Welding to torso

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I’ve been trying to make a boombox that welds to your torso when unequipped. but I cant get it to work. Help would be much appreciated

#2

what troubles r u having, are any errors showing?

#3 
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BackTools = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BackTools")

local Character = script.Parent
local UpperTorso = Character:FindFirstChild('UpperTorso') or Character:FindFirstChild('Torso')

local OldModel = nil

function Weld(weldMe, toThis)
	local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
	weld.Part0 = weldMe
	weld.Part1 = toThis
	weld.C0 = weldMe.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(toThis.CFrame)
	weld.Parent = toThis
end

Character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
	if OldModel.Name == child.Name then
		OldModel:Destroy()
	end
end)

Character.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(child)
	local Model = BackTools:FindFirstChild(child.Name)
	if child:IsA('Tool') and Model then
		if OldModel then
			OldModel:Destroy()
		end
		OldModel = Model:Clone()
		OldModel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(UpperTorso.CFrame)
		OldModel.Parent = workspace
		Weld(OldModel.PrimaryPart, UpperTorso)
	end
end)

here is our weld code but the problem is that the music doesn’t continue playing after unequipping.

show the script that plays the song and everything

#5 
local Tool = script.Parent
local Handle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local Remote = Tool:WaitForChild("Remote")
local Sound = Handle:WaitForChild("Sound")

function onUnequip()
	Sound:Stop()
end

function onActivate()
	Remote:FireClient(getPlayer(), "ChooseSong")
end

function getPlayer()
	return game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(Tool.Parent)
end

function playSong(id)
	id = id or ""

	if Sound then
		Sound:Destroy()
	end
	Sound = Instance.new'Sound'
	Sound.Parent = Handle
	Sound.Volume = 0.4
	Sound.Looped = true
	Sound.PlayOnRemove = false
	Sound.SoundId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id="..id
	Sound:Play()
	local shakevalue = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
	local addedvalue = Instance.new("IntValue")
	local bright = Instance.new("IntValue")
	local distance = Instance.new("IntValue")
	local shake = Instance.new("IntValue")
	shakevalue.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage.MonitorSoundsFolder
	shakevalue.Name = "Boomboxshake"
	shakevalue.Value = Sound
	--
	shake.Parent = shakevalue
	shake.Name = "ShakeMValue"
	shake.Value = 1
	--
	bright.Parent = shakevalue
	bright.Name = "BrightMValue"
	bright.Value = 1

	--
	addedvalue.Parent = shakevalue
	addedvalue.Name = "AddedValue"
	addedvalue.Value = 1
	--
	distance.Parent = shakevalue
	distance.Name = "DistanceValue"
	distance.Value = 6
end

function onRemote(player, func, ...)
	if player ~= getPlayer() then return end
	
	if func == "Activate" then
		onActivate(...)
	end
	
	if func == "PlaySong" then
		playSong(...)
	end
end

Remote.OnServerEvent:connect(onRemote)
Tool.Unequipped:connect(onUnequip)

ignore the shake part.

If I read it right it’s because the music is being parented to the tool. So when you unequip it the sound is inside player playing so you don’t hear it. Instead parent it to a part inside the character.

Isn’t it against the tos to repost something

I don’t think this is a repost. But they say, “Every reply must be meaningful, contributive, and on-topic. Do not re-post what others have already said, do not post memes or single-word posts such as “First!” or “bump”, and put effort into your posts.” so yeah it is.

u have that the sound stops on unequip, instead parent the sound to the backradio
