How to make a multi-part tool

Please no longer refer to this guide, as it is outdated. IF you still wish to refer to the guide (not recommended) you can view the edit history.

Here’s why:
As mentioned in post 2, the plugin is outdated and uses classic Roblox welds, which I am not sure even work anymore. Most of the information stating that only classic Roblox welds work is FALSE, as I have tested it myself.

I may at some point rewrite the guide, but as is also stated, new guides already exist.

Yours,
Mac

P.S: If you have any more questions, feel free to message me on Devforum, my Roblox group’s wall, or my Roblox group’s Discord Communication Server (I am no longer receiving notifications on this thread).

Try Searching the forum again. I used the term “tool falling apart” and found:

My weld plugin is quite dated and doesn’t use modern constraints - you should use WeldConstraint for this instead of ManualWeld (which is what I believe my plugin uses).

WeldConstraints don’t keep a part in the same position when moved (unlike Weld). Therefore, they aren’t welds.

When I was doing my research, there was well… nothing about this. And as ill say again, I want to put it all in one place for people to use.
