Weld Remover Script only works in Roblox Studio.. Any help?

Solved, but doesnt work in a server..

while true do
        if script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Weld") then

            script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Weld"):remove()

    end
    wait(1.3)
    end

It doesn't remove welds in a server, but works fine in roblox studio.

Original post:

repeat wait() until
script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Weld") == true

if script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Weld") == true then
    script.Parent.Weld:remove()
end

I am trying to implement the classic grab tool in my game, but it makes things stick to walls. At first I thought it was because of it being anchored after grabbed, but its just welds.

Now I am trying to figure out how to make a script that could remove those welds.

local tool = script.Parent

tool.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(descendant)
    if descendant:IsA("Weld") then
        descendant:Destroy() -- remove is deprecated so use destroy instead
    end
end)

The above script will remove any instance thats gets parented to the tool that is a weld. But you might wanna, fix the issue thats causing the welds instead.

Add a Script under the model.

This script goes through all the Descendants of the part and destroys any welds.

--2Loos' WeldBreaker script.
for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do --Returns all descendants of the parent in a table.
    if v:IsA("WeldConstraint") or v:IsA("Weld") then --Looks only for welds.
        v:Destroy() --Destroys weld.
    end
end

Make sure you publish the game! This is a common issue! Please take a look at this article if you're unsure how to!

Steps to publish:

  1. Press "File" at the top left.

  2. Press "Publish to Roblox"

  3. Follow any steps, such as filling in the name, and description, if that is the first time.
