How to weld a part to a player with a script properly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve been trying to make a morph and i’ve been using weldconstraints to weld the parts to the player, and using CFrame and position to regulate the part’s position to the current limb position, but that hasn’t been working at all (not positioned correctly, going too far away from the player or making the player fly). So i was wondering, how can i weld it properly to the character?

First of all, when welding parts to a player, all part should have CanCollide off (if possible).
Is the Part not welding correctly because of player movement, a script bug, or something else?

CanCollide is off on all of the parts that i weld,and i am not aware of any player movement related issues. When i set the morph limbs positions with CFrame, the player starts flying as if they’re suffering that half-in-the-ground glitch until i delete all the parts. Everything else works fine when i use collision though, but it’s rather busty.

My main issue is with the Head, as it is a model, setting the PrimaryPart CFrame to the player’s head CFrame makes it offset way too far, so i was hoping there was an alternative method to attaching a part to a player rather than using WeldConstraints.

Here is the script, though. It’s a serverscript.

local Players = game.Players

local MorphButton = script.Parent

local Morph = MorphButton.Parent

local LeftArm = Morph:FindFirstChild("LeftArm")
local LeftLeg = Morph:FindFirstChild("LeftLeg")
local Torso = Morph:FindFirstChild("Torso")
local RightLeg = Morph:FindFirstChild("RightLeg")
local RightArm = Morph:FindFirstChild("RightArm")
local Head = Morph:FindFirstChild("Head")

local Morphed = false

local MorphedPlayers = {}

MorphButton.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
	if otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") and table.find(MorphedPlayers,otherPart.Parent) == nil then
		local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent)

Tried using the qperfection weld script?

What is that, if i may ask?
char

Quick note, the actual issue here is that the player glitches out and the arms and legs are placed incorrectly. Just made a few edits to the script now, and fixed it from when it used to spazz out.
(look at script above for edit)

its like an auto weld tool script
