ToolWeld Plugin(Redundant)

[MetaProx]

About

So, I just so happened to be bored and while a game of mine was downloading I decided to learn how to make plugins. From there it turned into a couple hours of work into something that always frustrated me(People using weld scripts in their guns) and making a simplified welding tool for tools. It’s not really much now, I only made it in a couple hours, however I do feel that this could be useful to somebody, so I will advertise it here.

Redundancy:

Thanks to EchoReaper for finding something better. I had no idea this existed beforehand.

How to use:

1. Turn it on
2. Select anything with the part “Handle” in it.
3. Hit “Weld!”

Studio actually already has a tool to do this

Does this really cover all of the cases that the weldscripts do? I remember tools falling apart all the time. On equipping, or dying, or dropping.

We know it’s common for games to use “weld scripts” to weld all the parts in a model together. We see a lot of models including multiple redundant (sometimes conflicting) weld scripts and rely on this code to clean up the mess. We’re not going to clean this up automatically anymore. You’re going to end up with a bunch of unnecessary welds if you do this.

Start by deleting your old weld scripts. The age of weld scripts is over. If you are using AutoJointsMode.Explicit , it is safe to move models with welds in and out of workspace with their welds in tact. WeldConstraint s can also be safely moved in and out of Workspace in any mode. Weld your models together as needed when you author them and let welds be cloned with the model.

Huh, had no idea. Well then, I suppose one could just do that.
