1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to make a part fall if it is not near another part supporting it
(The whole building is welded to a ‘base’ part and to make a part fall i use BreakJoints)
2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
The part does not fall, because i think the other parts hold it up
3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I used qPerfectionWeld to weld the whole house to a ‘base’ part and unanchored the base and made it unbreakable so the whole thing can fall and it can be destroyed using BreakJoints, i dont know if there is a better option to building it or if im doing something wrong
edit: i did try using IsGrounded but i didnt get it to work, i also did think of trying to make a hitbox but if there are like 2 parts floating near each other it would not work, i also did post a forum about this before and i thought it was fixed, but after some testing there was some issues
Turn on the weld visualization and make sure each part is connected to parts that are touching each other.
Or you can use this script that I made for my own destruction system kinda thing. You can also select the model and press weld constraint in the toolbar to do something similar.
local model = script.Parent
local descendants = model:GetDescendants()
local totalWelds = {}
for _, v : Part in pairs(descendants) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
local originalSize = v.Size
v.Size *= 1.05 --Some parts are close but not "Directly touching, increase it for a bit"
local touchingParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(v)
v.Size = originalSize
for _, connectedPart in pairs(touchingParts) do
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Part0 = connectedPart
weld.Part1 = v
weld.Parent = connectedPart
table.insert(totalWelds,weld )
end
end
end
ok so, im having some issues because im getting a timeout
“Script timeout: exhausted allowed execution time - WeldNearby:20”
when it goes thru this part of the code:
for _, connectedPart in pairs(touchingParts) do
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Part0 = connectedPart
weld.Part1 = v
weld.Parent = connectedPart
table.insert(totalWelds,weld )
v.Anchored = false --Changed this, so it has gravity
end
i added the “v.Anchored = false” and i dont know if it is that single line that affects everything
edit: i did try to add a “wait()” but then it just takes too long to weld it all
Yes, i did try but i think there are just too many parts here ill show the full thing:
local model = script.Parent
local descendants = model:GetDescendants()
print(table.maxn(model:GetChildren()))
local totalWelds = {}
for _, v : Part in pairs(descendants) do
wait()
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
local originalSize = v.Size
v.Size *= 1.02 --Some parts are close but not "Directly touching, increase it for a bit"
local touchingParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(v)
for i,v in pairs(touchingParts) do
if v.Name == "Baseplate" then
touchingParts[i] = nil
end
end
v.Size = originalSize
--print(v)
for _, connectedPart in pairs(touchingParts) do
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Part0 = connectedPart
weld.Part1 = v
weld.Parent = connectedPart
table.insert(totalWelds,weld )
v.Anchored = false
print(table.maxn(totalWelds))
end
end
end
You can also use do this to avoid welding to baseplate instead of looping through all the touching parts you can just skip it using the continue keyword.
local model = script.Parent
local descendants = model:GetDescendants()
print(table.maxn(model:GetChildren()))
local totalWelds = {}
for _, v : Part in pairs(descendants) do
--wait()
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
local originalSize = v.Size
v.Size *= 1.02 --Some parts are close but not "Directly touching, increase it for a bit"
local touchingParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(v)
v.Size = originalSize
--print(v)
for _, connectedPart in pairs(touchingParts) do
if connectedPart.Name == "Baseplate" then
--skip welding to baseplate
continue
end
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Part0 = connectedPart
weld.Part1 = v
weld.Parent = connectedPart
table.insert(totalWelds,weld )
v.Anchored = false
print(table.maxn(totalWelds))
end
end
end
The thing is, im trying to make a disaster survival game while you are in a hotel, and the hotel is going to make many, many parts so i dont know a fast way to weld everything like this in the studio
After waiting for a while and testing, it seems that it does work, so ill try to make the script run faster or make less welds, but it helped me take a different perspective at it, so thanks! Ill try it from here
OK so, what i did manage to do was use the script in the game, copy the building when it was done and paste it in the game, so i will leave the final script here for anyone who needs it later
--Script by dthecoolest
local model = script.Parent
local descendants = model:GetDescendants()
print(table.maxn(model:GetChildren()))
local totalWelds = {}
for _, v : Part in pairs(descendants) do
wait()
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
local originalSize = v.Size
v.Size *= 1.02 --Some parts are close but not "Directly touching, increase it for a bit"
local touchingParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(v)
v.Size = originalSize
--print(v)
for _, connectedPart in pairs(touchingParts) do
if connectedPart.Name == "Baseplate" then
--skip welding to baseplate
print(v)
continue
end
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Part0 = connectedPart
weld.Part1 = v
weld.Parent = connectedPart
table.insert(totalWelds,weld )
v.Anchored = false
print(table.maxn(totalWelds))
end
end
end
