My constraints are not working how I want them to. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using a RopeConstraint as handcuffs so when you click on a player with the handcuffs, you can jail them and pull them wherever you would like. However it gets glitchy and the jailed person can actually move by pulling the handcuff holder when he's not moving. I've tried attaching the constraints to the HumanoidRootPart, Legs, Arms, Torso and even the tool itself but none of them solve this problem. Its filtering enabled compatible currently. And if anyone knows how to solve the problem with me still being able to use the tool once I've unequipped it for the first time, please let me know.
**-- Local Script**
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = Player:GetMouse()
debounce = false
anim = game.ReplicatedStorage.Caught
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if mouse.Target ~= nil then
local Hit = mouse.Target
print("hi")
if Hit.Name == ("Torso") or Hit.Name == ("Head") or Hit.Name == ("Left Leg") or Hit.Name == ("Right Leg") or Hit.Name == ("HumanoidRootPart") or Hit.Name == ("Left Arm") or Hit.Name == ("Right Arm") then
print("hi")
local Jailed = Hit.Parent
local Jailed2 = Jailed:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Jailed1 = Player.Character.Tool.Handle
script.Parent.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse,anim,Jailed,Jailed2,Jailed1,Hit)
end end
end) end)
**-- Script**
script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,mouse,anim,Jailed,Jailed2,Jailed1,Hit)
print("hi")
local attachmentB = Instance.new("Attachment",Jailed2)
local attachmentA = Instance.new("Attachment",Jailed1)
attachmentA.Position = Vector3.new(1,-0.7,0.3)
attachmentB.Position = Vector3.new(0,0,0.3)
print("hi")
local ropeConstraint = Instance.new("RopeConstraint",Jailed1)
ropeConstraint.Attachment0 = attachmentA
ropeConstraint.Attachment1 = attachmentB
ropeConstraint.Length = 10
ropeConstraint.Visible = true
ropeConstraint.Color = BrickColor.Black()
ropeConstraint.Thickness = 0.2
ropeConstraint.Restitution = 0.5
Jailed.Humanoid.Walkspeed = 0
local caught = Jailed.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
caught:Play()
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
ropeConstraint:Destroy()
caught:Stop()
Jailed.Humanoid.Walkspeed
end)
end)

Create an invisible, anchored, non-collidable Part that is continuously updated to have its Position equal to the torso of the one holding the handcuffs.
The reason you can still use the tool after unequipping is because you never destroy the connection you made to mouse.Button1Down.
--Near top
local con
--Line 10:
con = mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
--At end of LocalScript:
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
if con then
con:Disconnect()
con = nil
end
end)
Also, you shouldn't connect to events within other events (server-script, line 46) -- you'll end up making more than one connection over time. Instead, use a boolean variable, like this:
local isCaught = false
local ropeConstraint, caught, jailed
function CaughtDone()
if isCaught then
ropeConstraint:Destroy()
caught:Stop()
jailed.Humanoid.Walkspeed = 15 -- or whatever
end
isCaught = false
end
--At the beginning of the RemoteEvent:
CaughtDone() -- clean up any previous handcuffing
--Right after "caught:Play()":
isCaught = true
jailed = Jailed -- store who is Jailed in the 'jailed' variable so that 'CaughtDone' has access to it
--Delete the script.Parent.Unequipped block
--At the end of the script:
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(CaughtDone)
