Welded weapon is removed on weld manipulation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a weapon that i want to sheath (weld the weapon to a different part of the player) The script that manages the weapon is a localScript, accepting inputs and firing events to the server. The sheathing worked at first, but then i realized that it wasn’t replicating to the server. So i had this script on the server that accepts input from a remoteEvent to manipulate welds on the player.


local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerRemotes.Weld

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, weld, part1)
	print(weld)
	weld.Part1 = part1
end)

For some reason, with this script ^^^ the weapon seems to vanish (not just physical parts, but the entire model)

(Yes, i know that is a diamond sword lol. It is there for testing)

Try creating a new weld at runtime (I assume you know how to weld? If not look at a weld script like Weld 2.2 search it in toolbox) instead of trying to change it (and destroy the old weld). I haven’t really worked with welds much, so I am not sure if it can be changed at runtime, but I think it can’t (but not sure).

Also, try looking into/working with WeldConstraint | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Welds can be changed during runtime, i have done this many times before. I will attempt to create a new weld instead of manipulating the original like you said.

I enabled the collider for the handle of the weapon, and the glitch seems to have stopped.

EDIT: Sorry to bother you guys. There was a minor error in my code, it seems to work correctly now (i knew that i would be able to find the solution only after i posted this on the forum, because thats how debugging works apparently)
