I made this rope swinging script, using rope constraints. But whenever I shoot the rope I get stuck midair, unable to move. I have no idea why. Any help please?

01--// Variables
02 
03local players = game:GetService("Players") 
04local plr = players.LocalPlayer
05 
06local char = plr.Character
07local head = char:FindFirstChild("Head")
08 
09local athA = Instance.new("Attachment") 
10local athPart = game.Workspace.AttachPart --This is a specific part that the rope attaches to
11local athB = Instance.new("Attachment")
12athB.Parent = athPart 
13athA.Position = Vector3.new(0,0,-1)
14athA.Parent = head
15local length 
16local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
17isSwinging = false
18 
19--// Functions:

21uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key) 
22    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R  then
23        if isSwinging == false then
24            isSwinging = true
25            script.WebSound:Play()
26            wait(0.1)
27            rope = Instance.new("RopeConstraint")
28            length = (head.Position - athPart.Position).magnitude
29            rope.Attachment0 = athB
30            rope.Attachment1 = athA
31            rope.Length = length
32            rope.Visible = true
33            rope.Parent = head

To figure out the process of whats going on make sure you double check by playing the character and then looking if the attachment is there or not, a simple bug can be easily fixed if you look hard enough. I'm guessing you just didn't name the attachment 0 or one. Example

1local athA = Instance.new("Attachment")
2local athPart = game.Workspace.AttachPart
3local athA.Name = "Attachment0"

The attachments and rope are there I just get stuck midair unable to move. I used a LocalScript and placed it inside StarterCharacterScripts HeyItzDanniee 252 — 6y

you probably should just place a regular script unless the startplayer gets himself hanged by a rope example: ClickDetector needs and event and a local script. but if its when the server does something for example 60 seconds and the everyone is hanged then do a regular script. when i think of local i think of local player.
