Inquiry on Performing Equip and Holster with Motor6D Grip Without Delay

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I’m developer Rot.

I’ll discuss this issue with answers to the following three questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to know how to perform Equip and Holster without any delay using Motor6D Grip.
  2. What is the issue? There’s a problem where welding is delayed when equipping a Tool due to the delay with Motor6D Grip.
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I’ve attempted to perform welding on the client-side, but it didn’t resolve the issue as welding also needs to be done on the server. Currently, I’m searching for solutions on the Developer Hub.

Additionally, if you have any further information or assistance to offer, I would appreciate it!

Client Script:

local tool = script.Parent
local plr = tool.Parent.Parent
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local e = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Equip)
local i = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Idle)

local holsterService = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.HolsterService)
holsterService.SetLibrary(char) -- Where your weapons are stored, it will automatically default to what I put here

local weapon = holsterService.createWeapon("ItemModel", char) -- Make sure that the string is the weapon model and that it's in your library, and char is the model you want to hold the weapon

weapon:Holster("Torso", tool.UnequipGrip.C0) -- Arg 1 is the part of the model you want the weapon to weld to, Arg 2 is the C0

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	print("E")
	weapon:Sheath("Right Arm", CFrame.new(0,0,0))  -- Arg 1 is the part of the model you want the weapon to weld to, Arg 2 is the C0
	
	e:Play()
	i:Play()
	
	holsterService.SetLibrary(char) -- Where your weapons are stored, it will automatically default to what I put here
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	print("U")
	e:Stop()
	i:Stop()
	weapon:Holster("Torso", tool.UnequipGrip.C0)
	
	holsterService.SetLibrary(char) -- Where your weapons are stored, it will automatically default to what I put here
end)

Server Script:

local tool = script.Parent
local plr = tool.Parent.Parent
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local holsterService = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.HolsterService)
holsterService.SetLibrary(script.Parent) -- Where your weapons are stored, it will automatically default to what I put here

local weapon = holsterService.createWeapon("ItemModel", char) -- Make sure that the string is the weapon model and that it's in your library, and char is the model you want to hold the weapon

weapon:Holster("Torso", tool.UnequipGrip.C0) -- Arg 1 is the part of the model you want the weapon to weld to, Arg 2 is the C0

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	print("E")
	weapon:Sheath("Right Arm", CFrame.new(0,0,0))  -- Arg 1 is the part of the model you want the weapon to weld to, Arg 2 is the C0
	
	holsterService.SetLibrary(char) -- Where your weapons are stored, it will automatically default to what I put here
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	print("U")
	weapon:Holster("Torso", tool.UnequipGrip.C0)
	
	holsterService.SetLibrary(char) -- Where your weapons are stored, it will automatically default to what I put here
end)

Holster Service Module:

	weaponModels = library
end

	local weapon = weaponModels:FindFirstChild(weapon)
	if weapon then
		
		weapon.Parent = model

	end
end

		local weld = Instance.new("Weld", model[limb])
		weld.Part0 = model[limb]
		weld.Part1 = weapon:WaitForChild("Handle")
		weld.Name = "HolsterWeld "..weapon.Name

		weld.C0 = C0
		currentHolsterWeld[weapon] = weld
	else
		warn("Limb not found! Make sure your object is loaded in!")
	end
end

function weapons:Sheath(limb, C0)
	local weapon = self.Weapon
	local model = self.Owner

	if model:FindFirstChild(limb) then
		if currentHolsterWeld[weapon] then currentHolsterWeld[weapon]:Destroy() end
		
		local w6d = Instance.new("Motor6D", model[limb])
		w6d.Part0 = model[limb]
		w6d.Part1 = weapon:WaitForChild("Handle")
		w6d.Name = "Weapon6D "..weapon.Name

		w6d.C0 = C0
		currentW6D[weapon] = w6d
	else
		warn("Limb not found! Make sure your object is loaded in!")
	end
