands which shows the alignment behaviour:

What's the most efficient way to attach model to player's hand/anything else

I call this one the no-code accessory method. It uses the underappreciated accessories and the amazing attachment setup already found in Humanoids. All you need to do is call AddAccessory on the knife after cloning it. As for welding, do it in Studio with WeldConstraints, don’t write code for it. There’s of course many ways to make pseudotools, as in attaching models to arms instead of using tools. I’m a big fan of it and do it a lot. I’ll just be showing you the easy and quick way without much…
