Welding tool to player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve been working on a game and I was trying to make a tool weld to the character, and I’ve looked through some documentation and I just don’t get what’s wrong with my code.

--//Player and Tool
local Pickaxe = script.Parent
local Character = Pickaxe.Parent
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character.Parent)
--//Animations
local Animations = Pickaxe.Animations
local Idle = Animations.Idle
local Swing = Animations.Swing

if not Character or not Character.Parent then
	Character = Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end

function Equipped()
	local Weld = Instance.new("Weld", Pickaxe.PickaxeMod.Handle)
	Weld.Part0 = Pickaxe.PickaxeMod.Handle
	Weld.Part1 = Player["RightHand"]
	Weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0) + Vector3.new(0,Player["RightHand"],0)
end

function UnEquipped()
	for i,v in ipairs(Pickaxe:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Weld") then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
end


Pickaxe.Equipped:Connect(Equipped())
Pickaxe.Unequipped:Connect(UnEquipped())

When run in studio, mind you this is for a R15 Rig, I get the error

Which wouldn’t usually be a problem but I’ve been looking at others’ posts and their script seems to work for them.

Any help would be appreciated.

it’s Player.Character.RightHand, not Player.RightHand

#3

Forgive the reply but when I put that, its given me this error.

This is another error that kept me fiddling with it.

When the player spawns, you don’t have the tool equipped, thus the parent is the backpack of the player, not the character, therefore do

local Pickaxe = script.Parent
local Player = Pickaxe.Parent.Parent
local Character = Player.Character
