Model is breaking in half, help

why does break like this?? i dont understand why does it break in half. Tt should only break welds in the explosion radius (and that radius is small)

weld script

function weld()
    local parts,last = {}
    local function scan(parent)
        for _,v in pairs(parent:GetChildren()) do
            if (v:IsA("BasePart")) then
                if (last) then
                    local w = Instance.new("Weld")
                    w.Name = ("%s_Weld"):format(v.Name)
                    w.Part0,w.Part1 = last,v
                    w.C0 = last.CFrame:inverse()
                    w.C1 = v.CFrame:inverse()
                    w.Parent = last
                end
                last = v
                table.insert(parts,v)
            end
            scan(v)
        end
    end
    scan(script.Parent)
    for _,v in pairs(parts) do
        v.Anchored = false
    end
end

weld()
script:Remove()

I think it’s about what parts are welded to. They’re all welded sequentially it looks like? You might want to change it to be by certain segments, so that parts at the front of the tank won’t be welded to parts near the back. That could be what causes it to split in half.

Ignore @IAmBanFor_Devforum, that is terribly unhelpful.

As @Lightlimn said, it’s the order the weldscript is attaching the Parts. It doesn’t do it sequentially, it does it by grabbing all the items in the model in a random order and welding the last part to the next one on the list. If it happens to weld all the front parts together, then all the rear parts together, with just a single weld joining the front section to the back then of course even a small explosion that breaks that single weld will break the tank in half.

There’s a tool in the Model tab in Studio called Join Surfaces. It welds Parts that you place onto each other during building, but only the Parts that touch. It would mean rebuilding the tank piece by piece.
Another option is to use the WeldConstraint in the Constraints tools in the Model tab. You can then choose which Parts you want welded to each other so you can control the way an explosion would affect the tank.

i separated tank into different parts and it worked (i just had to weld them properly) thanks
