Is there a way to find a specific body part of the R6 character?

While trying to animate my character, I wanted to put the Motor6D in the right arm of it. The issue is, there’s a space in the name of Right Arm, and my script wont work because of it.

Is there a way to find the Right Arm in the script without the name?

If the name of a part you want to access has a space, you should use this:

["Right Arm"]

so your script should be:

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
motor.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.["Right Arm"]
motor.Part0 = script.Parent.Parent.["Right Arm"]
motor.Part1 = Bat

I believe there’s an ‘Enum.Limb’ variable.

GetLimb() also exists :man_shrugging:

Just use :FindFirstChild(instancename) if it’s a server script or :WaitForChild(instancename) if it’s a local script. Idk why no one mentioned that yet.

So for example

script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")

script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Right Arm")
