Welds break unexpectedly with different characters

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I hope you are all having a good evening.

I have a slight issue with my game: my welds are breaking for no reason on different character meshes besides the basic one.

I have tried looking around on the Developer Hub to solve this issue, but to no avail.

Here is what I mean:

If I use my avatar I always use, it works as expected:

But, when I go ahead and use a different character with a different package, the welds break unexpectedly:

Here is my script where I create the weld (updated):

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()
local torso = character.UpperTorso
local sword = game.ReplicatedStorage.Sword:Clone()

sword:PivotTo(torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(2, 1.5, torso.Size.Z / 2 + 0.05) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(270), math.rad(-45), 0))
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", sword.Handle)
weld.Name = "SwordWeld"
weld.Part0 = weld.Parent
weld.Part1 = torso
sword.Parent = character
local onhand = player.Character:SetAttribute("equipped", false)
sword.Handle.Anchored = false

The script is a regular Script.

I'm stumped on this. It would be greatly appreciated if somebody could help me figure this out.

Try to run this code when character fully loaded, my guess is when roblox loads in the package the weld breaks

The good news is it welds now.

The bad news is it doesn’t position itself properly:

Edit: I forgot. Here’s the new script (nothing really changed):

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()
local torso = character.UpperTorso
local sword = game.ReplicatedStorage.Sword:Clone()

sword:PivotTo(torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(2, 1.5, torso.Size.Z / 2 + 0.05) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(270), math.rad(-45), 0))
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", sword.Handle)
weld.Name = "SwordWeld"
weld.Part0 = weld.Parent
weld.Part1 = torso
sword.Parent = character
local onhand = player.Character:SetAttribute("equipped", false)
sword.Handle.Anchored = false

I found out that I could prevent this issue by adding wait(2) in the script:

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()
wait(2)
local torso = character.UpperTorso
local sword = game.ReplicatedStorage.Sword:Clone()

sword:PivotTo(torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(2, 1.5, torso.Size.Z / 2 + 0.05) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(270), math.rad(-45), 0))
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", sword.Handle)
weld.Name = "SwordWeld"
weld.Part0 = weld.Parent
weld.Part1 = torso
sword.Parent = character
local onhand = player.Character:SetAttribute("equipped", false)
sword.Handle.Anchored = false

Thank you, the one person for trying to help me.

You can add 2 into :Wait as it will wait 2 seconds after appearance is loaded

Just tested it and it doesn’t wait 2 seconds after.

It probably will in a different scenario.

Appreciate the help though!
