Help Fixing FPS Viewmodel Script

What do I want to achieve?
I’m trying to attach an FPS viewmodel to a player’s camera.

What is the issue?
My script that is meant to attach the viewmodel to the camera is not working properly, or that’s at least what I’m assuming.

What solutions have I tried so far?
I have tried rewriting my code, different viewmodels, placing my script in different places, changing my script from LocalScript to Script, and getting help from a fellow dev.

My script (this is the only script – LocalScript – in the game so far, it’s in the StarterCharacterScripts):

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera;
local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait():WaitForChild("Humanoid");

local viewModel = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("viewModel"):Clone();

local function onDied()
	viewModel.Parent = nil;
end

local function onUpdate(dt)
	viewModel.Head.CFrame = camera.CFrame;
end

humanoid.Died:Connect(onDied);
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(onUpdate);

Thanks in advance.

From what I see here, the parent of viemodel is not set.

#3

The parent is the ReplicatedStorage.

#4

Objects in replicated storage are not visible to the viewport. The parent of the viewmodel is not set to its proper position in workspace.

#5

I think you forgot to parent the cloned ViewModel to the camera
