Light accessory keep falling off player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, devs,

I have some issues (again) but this time it’s a little different. I have been trying to make a light accessory that is given once a player enter a tunnel (by hitting the doorway)

It supposingly stays put on the left side of the player. The light should be shining on the wall. But instead, this happens:

(Don’t mind the poor framerate)

If the video didn’t load, use this: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

This is the code:

local light = game.ServerStorage.light
	
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local hasgot = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("BoolValue")	
	lighting.Atmosphere.Color = Color3.fromRGB(97, 97, 97)
	if hasgot == nil then
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			hit.Parent.Humanoid:AddAccessory(light:Clone())
			local got = Instance.new("BoolValue",hit.Parent)
			wait(10)
		end
	end
end)

@WorkPro2007 helped me code this.

Any help please?

Thanks,
Aki

Is the light anchored? That’s the main issue I would expect. (to be clear game.ServerStorage.light)

#3

If I do anchor, the thing would just stay in one place and does not move with the player. I’ll try again just in case.

#4

Oh, you want it to follow the player?
Can’t you lerp or tween it to the player? (or welding, or attachments… etc)

#5

in that case welding is the thing

#6

It does have this but it doesn’t do anything.

#7

I tried inserting a weld but it obviously won’t work because I have nothing to attach it to.

#8

Is there another one? Are they connected?
Anyways, I would suggest weld for static following or tween/lerp for dynamic movement

#9

I think if it was dynamic it would be better but I am incapable of doing these things so I might have to stick around with weld or something.

#10

Just Do Weld By Using A Simple Script:

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
 local weld = instance.new("Weld",script.Parent.Parent.RightHand)
 weld.Part1 = script.Parent.Parent.RightHand
 weld.Part0 = script.Parent
end)

I Am Sure The Light Is A Tool Just Put this script in a script in the tool

#11

Well, try welding first, and if you want to go further on later, play with TweenService.

:thinking:
I may have forgot to mention that it’s an accessory.

#13

It isn’t a tool. It’s an accessory, that’s why it doesn’t work (accessories dont have Equipped)

#14

oh so its not a tool great what type of object is it doe

#15

Oh Yea I thought it was a tool

#16

It’s an accessory… and a part with light inside.

#17

My fault, I forgot to mention that it was.

#18

Just Changed The Equipped To This:

script.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Parent"):Connect(function()
 local weld = instance.new("Weld",script.Parent.Parent.RightHand)
 weld.Part1 = script.Parent.Parent.RightHand
 weld.Part0 = script.Parent
end)

Parent The Script To The Accessory

#19

instance.new should be Instance.new

#20

It still didn’t work…

script.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Parent"):Connect(function()
	local weld = Instance.new("Weld",script.Parent.Parent.Head)
	weld.Part1 = script.Parent.Parent.Head
	weld.Part0 = script.Parent
end)
