Welds with FilteringEnabled question

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Alright so,

I want to know your guys opinion on this.
I have this section of code, which moves the characters Right Leg:

W = Instance.new("Weld")
W.Parent = RL
W.Part0 = Torso
W.Part1 = RL
W.C0 = CFrame.new(0.5,-1.5,0.5) *  CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(-math.pi/4,0,0)

Without FilteringEnabled, the player and everyone else can see it.
With FilteringEnabled, only the player can see it.

So my plan is, to have a ServerScript and a LocalScript. The LocalScript does most of the work, and the ServerScript is only for creating the welds. ( A RemoteEvent will be used obviously )

Does this seem like a good idea?

I haven’t tried it right now, as I suspect there will be some Lag between the welds and the player. I don’t know this, this is why I wan’t your guys opinion on how I should tackle this problem.

You can’t set FE to false atm so there is no point.

Obviously FE is a better option no one here (99%) won’t recommend turning FE off anyways.

You should use the motor6d joints already in the character (or created on the server, if you have a custom character system) and have the client control it with the Transform property, it will replicate for you without the need for remote events Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Explain in more detail what the server script does. It doesn’t just tell the clients to make what ever weld is passed to it right?

#5

I’ve used Transform on the client before, it seems like sometimes it replicates to other clients and sometimes it doesn’t.

#6

I’ve edited it to hopefully make it make a little more sense.

I recommend the server creates and destroys the welds, but then have the client spam remoteevents that tell other clients to make a change to the welds locally
