Make accessories glow via VertexColor?

[baseparts]

So currently I’m making a backpack system.

For every backpack there’s a special mesh which is parented to an always existing accessory in the startercharacter:

I’d like to have one of my backpacks have a glowing effect like the Neon material.
If you change the vertex color of the special mesh above 1,1,1, the more you go the more it glows.

When parenting the special mesh to a players accessory, the glow effect doesn’t work even with the vertex color still above 1,1,1

Here are the properties of the “Handle”:

Here are the properties of the SpecialMesh (named Starter Backpack):

Is there a way to fix this without too big of a workaround?
(Hopefully this won’t require scripting which is why this is in Building Support)

Has anyone found a way to make this work? I’m in need of it again

also wondering if there is a solution for this…

The part cannot be parented to the model otherwise it’ll lose it’s glowy color. So ideally, you would want to parent it to a folder inside of workspace (the only thing that works from my knowledge) and just weld the backpack to the character.

Unfortunately, this method requires scripting knowledge. I suggest hiring someone to do it for you if you are stuck.

No, scripting is not the problem, I was just hoping there was some simple trick I could do without scripting. Although, I guess this does work. Thanks!

Hey guys, Unfortunately I’m having the same issue and I don’t know anything about script😭 The only payment budget I have is 150 robux from my group funds, can someone accept that for assisting me in this problem?!

There’s no need to pay someone. There are plenty of guides/tutorials on how to attach objects to a player, which can be easily used with basic scripting knowledge. A simple google search should give you plenty of sources. Additionally, you can create your own topic on the devforums if your problem is more specific.

How can i weld a part to a player?

SO im trying to weld a part to a player but im not sure how, please help local shield = game.ReplicatedStorage.shield:Clone() game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() shield.Parent = character local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint") weld.Part0 = shield weld.Part1 = character.HumanoidRootPart weld.Parent = character shield.IsInUse.Value = true end)

How would I weld a part to the character?

How would I weld a part to the character? What I mean is, let’s say i want a part to be welded to the characters right arm when they join. How would I do that?

If you’re really bent on having someone do it for you, I’d recommend hiring on the talent hub or some other trusted source- the devforums are not great.
