How to avoid detaching HumanoidRootPart from the character when changing its position?

So I’ve got a script where if a player touches a wall, then it creates a WeldConstraint between player’s HumanoidRootPart and the wall. Then I wanted player to start slowly falling down from the wall, but I couldn’t do this with changing the CFrame of HumanoidRootPart, because the wall would fall with the player. So I tried changing the position of HumanoidRootPart instead, but this caused it to detach fron the rest of player’s characterm, and it look kinda like this:


How to make this work properly?

Instead of setting the HumanoidRootPart’s position property you can do Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame() or Character:MoveTo() which will accomplish the same goal but keep the model’s joints intact

the main problem with Model:MoveTo() is that, if a part is above the position where he wants to be, he will spawn on this part and not at the position

SetPrimaryPartCFrame() ignores that principle

Player’s character is still in the same place that it was before because of the weld
