Trying to move a mesh with code

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#81

I put it in ServerStorage and clone it when I hold out the hoe. Then I make another weld because my original one does not work.

#82

well if it works now it works, congrats on finishing a part of your game!

#83

The problem is the overlay still keeps falling even though I welded it

#84

Are you welding it with a script or welding it by hand? If you set the parts correctly it should weld by hand, make sure is weldConstraint and not just weld…
by script:

local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Parent = game.Workspace.Somewhere -- very important 
weld.Part0 = hoe.apartofthehoe
weld.Part1 = thetracerpart
weld.Enabled = true
#85

I did both. I even made another weld with a script and enabled it.

#86

is the part’s parent the tool?

my limited knowledge tell me this should work since it literally work on my end if I weld it by hand

#87

No its in a folder in workspace

#88

That might be the problem (sorry for replying so late, went to get lunch)

unless only one player is allowed to have a hoe, the hoe in the player is likely a copy, so prob should put the part in hoe so it also get copy. (assuming its in starter pack, if you have some way to ensure everyone have a hoe without clone, enlighten me.)

Also, if its a folder in workspace, and more than one player holds out a hoe, which player would get the part?

#89

Sorry I forgot to explain, the part is in ServerStorage and it gets cloned every time the tool gets held and deleted every time it is unequipped:

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local check = invis:Clone()
	local char = tool.Parent
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
	check.Name = "dirtCheck"
	check.Parent = game.Workspace.Spawn.Farming
	local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	weld.Part1 = char.HumanoidRootPart
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	local check = game.Workspace.Spawn.Farming:WaitForChild("dirtCheck")
	check:Destroy()
end)
#90

works :confused:

script I used:

local invis = game.ServerStorage.Part
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local check = invis:Clone()
	local char = tool.Parent
	local hrp = tool.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
	--local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
	check.Name = "dirtCheck"
	check.Parent = game.Workspace
	local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	weld.Part1 = char.HumanoidRootPart
	weld.Part0 = check
	weld.Parent = game.Workspace
	check.Position = Vector3.new(hrp.Position.X,hrp.Position.Y-2.129,hrp.Position.Z)
    check.Orientation = char.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation
end)

Another problem with this is that the dirt overlay follows the player (even in the air). Is there any way to keep it on the ground?

#93

So it follows the player while not? what do you mean

#94

But nevermind that anyways,
to keep the part on the ground you could use a prismatic constraint instead of a weld…

local attachment0 = Instance.new("Attachment")
attachment0.Parent = tool.Handle
attachment0.Position = Vector3.new(0,0,0) -- relative to handle

local attachment1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
attachment1.Parent = check
attachment1.Position = Vector3.new(0,0,0) -- relative to part

local slider = Instance.new("PrismaticConstraint")
slider.Attachment0 = attachment0
slider.Attachment1 = attachment1
slider.Parent = tool
slider.LimitsEnabled = true
slider.LowerLimit = -5 --(prevent fall too much)
#95

I want the overlay of where you are placing the dirt to follow the player (where ever you go it still shows you the overlay)

#96

I replaced this with your current script and now there is no overlay

#97

work in progress currently testing please wait…

#98

Sorry if I am not clear but here is what it looks like now. It follows the player as they jump

#99

If im seeing correctly, it follows a distance, but there is a gap bettween the player and the lay where it fell, so I guess lower the number on “Lowerlimit”

#100

It just follows the player

I’m never going to get the exact number so I was just wondering if there was a way to bump the overlay back up to the top.
