Welding help? Orientation Problem.
I have created a Welding script which welds an armor in Server storage(cloned) to my upper torso. Now the armor has many parts and a middle upper torso. After setting the upper torso, when I go for other parts to be welded they are not perfectly oriented. So can anyone tell me what is that I am doing wrong? Note : Middle is the real Upper Torso part that needs to be welded and Union1 is an extra detail that I created.
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local debounce = false
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
if key == "h" then
if not debounce then
debounce = true
char.UpperTorso.Transparency = 1
--Upper Torso
--Middle
local uppertorsoweld = Instance.new("Weld")
local uppertorso = game.ServerStorage.IronManSuit.UpperTorso2.Middle:Clone()
uppertorso.CFrame = char.UpperTorso.CFrame
uppertorso.Parent = script.Parent
uppertorsoweld.Part0 = char.UpperTorso
uppertorsoweld.C0 = char.UpperTorso.CFrame:Inverse()
uppertorsoweld.Part1 = uppertorso
uppertorsoweld.C1 = uppertorso.CFrame:Inverse()
uppertorsoweld.Parent = script.Parent
-- Union 1
local uppertorso1weld = Instance.new("Weld")
local uppertorso1 = game.ServerStorage.IronManSuit.UpperTorso2.Union1:Clone()
uppertorso1.CFrame = uppertorso.CFrame*CFrame.new(0,0.27,-0.06)
uppertorso1.Parent = script.Parent
uppertorso1weld.Part0 = uppertorso
uppertorso1weld.C0 = uppertorso.CFrame:Inverse()
uppertorso1weld.Part1 = uppertorso1
uppertorso1weld.C1 = uppertorso1.CFrame:Inverse()
uppertorso1weld.Parent = script.Parent
wait(5)
debounce = false
end
end
end)
end)

Your weld needed to be re-orientated. Basically, when you weld two parts together, they will return to their "perfect orientation" of 0, 0, 0. So, when you weld the Torso to the armor, they resets their orientation, the Torso is unaffected because the default orientation of it is identical to what the weld trying to set it to. The armor? Maybe not. So in order to re-orientate it, you need to use CFrame.Angles
Example:
Weld.C1 = CFrame.Angles(0,15,0) --rotate Part1 15 Y radians
And that’s basically how it works. But in your script you also use inverse, so we also need to combine those two together, using the * operator:
Weld.C1 = Part1.CFrame:inverse() * CFrame.Angles(0,15,0) --inverse the cframe AND rotate Part1 15 Y radians
And that’s all done. You should be able to rotate your shield now. Just change the angles to the ones you desire.
NOTICE: CFrame.Angles uses RADIANS, not DEGREES, be sure to use the correct values.
