Im completely frustrated because im a pretty intermediate scripter but for the life of me Ive never been able to figure out Motor6D
and now I really need to use it but I cant figure out the issue.

I have been doing in pairs to get a Motor6D in each part

This is the latest variation I have tried, all it is really successful at is welding everything together, but no matter how I order the Parts and C’s. I feel like I tried every variation of how they connect and no matter what I do the best I can get out of the situation is the welding, but I cant animate it and it wont stay when I try to tween it so I must be approaching this completely wrong.

for i,v in pairs(parent:GetChildren()) do
			if (v:IsA("BasePart")) then
				if (bodyBase) then
					local m6d = Instance.new("Motor6D")
					m6d.Name = tostring(v.Name.."_M6D")
					m6d.Part0,m6d.Part1 = bodyBase,v
					m6d.C0 = bodyBase.CFrame:inverse()
					m6d.C1 = v.CFrame:inverse()
					m6d.Parent = v
				end
			end

just use plugins, using this code is really outdated. plugins are better solutions and they allow u to position them so u can have custom joint origins and what not

#3

What are you doing in terms of animating? Are you using a plugin or attempting to do this with something else? The Motor6D code looks fine as it is so I suspect there’s something else.

Its being created in the game so I cant

#5

Just to animate it with the roblox animation plugin or to even move it with CFrame I would be happy with either one, but the parts dont follow the base body.

#6

Are the parts anchored? Are the parts modeled inside of the body’s model? Are the parts logically welded [from limb to limb]?

what do u mean its being created in the game
