Choppy Arms when forcing first person + LocalTransparencyModifier

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello!

Recently, I’ve been trying to make a first person fighting game, and to make the arms to show up while in first person I decided to use LocalTransparencyModifier.

It works great when idle, but when the character starts to spin around, it becomes pretty choppy:

This is the script I am currently using to achieve this:

local function modifyTransparency()
	for _, part in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
		-- head gets in the way
		if part:IsA("BasePart") and part.Name ~= "Head" then
			part.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
		end
	end
end

-- some stuff to make the camera look good
humanoid.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(0, 0, -1)
currentCamera.FieldOfView = 85
armsIdleAnimation:Play()

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	-- not sure if calling this every frame is the most efficient, 
	-- but when doing research for how to do this I kept seeing this
	modifyTransparency()
end)

Does anyone know any potential fixes there are or workarounds for this? Thanks!

Hope you have solved this already, however if you haven’t;
The issue with what it currently looks like is that it “jumps” to different positions. Do you think it would be possible to use BodyMovers?

This way it might look more “organic”, not sure if this is will work but figured this thread might benefit from a revival.
