How to make a tool be held in the left hand?

Hello,

As of late, I have needed to make a tool that holds an item, and allows the hand on the right side to still swing. However, roblox automatically makes tools be held in the right hand, so my only way of making the item stay in the correct place on the left hand is to weld the right hand to stay where it is.

Does anyone know a way I can make the left hand the “dominant” hand for the tool, meaning it would hold the tool instead of the right?

You will have to create your own custom welding system, and attach that tool to the Joint of the LeftHand (LeftWrist Motor6D).

Umm yes. use my plugin to move the tool around, into the left hand: Tool Grip Editor Free - Roblox

Are you even allowed to release a free version of a paid plugin? I mean if you made it then that would be fine, but this is clearly CloneTrooper1019’s plugin.

Nevertheless, moving the Tool Grip to the left hand won’t work. The tool will still follow the right hand. So if you moved your right hand up, it will move up aswell, even if it was on your left hand.

You could place it in the hand, just the arm wouldn’t be up.

You can use WeldConstraints and just make an animation of the player holding with their left arm.

This has been the solution for the last year, however walking around looked ‘dumb’ as one arm, which in theory would still swing, is just standing still.
