What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
For the BoxRange to remain in it’s position. It should be moving, because another tower is welded the exact same, yet it doesn’t work when placed. I am using CFrame.
Placeholder in placing mode
When placed
-
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
The RangeBox only moves on the Placeholder, then when placed it does not -
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I tried looking for welding help, none relate (Sadly). It’s also strange because another tower uses the exact same method of weld yet that one works.
