What is wrong with this welding script?
This localscript is supposed to weld something to a player, if a value is changed to true, and remove it if it is change to false.
This is a local script in the workspace
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local Magic = player.MagicEquiped -- There is a Boolvalue in the player called MagicEquiped
local playername = player.Name
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) -- This bit here doesn't even work
if key == "q" then
if Magic == true then
Magic = false
elseif Magic == false then
Magic = true
end
end
end)
Magic.Changed:connect(function()
if Magic.Value == true then
local hit = game.Workspace[playername]
local LeftArm = hit["Left Arm"]
if hit:findFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and LeftArm:findFirstChild("MyLeftArm") == nil then
g = game.Lighting.MyLeftArm:Clone()
g.Parent = LeftArm
local C = g:GetChildren()
for i=1, #C do
if C[i].className == "Part" or C[i].ClassName == "UnionOperation" then
local W = Instance.new("Weld")
W.Part0 = g.Middle
W.Part1 = C[i]
local CJ = CFrame.new(g.Middle.Position)
local C0 = g.Middle.CFrame:inverse()*CJ
local C1 = C[i].CFrame:inverse()*CJ
W.C0 = C0
W.C1 = C1
W.Parent = g.Middle
end
local Y = Instance.new("Weld")
Y.Part0 = LeftArm
Y.Part1 = g.Middle
Y.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0.05) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, 0, 0)
Y.Parent = Y.Part0
end
end
elseif Magic.Value == false then
g:remove()
end
end)

I haven't even looked at the script yet, I just read your introduction. This might be the error: LocalScripts don't run in Workspace. Discern 1007 — 9y

I would like to confirm that, LOCAL SCRIPTS DO NOT RUN IN WORKSPACE! Perci1 4988 — 9y

Where would I put it? in the player? How would I get it there? Mystdar 352 — 9y

The best place to place this script is in either StarterGui or StarterPack. Discern 1007 — 9y

It says that MagicEquiped is not a valid member of player, however when I look in the player, there is a boolvalue called 'MagicEquiped' Mystdar 352 — 9y

Udated: Oops, missed wait(1) method!
I might solve your code, but first, remember that LOCALSCRIPTS actually work in Workspace. I made a game called Pepsi Escape, it has localscripts in workspace and they work perfectly.
For best results try putting it into StarterPack: Anyway... Here is my fixed code. You missed 'WaitForChild()' function.
But what is WaitForChild()??? WaitForChild is a method that freezes the whole script until the variable (object) gets added.
wait(1) -- I added the wait method to freeze the full script for 1 second, so it detects boolvalue when added (0.999999(...) seconds to be added).
local player = game:service("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local Magic = player:WaitForChild('MagicEquiped') -- There is a Boolvalue in the player called MagicEquiped
local playername = player.Name
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) -- This bit here doesn't even work
if key == "q" then
if Magic == true then
Magic = false
elseif Magic == false then
Magic = true
end
end
end)
Magic.Changed:connect(function()
if Magic.Value == true then
local hit = game.Workspace[playername]
local LeftArm = hit["Left Arm"]
if hit:findFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and LeftArm:findFirstChild("MyLeftArm") == nil then
g = game.Lighting.MyLeftArm:Clone()
g.Parent = LeftArm
local C = g:GetChildren()
for i=1, #C do
if C[i].className == "Part" or C[i].ClassName == "UnionOperation" then
local W = Instance.new("Weld")
W.Part0 = g.Middle
W.Part1 = C[i]
local CJ = CFrame.new(g.Middle.Position)
local C0 = g.Middle.CFrame:inverse()*CJ
local C1 = C[i].CFrame:inverse()*CJ
W.C0 = C0
W.C1 = C1
W.Parent = g.Middle
end
local Y = Instance.new("Weld")
Y.Part0 = LeftArm
Y.Part1 = g.Middle
Y.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0.05) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, 0, 0)
Y.Parent = Y.Part0
end
end
elseif Magic.Value == false then
g:remove()
end
end)

Tried, doesn't work, any advice? Mystdar 352 — 9y

Updated using wait method, if still doesn't work tell output. Hope this helps! ~marcoantoniosantos3 marcoantoniosantos3 200 — 9y
