Removed Workspace.AutoJointsMode and AutoJointsMode .

What did these do? I’ve never used them before, and it looks like their dev hub pages are gone.

[ScriptOn (Genya)]

Joints used to be removed (and sometimes created) automatically. A few months ago Roblox decided to not do this anymore, and said that ‘Explicit’ joints are the future. This means you have to make and delete all joints by hand now, unless you enable auto joints mode in studio, which will create surface joints for you automatically.

[Maximum_ADHD]

This is incorrect. It just changes is how automatic joints are stored. Previously all automatically created joints would be stored in the JointsService, but now they are stored directly in the parts associated with the joint. Joints can still be created automatically in Roblox Studio, as well as the Model’s MakeJoints() function.

[ScriptOn (Genya)]

Ahh bad wording. I do still think I covered some stuff you haven’t though! I had to go fix some of my old games because they relied on joints auto destroying when the Part0/Part1 were nil.

[Maximum_ADHD]

Makes sense. The joint objects should ideally be stored inside of parts associated with the joints so they get destroyed with the part.

[devSparkle]

Which creates further unpredictable behaviour, because the destruction is dependant on which of the parts get destroyed.

[Noble_Draconian]

I’m curious about this.
