Need a little assistance with a script!

[emiliotigre2017 (Cheese)]

hi,

im making a sort ball game and i need the size to be working, only its not working.
I tried making it a local script a serversided script and even asking friends and people i know.
Nothing worked and no one knew why.

So i have a ball, and that ball size is: 5.75, 5.75, 5.75.
Everytime i weld the ball to the player the ball changes size to match the players size, so instead of being 5.75, 5.75, 5.75 its something else

here are some pics:

normal

ingame

the script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Char)
		local Ball = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Ball"):Clone()

		local Weld = Instance.new("Weld")

		Weld.Parent = Char

		Weld.Part0 = Ball

		Weld.Part1 = Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

		Ball.Position = Char.PrimaryPart.Position

		Ball.Parent = Char
		Ball.Size = Vector3.new(5.75, 5.75, 5.75)

		local humanoid = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

		humanoid.Sit = true

		if Char then
			for _, part in pairs(Char:GetDescendants()) do
				if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
					part.Transparency = 1
				end
			end
		end

	end)
end)

let me know if you know what the problem is, i really appreciate it.

What is the size of the marble in game? Is the marble a mesh or Roblox’s basepart?

[emiliotigre2017 (Cheese)]

The size of the ball (marble) in game is 4.025, 5.75, 4.888, its a roblox sphere

@emiliotigre2017

Everytime i weld the ball to the player the ball changes size to match the players size

It thinks its an accessory, don’t ask me why it thinks that, I don’t know
But anyways, try using a WeldConstraint instead of a regular Weld

or try a Motor6D weld

Okay, i will try thanks i will be back in a bit, im online until some what like 23:00

( just tested it and welconstraint didnt do anything )

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Char)
        local Ball = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Ball"):Clone()
        local Weld = Instance.new("Weld")
        Weld.Parent = Char
        Weld.Part0 = Ball
        Weld.Part1 = Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
        Ball.Size = Vector3.new(1, 1, 1)
        Ball.Position = Char.PrimaryPart.Position
        Ball.Parent = Char
        Ball.Size = Vector3.new(5.75, 5.75, 5.75)
        local humanoid = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        humanoid.Sit = true
        if Char then
            for _, part in pairs(Char:GetDescendants()) do
                if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
                    part.Transparency = 1
                end
            end
        end
    end)
end)

Try this :))

Yo, i tried that but even that does not work, its still egg shaped

[Slayer200229 (kye)]

can you send the place file? i will try to fix it.

[Wigglyaa]

It might be the default scripts are scaling all the character descendants when the character is loaded.
Try parenting the ball to workspace instead.

[emiliotigre2017 (Cheese)]

Parenting it to the workspace works, but it means i have to rewrite the controlls i made

[Wigglyaa]

You could try reparenting to the character once the character has fully loaded. I don’t think there is a built in event for this but a simple ‘wait()’ might be just long enough.

[emiliotigre2017 (Cheese)]

How do i do that? Because i tried and i didnt really know how to so i did:

		local char = Char:Wait()

and then i did

		Ball.Parent = char

and that didnt work

[Wigglyaa]

I amended your code slightly, I haven’t checked it fully but added the lines

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Char)
		local Ball = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Ball"):Clone()

		local Weld = Instance.new("Weld")

		Weld.Parent = Char

		Weld.Part0 = Ball

		Weld.Part1 = Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

		Ball.Position = Char.PrimaryPart.Position

		Ball.Parent = workspace --changed parent to workspace
		Ball.Size = Vector3.new(5.75, 5.75, 5.75)

		local humanoid = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

		humanoid.Sit = true

		if Char then
			for _, part in pairs(Char:GetDescendants()) do
				if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
					part.Transparency = 1
				end
			end
		end
task.wait(1) --added wait here
Ball.Parent = char --added parent change here
	end)
end)

that did not work the ball didnt even appear instead it gave:
20:45:30.631 Wait is not a valid member of Model “emiliotigre2017” - Server - Ball:6

what i put on line 6 was

local char = Char:Wait()

[Wigglyaa]

Weird. Any errors? I made a typo (edited now) due to auto correct.

[emiliotigre2017 (Cheese)]

The error was:
20:45:30.631 Wait is not a valid member of Model “emiliotigre2017” - Server - Ball:6

like i said " what i put on line 6 was"

local char = Char:Wait()

Idk if its me or is this really hard to fix or just a dumb over sight and thus a easy fix

[Wigglyaa]

That’s not in the code I posted. Try that.

[emiliotigre2017 (Cheese)]

well, in ur code:

so i thought made “char” a thing

[Wigglyaa]

Ah sorry my bad, change the letter case to Char ( not char)

[KitteRBXL (Kitte)]

What size of the ball when you enter the game? If it not 5.75, 5.75, 5.75 then try this code

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Char)
		local Ball = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Ball"):Clone()
		local Weld = Instance.new("Weld")
		Weld.Parent = Char
		Weld.Part0 = Ball
		Weld.Part1 = Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		Ball.Size = Vector3.new(5.75, 5.75, 5.75)
		Ball.Position = Char.PrimaryPart.Position
		Ball.Parent = Char

		task.spawn(function()
			game:GetService('RunService').Heartbeat:Connect(function()
				Ball.Size = Vector3.new(5.75, 5.75, 5.75)
			end)
		end)

		local humanoid = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		humanoid.Sit = true
		if Char then
			for _, part in pairs(Char:GetDescendants()) do
				if part:IsA("MeshPart") then
					part.Transparency = 1
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end)
