Hey,
The title says almost all, I want player to wear tool on his back when the tool is unequiped and disappear when it’s equipped like in Isle:
In my case, the tool is in StarterPack folder so it’s given to all players automatically:
The Detector model contains all other mesh parts which is the tool made of and all of them are welded to Handle, “Working” is a sound that plays when the tool is on.
I don’t know what should I use to do it, I’ve never messed up with avatars in that way before. Can someone help me?
All tools that are unequipped are stored in the backpack game.Players.PLAYERNAME.Backpack. So you can loop through all the tools and create a clone and weld them to the back of the player in some folder.
you can weld it when you unequip it by using “Attachment” classes.
Or you can make an accessory with a script that functions when you unequip the item, the accessory clones itself from a random directory to the players back, including some CFrames
Can you guys give an example in code? From what you said I can only create something like this:
local character = SerumDetector.Parent.Parent.Character
SerumDetector.Handle.Parent = character
DetectorHandle.Parent = character
DetectorHandle.CFrame = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
SerumDetector.Unequipped:Connect(function()
local character = SerumDetector.Parent.Parent.Character
SerumDetector.Handle.Parent = character
DetectorHandle.Parent = character
DetectorHandle.CFrame = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
end)
SerumDetector.Equipped:Connect(function()
local character = SerumDetector.Parent
character.Handle.Parent = SerumDetector
DetectorHandle.Parent = SerumDetector
end)
The best way to do it would be to create an accessory using your sword mesh (in studio not with a script of course), and store it inside the replicated storage, then within the tool unequiped function you just have to clone it and put it in your character.
You don’t have to guess lol, I just gived you a solution.
Create your sword accessory in the studio, using the right body part attachment and change his position / orientation to be how you want it to be in character back.
store the accessory in the replicated storage.
With a script in your tool, use tool unequiped function to clone it and put it in your character.
in this same script, use tool equiped function to destroy the accessory.
Additionally to this, you’re also able to play a character animation which make the character take/store the sword in his back to make it more realistic if you want to… that’s up to you ^^
You can put all the alternative welded parts inside the main part, then weld doesn’t get disabled.
I know you are not supposed to put parts inside another part as there is a small chance a part is not rendered but it is a risk we have to take as there is no other solutions unless you want to do an accessory for each part which will be a nightmare to do.
Anyway I link you an old tutorial that explain how to do it if you want to.

You can use the code from this place that I made, but the summary is that when the tool is unequipped, the script creates a model and clones the tool. The script loops through the contents of the tool and puts the BaseParts, UnionOperations, and the MeshParts in the model. We then set the model’s PrimaryPart to be the Handle of the tool. The script then creates a new Weld parented to the Torso/UpperTorso. and sets the Part0 property to the torso and the Part1 property to the model’s PrimaryPart. We can then change the C1 property of the weld to change how the tool will appear on the player’s back.
When the tool is equipped, we destroy the weld and the model that was placed on the player’s back.
local Tool = script.Parent
local Character = Tool.Parent.Parent.Character or Tool.Parent.Parent.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Torso = Character:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso") or Character:WaitForChild("UpperTorso")
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
-- Loops through the children of the character's Torso and destroys the ToolBackModel and the Weld
for Index, Child in pairs(Torso:GetChildren()) do
if Child:IsA("Model") and Child.Name == "ToolBackModel" then
Child:Destroy()
end
if Child:IsA("Weld") and Child.Name == "ToolBackWeld" then
Child:Destroy()
end
end
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
-- Create a model called "ToolBackModel" and clone the tool
local ToolClone = Tool:Clone()
local ToolBackModel = Instance.new("Model")
ToolBackModel.Parent = Torso
ToolBackModel.Name = "ToolBackModel"
-- Loops through the contents of the Tool Clone and puts them into the ToolBackModel
for Index, Child in pairs(ToolClone:GetChildren()) do
if Child:IsA("BasePart") or Child:IsA("MeshPart") or Child:IsA("UnionOperation") then
Child.Parent = ToolBackModel
-- Sets the child's CanCollide and Massless properties so they don't add mass to the player or interfere with collisions
Child.CanCollide = false
Child.Massless = true
end
end
-- Sets the PrimaryPart to the Tool's handle
ToolBackModel.PrimaryPart = ToolBackModel:FindFirstChild("Handle")
-- Creates the Weld
local ToolBackWeld = Instance.new("Weld")
ToolBackWeld.Name = "ToolBackWeld"
-- Parents the weld to the torso so it can be destroyed when the tool is equipped
ToolBackWeld.Parent = Torso
-- Welds the tool model to the torso
ToolBackWeld.Part0 = Torso
ToolBackWeld.Part1 = ToolBackModel:FindFirstChild("Handle")
-- Change the C1 property to change how the tool model will appear on the player's back
ToolBackWeld.C1 = CFrame.new(0.077, 0.036, -0.6) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(50)) -- Be sure to use math.rad() for CFrame.Angles() since it uses radians not degrees
end)
I would normally recommend attempting to write the script yourself to better understand it, rather than just copying somebody else’s code. With that said, here’s a script you can put in ServerScriptService:
local players = game:GetService('Players')
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local itemAdded = player.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(tool)
if tool:IsA('Tool') then
local handle = tool:WaitForChild('Handle'):Clone()
handle.Name = tool.Name
local backPosition = tool:GetAttribute('BackPosition') or Vector3.new(0,0.25,0.55)
local backOrientation = tool:GetAttribute('BackOrientation') or Vector3.new(90,-22.5,0)
while not player.Character do task.wait() end
handle.Parent = player.Character
local weld = Instance.new('Weld',handle)
weld.Part1 = handle
repeat
local torso = player.Character:FindFirstChild('Torso')
if torso then
weld.Part0 = torso
torso = nil
else
torso = player.Character:FindFirstChild('UpperTorso')
if torso then
weld.Part0 = torso
torso = nil
end
end
if weld.Active then
break
end
task.wait()
until false
weld.C0 = CFrame.new(backPosition)*CFrame.Angles(math.rad(backOrientation.X),math.rad(backOrientation.Y),math.rad(backOrientation.Z))
weld = nil
local leavingBackpack
leavingBackpack = tool:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Parent'):Connect(function()
if not tool.Parent then
leavingBackpack:Disconnect()
leavingBackpack = nil
tool = nil
handle = nil
backPosition = nil
backOrientation = nil
elseif tool.Parent ~= player.Backpack then
task.wait()
handle:Destroy()
end
end)
end
end)
local leaving
leaving = players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
if plr == player then
itemAdded:Disconnect()
itemAdded = nil
leaving:Disconnect()
leaving = nil
end
end)
end)
I set the defaults to work with the classic sword tool, but you can customize the offsets by adding the following attributes to your tool and adjusting them that way:
I’ll quickly add down here about why this script is a bit more complicated than it should be. For one, Backpack.ChildAdded just doesn’t work because apparently the first loaded Backpack becomes nil and is replaced. I then also had to add a repeat loop because when a tool is added too quickly, it just doesn’t attach properly. The loop only executes once, which makes no sense as to why it doesn’t just set directly, but here we are I guess. Took me way longer than it should’ve due to these weird Roblox bugs.
