I'm trying to make a flashlight where it's just a handle and a big yellow dome the handle is CFramed into the middle of. That way, when you take out the flashlight, it looks like the area around you is being lit up. However, when you take out the flashlight, the player holds it behind their back and flips all over. The two parts are UnCanCollide and welded, so I have no clue what's going on. Here's the link:

Is it just not possible to do something like this, or is there something I'm doing wrong?

I'm pretty sure you need some sort of tool weld script. It usually happens to people when making basic tool some times.

It is welded. I think it has something to do with the fact that there's a big dome of light that the player is inside when they take the tool out.

Does the weld use CFrame.angle ? Sounds like the code is CFraming the cone with top at top instead of rotating it to lay sideways.
I'm only guessing , weapons have eluded me so far.

It's not a weapon, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to do with welding because the weld I'm usng is one I use for all of my guns. Do you mind taking a look at the model, though?

Anchored is a huge problem even I run into. Sometimes when I'm making a tool I accidently anchor the Handle.

Have any of you guys taken a look at the model? It's not anchored, and it's not in my game. Though I can try a different weld script.

I took a look at your flashlight, all it kept doing is error, weld should not be a child of flashlight. And when i used it I kept falling down getting up and falling down again.

So Humor me and try crazyman32's auto-weld script. Or add a script removal line to yours.

Ps the size of the sphere is probably what keeps knocking me over.

Alright, I'm just giving up on this at this point. It looks like it's impossible to do this because the shpere is bigger than the player. Thanks for the suggestions, though.

Have you tried using a mesh for the sphere?

I could for fun. but I realized, putting a dome like that around the character won't make it feel brighter, it will just make it harder to see. Thanks, though.
