Every time I add a motor6d, the part just rotates

This is what the gun looks like before I put in the motor6d:

And after I add it, it just rotates the part?

Why is this happening?

Hello @Rynappel!

I am not highly knowledgeable on this area, it seems you are attempting to rig a gun.

Here is a bit of help for you.

Try this video.

Try this plugin!

Here is a video on moon animator.

Stay safe and good luck!

Yep you gotta use a rigging plugin or else the C0 and C1 of the motor6D will be incorrect:

Here is a visualization of what’s happening:

Animation offset, how do I fix it?

Yep definitely a problem, you will need to make sure the C0 and C1 joint of the created Motor6D is the same as the one you used in the animation. You can do this by printing the CFrame of the C0 joint then setting the newly created Motor6D equal to that: print(workspace.character.UpperArm.Motor6DJoint.C0) Here is a visualization of what’s happening.

Yeah, I found a plugin and I’m using that now.
