Hello everyone and this is my third fps tutorial and is the second part! I did it as I stated in my last tutorial that I will make a tutorial on advanced systems.
Disclaimer: I am new to FPS making so please point out any errors or mistakes and I will be using the basics of this video here .
In this part we will be covering on how to make the gun aim and add idle animations.
Lets begin!
1. Aiming
Now we will be making the gun aim, I will do it a bit simpler way of trying to guess the offset instead of making an aim part.
-
In the framework we will add a new CFrame variable called aimcf:
-
Now make a bool and call it aiming:
-
And last but not least inside the run function:
if aiming then
--we will put something inside this shortly
else
--also soon
end
--note put this under the set primary part cframe
Now finally we put in the script:
- If aiming true:
aimcf = aimcf:lerp(weaponmodule.aimcf, 0.1) --the cframe offset and the speed
- If aiming false:
aimcf = aimcf:lerp(CFrame.new(), 0.1) --resetting the cframe
Now inside the gun module add a setting called the something like aimcframe or something.
Settings.aimcf = CFrame.new(0,0,0) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,0) --the aim offset dont do anything yet
2. Key binding
In this part we will make the gun actually aim.
lets begin!!!11111
- For aiming we dont need User Inpur Service since right mouse button can be accessed with mouse.
Check if you have mouse variable if not:
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
Now finally lets detect when right mouse button is pressed down:
mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
-- our script will be here
end)
And when its released:
mouse.Button2Up:Connect(function()
-- we will add our script here soon
end)
Now are you ready for the script?
Inside button down:
aiming = true
Inside button up:
aiming = false
3. Animations
In this part we will only do idle animation. I will try and explain this part as best as I can.
- Inside the module create a setting called idleanim
Settings.idleanim = "rbxassetid://"
Now inside setup we will set it as the animation like this:
local idle = Instance.new("Animation", currentweapon)
idle.AnimationId = weaponmodule.idleanim
local idleanim = currentweapon:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(idle)
idleanim:Play()
Now make your animation, publish it and get the animation id.
I will leave all the animations in animsaves inside the viewmodel.
- Insert the animation into the setting inside the module.
Test if it works!
4. The aiming offset
This will we a short part of the tutorial I will just explain a bit on how to guess it faster.
- Tip 1
CFrame.new(left-right, up-down, forward-backwards) - Tip 2
Dont be scared to use values like:
CFrame.new(0.112,0.505,-1.2) the more numbers you add after the dot the less bigger it will be - Tip 3
Try eyeing it, look how one stud looks and dont be afraid to experiment.
5. Outro
Thank you for reading this I really appreciate it thank you for everyone who commented who reported errors and really big thanks to GamerRyan18 who taught me a lot about FPS.
Next time we will maybe doing gun sway? Maybe shooting? You will need to wait to find out!

Thank you and see ya later!
P.S the place also got updated.
