Problem with welding player to a player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,i am new to the dev forum and i have a problem with welding a player to another player.

In my game you become a giant and one of the abilites is to grab a normal player in your hand and then either throw them or put them on your back.

The problem is that when i weld the grabbed player to the main player’s hand and then the grabbed player dies,the main player dies along with him.
The welding script looks like this:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local PlayerGrab = ReplicatedStorage.PlayerGrab

PlayerGrab.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player,part,Type)
	if Type == "Grab" then
		local Weld = Instance.new("Weld",part.Parent.UpperTorso)
		Weld.Part1 = player.Character.RightHand
		Weld.Part0 = part.Parent.UpperTorso
		Weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0,0,1.5) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0)
		part.Parent.Humanoid.PlatformStand = true
		part.Parent.Stun.Value = true
	end
end)

I tried deleting the weld when the grabbed player dies,however it doesn’t achieve anything.

How do i stop the main player from dying?

Interesting. While I’m not 100% sure why the other player is dying (thank you for another mysterious bug, Humanoid Instance), I’d suspect that :BreakJoints() is being called on the smaller player’s character. If the script to remove the weld was server side then it may not reach the client before it breaks every joint, including those in the bigger player. Just a hunch, but what if you remove the weld then call wait(0.5) before the player dies? Or are you doing all of this on the character death event anyways so the weld will always be removed after death?

I tried deleting the weld on the Humanoid.Died event.

Try disabling the BreakJointsOnDeath property in the humanoids to check if that’s the issue

I already did,and it doesn’t fix anything even when disabled on both characters.

After messing around a bit I figured out a solution, what you want to do is set the humanoid’s death state of the Character who is grabbing to false whenever the grabbed Character dies

my server script (slightly different than yours as I had to code grabbing and such)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

function Enlarge(Char)
	local Humanoid = Char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if Humanoid then
		Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = 3
		Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = 3
		Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = 3
		Humanoid.HeadScale.Value = 3
	end
end

function Grab(Player, Target)
	local Char = Player.Character	
	
	local Weld = Instance.new("Weld", Target.UpperTorso)
	Weld.Part1 = Char.RightHand
	Weld.Part0 = Target.UpperTorso
	Weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0,0,1.5) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0)
	
	Target.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		
		if Target.Humanoid.Health <= 0 then
		Char.Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, false)
		Weld:Destroy()
		end
		
	end)
	
	Target.Humanoid.PlatformStand = true

end


Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Char)
		Enlarge(Char)
	end)
end)


Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(Grab)

The code for humanoid dying

	Target.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function() -- Target is the Grabbed Character
		
		if Target.Humanoid.Health <= 0 then
		Char.Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, false) --Char is the Character Grabbing
		Weld:Destroy()
		end
		
	end)
