Okay, so if I understand correctly. If you put a humanoid in a model, it gains health, speed, and other things in the properties of the humanoid. Using the :MoveTo() method gradually moves the model to a location (if you index the humaoind). Say I wanted to make a dog, do I build the dog out of bricks, insert a humanoid and start moving it? Do I have to weld the parts? Are there any extra steps? Thanks.

Yes, parts have to be connected by some sort of method, whether it's Motor6D's (used in character limbs) or Weld objects, or whatever other ones there are.

You basically have to make a pseudo character based around the Humanoid object.

When you say "You basically have to make a pseudo character based around the Humanoid object.", do you mean I must make and name the parts as actual parts of the average character. As in, they must have legs, they must have arms. Also, what's better to use, welds or Motor6D? What's the pro's and con's of each?

Sort of follow the "syntax" of the default character. Names must be the same. Size and location do not matter. You can also add extra parts to it. You don't need the scripts though.

However, you must have a script that connects the parts right away or else the Humanoid will die immediately.

Thank you, one last question however. Is it safe to use Motor6D to animate the character? The wiki says this: "This item is deprecated. Do not use it for new work.".

Hmm...well the character object still uses it.

However I would always prefer to use Welds.

Mhm, welds will do. Say I have a block that is CFramed inside of the torso, would welding it keep it CFramed?

Yup. When I build planes, I write auto-weld scripts for them as well so I can CFrame parts as much as I want
