How do you weld a ship with hundreds of parts together with a script so it can move?
I am trying to weld a pirate ship together with code so that it can move through the water. Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out the right coding. I have tried many different codes but they don't seem to work. Such as: w = Instance.new("Weld") w.Part0 = _____ w.C0 = ____.CFrame:inverse() w.Part1 = script.Parent w.C1 = script.Parent.CFrame:inverse() w.Parent = script.Parent
The boat needs to be all welded together and unanchored.

You'll need to run a loop welding and indexing all the parts, and then after the parts are indexed, unanchor them.
Something like this-
Parts = -- Place where all the blocks are Engine = -- Main block
Get = {}
for _,v in pairs(Parts:GetChildren()) do if v:IsA("BasePart") then table.insert(Get,v) if v ~= Engine then local Weld = Instance.new("Weld") Weld.Part0 = Engine Weld.Part1 = v Weld.C0 = CFrame.new() Weld.C1 = v.CFrame:inverse() * Engine.CFrame Weld.Parent = Engine end end end
wait()
for _,v in pairs(Get) do v.Anchored = false end
0
A shorter way
local prev
for _,v in ipairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
if prev ~= nil then
local w = Instance.new("Weld")
local a = v.CFrame:inverse()
local b = prev.CFrame:inverse()
w.Part0 = v
w.Part1 = prev
w.C0 = a
w.C1 = b
w.Parent = v
v.Anchored = false
end
prev = v
end
end
Use the SIXWELDIT plugin. Make sure they are unanchored otherwise it will not move.
