Welds not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    Weld parts together using a script.

  2. What is the issue?
    The welds don’t work. I believe their property “Active” should be set to true, but it’s not.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I’ve searched many posts but none of them seemed to fix my problem and all of them were using code just like I am using. Perhaps the problem could be that I’m “exporting” those parts from a ViewPort Frame to workspace?

Here’s my code:

function weld(p0, p1)
	local w = Instance.new("Weld")
	w.Parent = p0
	w.Part0 = p0
	w.Part1 = p1
	w.C1 = (p0.CFrame+p0.PositionAttachment.CFrame.Position)*p1.CFrame
	return w
end

Use weldconstraint they’re much easier to use.

Thanks for the reply! It worked. Could you please explain to me the difference between Weld and WeldConstraint?

The only major difference is that Weld has been removed from “Insert Object” and WeldConstraint was added somewhat recently.

Weld has been superceded by WeldConstraint
