I have created a piece off code that allows the players to put anchors down which connect together and the last one placed connects to the player by a rope. However, the attachments are randomly not being found after the delete has run a phew times.

There is a part in ServerStorage called Anchor which is cloned. Parented to it are the following things:

  • A attachment, also called Anchor.

  • Two variables, nextanchor and previousanchor.

I have added an if statement to prevent the error breaking it in the remove, but it won't work correctly if it skips the part in the if statement.

The line off code is similar in place and remove, and it is this line that is having a error in both: NewRope.Attachment1 = Anchor.Anchor

The full script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.PlaceAnchor.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	local Character = Player.Character
	local LastAnchor:ObjectValue = Player:FindFirstChild("LastAnchor")
	local Anchors:IntValue = Player:FindFirstChild("Anchors")
	local Rope:RopeConstraint = Character:FindFirstChild("Rope")
	
	if Anchors.Value >= 1 then
		local Anchor = game.ServerStorage.Anchor:Clone()
		Anchor.Parent = workspace
		Anchor.CFrame = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
		if LastAnchor.Value then
			local LastAnchorAttachment = LastAnchor.Value.Anchor
			local NewRope = Instance.new("RopeConstraint")
			NewRope.Parent = LastAnchor.Value
			NewRope.Attachment0 = LastAnchorAttachment
			NewRope.Attachment1 = Anchor.Anchor
			NewRope.Length = 52
			NewRope.Visible = true
			NewRope.Name = "Rope"
			Anchor.PreviosAnchor.Value = LastAnchor.Value
			LastAnchor.Value.NextAnchor.Value = Anchor
		end
		Anchors.Value -= 1
		LastAnchor.Value = Anchor
		Rope.Attachment1 = Anchor.Anchor
		Rope.Visible = true
	end
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.RemoveAnchor.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	local Character = Player.Character
	local LastAnchor:ObjectValue = Player:FindFirstChild("LastAnchor")
	local Anchors:IntValue = Player:FindFirstChild("Anchors")
	local Rope:RopeConstraint = Character:FindFirstChild("Rope")
	local OP = OverlapParams.new()
	OP.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Character}
	local SurroundingParts = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame, Vector3.new(10,10,10),OP)
	for i, SurroundingPart in pairs(SurroundingParts) do
		if SurroundingPart.Name == "Anchor" and SurroundingPart:IsA("Part") then
			if SurroundingPart.PreviosAnchor.Value then
				local LastAnchor2 = SurroundingPart.PreviosAnchor.Value
				if SurroundingPart.NextAnchor.Value then
					local LastRope:RopeConstraint = LastAnchor2:FindFirstChild("Rope")
					local NextAnchor = SurroundingPart.NextAnchor.Value
					if LastAnchor2:FindFirstChild("Anchor") then
						LastRope.Attachment1 = NextAnchor.Anchor
					end
					SurroundingPart:Destroy()
					Anchors.Value += 1
					-- Next anchor placed
					break
				else
					-- Next anchor not placed
					local NextAnchor = Character
					local LastRope:RopeConstraint = Character:FindFirstChild("Rope")
					if LastAnchor2:FindFirstChild("Anchor") then
						LastRope.Attachment1 = LastAnchor2.Anchor
					end
					SurroundingPart:Destroy()
					Anchors.Value += 1
					break
				end
			else
				-- No anchor before.
				if SurroundingPart.NextAnchor.Value then
					SurroundingPart:Destroy()
					Anchors.Value += 1
					-- Next anchor placed
					break
				else
					-- Next anchor not placed
					local NextAnchor = Character
					SurroundingPart:Destroy()
					Anchors.Value += 1
					break
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)
