How to make tree be laying down in players arms

[Yoda_66 (loganyoda66)]

Hey there, So I have this system where the player can pick up a tree, but after it does so the tree is in an awkward position and i’m wondering what I need to do to have it lying down in the players arms.

local trees = game.Workspace.Trees
local touched = false

for i, tree in pairs(trees:GetChildren()) do
	
	tree.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent.Name ~= "Worker" and touched == false and tree.Parent == trees then
			
			touched = true
			
			local player = hit.Parent
			local hum = player:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			
			--hum.WalkSpeed = hum.WalkSpeed - 10
			
			warn(player.Name)
			
			tree.Parent = player
			tree.Color = Color3.new(0.792157, 0.792157, 0.792157)
			tree.Anchored = false
			tree.CanCollide = false

			local vec = Vector3.new(player["HumanoidRootPart"].Position.X, player["HumanoidRootPart"].Position.Y, player["HumanoidRootPart"].Position.Z)

				tree.CFrame = CFrame.new(player.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0))
				tree.Orientation = Vector3.new(player.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation + Vector3.new(20, -10, 0))

				local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
				weld.Name = "TreeWeld"
				weld.Part0 = tree
				weld.Part1 = player:FindFirstChild("RightUpperArm")
	
				weld.Parent = player

		else
			
		end
		
	end)
	
end

adjust the weld offset or adjust the pivot point of the tree.
i would look at a tutorial or another forum post as i cant remember how to off the top of my head how to do that, but it should work

I would use a Motor6D if you want to move around with the tree and adjust the offsets, but with a dummy rig. Part0 and c0 being the HumanoidRootPart, and Part1 and c1 being the tree’s PrimaryPart. When you have the Motor to your liking, you can just clone/disable and re-enable it and use it as a reference in your code to attach to the player.

Ive tried it and its very difficult tying to figure out the angles and stuff

Ill look into this and lyk how it goes, thanks!

i would go with IdistinctDev’s solution, it also give you the ability to create animations as well

So I have the Motor6D and im wondering how I change it inside of the script, this doesnt work…

	local weld = Instance.new("Motor6D")

	weld.Name = "TreeWeld"
	weld.Part0 = tree
	weld.Part1 = player:FindFirstChild("RightUpperArm")
	weld.Parent = player

	weld.C0.Position = Vector3.new(0, 1.4, 0)
	weld.C0.Rotation = Vector3.new(6, 0, 80)

Error says “Position cannot be assigned to”

Bit of a more out of the box idea. Have you tried making the tree a tool rather than a child of the player?

You can adjust a tool’s grip with a plugin - all you need is a part inside the tree called ‘Handle’ and you could tweak the script to just pick-up the tree as a tool instead.

this is because the “c’s” are a CFrame, so you have to set it as a CFrame, sorry for not being clear on this earlier.

weld.C0 = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 1.4, 0), Vector3.new(6, 0, 80))

I did try this, but i really didnt want the player to be able to put the tree away whenever they wanted

Thank you for the help, i ended up keeping the weld constraint and this worked.

			local offset = CFrame.new(0, 0, -1)
			local rotation = CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(90))
			tree.CFrame = player.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * offset * rotation

			local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
			weld.Name = "TreeWeld"
			weld.Part0 = tree
			weld.Part1 = player.HumanoidRootPart
			weld.Parent = tree

Glad to see you found your fix. Good luck with your project!
