How do I weld a cloned part to a player?
*I'm new so please explain the error rather than just fixing the problem.
This is the Server Script which is located in the (ServerScriptService)
hitBoxEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.HitBoxEvents.HitboxEvent
hitBoxEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local hitboxOriginal = game.ReplicatedStorage.HitBoxes.BodyHitBox
local hitboxCopy = hitboxOriginal:Clone()
hitboxCopy.CFrame = char.Torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)
local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
weld.Part0 = char.Torso
weld.C0 = char.Torso.CFrame:Inverse()
weld.Part1 = hitboxCopy
weld.C1 = hitboxCopy.CFrame:Inverse()
weld.Parent = hitboxCopy
end)
This is the local script which is located in the (StarterPlayerScripts)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local char = plr.Character game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.HitBoxEvents.HitboxEvent:FireServer() end)

a localplayer cant be set in a server script
hitBoxEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function() local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer--cant do that local char = player.Character
so do this instead
hitBoxEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)--events fired from a localscript always come with a player argument FIRST, doesnt matter what you put inside FireServer() (stuff inside fireserver() are arguments that come after the player that fired the server) local char = player.Character
the stuff in the localscript needs to be in the server script, like this:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local char = player.Character
local hitboxOriginal = game.ReplicatedStorage.HitBoxes.BodyHitBox
local hitboxCopy = hitboxOriginal:Clone()
hitboxCopy.CFrame = char.Torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)
local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
weld.Part0 = char.Torso
weld.C0 = char.Torso.CFrame:Inverse()
weld.Part1 = hitboxCopy
weld.C1 = hitboxCopy.CFrame:Inverse()
weld.Parent = hitboxCopy
end)
in other words, the local script doesnt need to exist (i guess) other than that everything else is fine (i guess) edit: hitboxcopy doesnt have a parent, so it would normally not exist anywhere. make sure to set one
