Trying to understand qPerfectionWeld

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’m working on a pirate game, And I want a ship to move on it’s own. So my solution to this was to anchor a single part of the ship model and tween it’s position, But soon I realized qPerfectionWeld unanchors all parts of the model, So I skimmed through the script trying to look for a fix and found this section:

local function WeldParts(Parts, MainPart, JointType, DoNotUnanchor)
	-- @param Parts The Parts to weld. Should be anchored to prevent really horrible results.
	-- @param MainPart The part to weld the model to (can be in the model).
	-- @param [JointType] The type of joint. Defaults to weld. 
	-- @parm DoNotUnanchor Boolean, if true, will not unachor the model after cmopletion.
	
	for _, Part in pairs(Parts) do
		if ShouldBreakJoints(Part) then
			Part:BreakJoints()
		end
	end
	
	for _, Part in pairs(Parts) do
		if Part ~= MainPart then
			WeldTogether(MainPart, Part, JointType, MainPart)
		end
	end

	if not DoNotUnanchor then
		for _, Part in pairs(Parts) do
			Part.Anchored = false
		end
		MainPart.Anchored = false
	end
end

It mentions something about a MainPart, Though “MainPart” is not identified anywhere else in the script. It looks like I could change MainPart.Anchored = false to MainPart.Anchored = true if I could identify what the mainpart is/where the mainpart is. Any and all help would be appreciated :sweat_smile:

P.S. sorry if this is confusing, pls feel free to ask questions!

Just set the DoNotUnanchor boolean to true.

Make the part you want to tween the ship separate from the actual model and then use a weld constraint and weld the tween part to the ship

Aalso, I think the mainpart may be the primarypart

I agree with this post, this would be the easiest way and you won’t have to change the script.

I tried, But it doesn’t seem to work for me
Here’s my serverscript:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local MainPart = workspace.MainPartMove

task.wait(10)
local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(60)
local target = workspace.ShipTarget
local tween = TweenService:Create(MainPart, tweeninfo, target.Position)

tween:Play()

(“MainPartMove” is the part welded to the ship and I think “Target” is pretty self-explanatory)
Spot anything wrong?

I’m not sure, but you should probably try to get the part to move before you try welding it to the ship. I think you may not have put the tween goal in correctly(but i’m not sure how its done):

I thought the goal would need to be formatted like {Position = whatever.Position}
or maybe you need to tween the CFrame? idk

As far as I know this is a legitimate method…
The model is a humanoid, Would that affect anything?
