MeshParts do not move with a Tool's Handle

I am currently trying to move a tool to a certain position by moving it’s handle. It works perfectly fine for a tool with just unions welded to the Handle, but when I attempt to move a tool that has MeshParts welded to the Handle, it only moves the Unions with the Handle, the MeshParts stay at their original spot. I have looked around for a possible solution to this problem but I’m stumped and I have found no information on this issue.

Ensure that the parts are not anchored and welded properly.

They are all not anchored and welded properly.

If it was it would be working properly, can you upload a studio file with the tool ?

Yes, here. Cake.rbxm (34.7 KB)

I just tested it and I don’t see the issue all the parts of the cake are moving with the tool? Ensure you have the correct tool in the starter pack.

Yes, the parts will be moving with the cake, but if you change the Handle’s position through a script the mesh parts will not move with it.

When you update the position with a weld the connected parts positions will not update, try updating the CFrame instead and the connected parts should move with the handle. Also, change the Welds to the new WeldConstraint instances.

I had a similar issue before when I was making swords for a game, so I use a plug in called:

Select Easy Weld:image

There are instructions to use the plugin.

I hope this could help you.

I also use Easy Weld to weld my tools, it’s just that I had a problem moving all the parts with the tool which thankfully cjjdawg provided a solution for it.
