FPS Weapon Arms

[MRG_GROUPHOLDER (SlayerShowdownsHolde)]

Hello Devforum,

I want to create an FPS game for fun but I am unaware on how I can show arms in first person. What I mean is players can see their arms in first person when they have their weapon out. How can I do this?

I thnk this one works.FPS using ViewModels (The improved version) // Parts: 2 out of 3

The link that @Miserable_Haven posted works and is technically better, but from my experience making FPS games, ViewModels sometimes can sometimes be a huge hassle to deal with. If you want a simpler alternative, you can use this simple script instead. All it does is make the player’s arm visible when a tool is equipped.

-- LocalScript in StarterGui (or anywhere else the LocalScript also works in!)

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local ArmNames = {
	"Left Arm",
	"Right Arm",
	"LeftHand",
	"LeftLowerArm",
	"LeftUpperArm",
	"RightHand",
	"RightLowerArm",
	"RightUpperArm",
}

local function FirstPerson(Character)
	for i, v in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
		if table.find(ArmNames, v.Name) then
			Character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Child)
				if Child.ClassName == "Tool" then
					v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
				end
			end)
			
			v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalTransparencyModifier"):Connect(function()
				if not Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
					return
				end
				
				v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
			end)
		end
	end
end

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	FirstPerson(Character)
end)

if Player.Character then
	FirstPerson(Player.Character)

	Player.Character.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
		FirstPerson(Player.Character)
	end)
end
