In a FE place, If a character is parented to nil by the server, then parented back to the Workspace by its client, accessory welds will break. As soon as the player is re-parented to the Workspace by the server, hat welds are restored. This only occurs in a local server, team test, or live game server, testing with the play button in studio does not reproduce this
Repro: WeldBug.rbxl (13.3 KB)
Thanks for the good reproduce case, we will look into this. If you need a temporary workaround you can use this code to re-weld the accessories on the client.
function weldAttachments(attach1, attach2)
local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
weld.Part0 = attach1.Parent
weld.Part1 = attach2.Parent
weld.C0 = attach1.CFrame
weld.C1 = attach2.CFrame
weld.Parent = attach1.Parent
return weld
end
function findFirstMatchingAttachment(model, name)
for _, child in ipairs(model:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA('Attachment') and child.Name == name then
return child
elseif not child:IsA('Accoutrement') and not child:IsA('Tool') then -- don't look in hats or tools in the character
local foundAttachment = findFirstMatchingAttachment(child, name)
if foundAttachment then
return foundAttachment
end
end
end
end
local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
for _, obj in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
if obj:IsA("Accessory") then
local handle = obj:FindFirstChild("Handle")
if handle then
local accoutrementAttachment = handle:FindFirstChildOfClass("Attachment")
if accoutrementAttachment then
local characterAttachment = findFirstMatchingAttachment(character, accoutrementAttachment.Name)
if characterAttachment then
weldAttachments(characterAttachment, accoutrementAttachment)
end
end
end
end
end
