Tools with hinges glitching

Help and Feedback Creations Feedback
#1

So im trying to make a tool that has a swinging effect using hinges when you move around, but when you equip it, unequip it, then re equip it, it glitches behind you and moves the character. The tool worked fine with a local script, but not using remote events or server scripts.

Things I tried:

  • making a weld constraint (connected from the “attachment 0” part of the hinge with the “attachment 1” part of the hinge) that gets disabled 0.25s after equipping the tool
    (wich temporarly freezes the hinge so that it has time to catch up to the player.)
    and when the tool is unequipped the weld gets enabled.
    Here:

  • making it so the hinge gets created on equip after the weld gets disabled, and destroying the hinge after the tool is unequipped.

Scripts:

local SeeGlitchFixEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SeeGlitchFixEvent")


local tool = script.Parent
local Handle1 = tool.Handle
local GlitchFix = Handle1.Fix

local function SeeGlitchFixFunction()
	wait(0.25)
	GlitchFix.Enabled = false
	wait()
	local HingeConstraint = Instance.new("HingeConstraint")
	HingeConstraint.Parent = tool.Handle
	HingeConstraint.Radius = 0.1
	HingeConstraint.Visible = false
	HingeConstraint.Enabled = true
	HingeConstraint.Attachment0 = tool.Handle.Attachment1
	HingeConstraint.Attachment1 = tool.Outside.Attachment01
	HingeConstraint.LimitsEnabled = true
	HingeConstraint.LowerAngle = -25
	HingeConstraint.UpperAngle = 25
	HingeConstraint.Restitution = 0
	HingeConstraint.Name = "HingeFix"
end

SeeGlitchFixEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(SeeGlitchFixFunction)

image

local StopSeeGlitchFixEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("StopSeeGlitchFixEvent")

local tool = script.Parent
local Handle1 = tool.Handle
local GlitchFix = Handle1.Fix

local function StopSeeGlitchFixFunction()
	GlitchFix.Enabled = true
	tool.Handle:WaitForChild("HingeFix"):Destroy()
end

StopSeeGlitchFixEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(StopSeeGlitchFixFunction)

image

local SeeActivatedP1Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SeeActivatedP1Event")
local SeeActivatedP2Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SeeActivatedP2Event")
local SeeActivatedP3Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SeeActivatedP3Event")
local SeeGlitchFixEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SeeGlitchFixEvent")
local StopSeeGlitchFixEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("StopSeeGlitchFixEvent")

tool = script.Parent
local Handle1 = tool.Handle
local CTRL = Handle1.CTRL

local anim = tool:WaitForChild("Animation")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local loadanim = humanoid:loadAnimation(anim)

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if CTRL.Parent == tool.Handle then
		SeeActivatedP1Event:FireServer()
		loadanim:Play()
	end
end)
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if CTRL.Parent == tool.Face then
		SeeActivatedP2Event:FireServer()
		loadanim:Play()
	end
end)
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if CTRL.Parent == tool.Inside then
		SeeActivatedP3Event:FireServer()
		loadanim:Play()
	end
end)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(OnEquip)
	SeeGlitchFixEvent:FireServer()
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function(OnUnequip)
	StopSeeGlitchFixEvent:FireServer()
end)

The other three scripts don’t affect anything that has to do with the hinges or the tool glitching behind.

Help/Explenations would be appreciated.
