How do you make a simple viewmodel?

[opticthunder]

I’m making a simple pvp game with lasers and paintball guns. The guns work fine, but now I need a viewmodel for the players. I’m sort of a beginner at scripting, so I don’t really know where to start. I tried to look at the 2020 fps framework post, but it was super complicated for me, was unnecessary for my game, and had a lot of blender-related content which I don’t really want to use.

tl;dr I need a simple viewmodel, but I don’t know how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This post has some information on what you need.

The First Person Element Of A First Person Shooter

This guide was originally written for scriptinghelpers. The original can be found here. In this post we will be talking about creating our very own filtering enabled friendly first person shooter (FPS) game. I do want to make clear though that I won’t be covering how to actually make the weapon shoot in this article. All we are going to be covering is the visuals meaning having the character aim down sights, look up and down, etc. Maybe we’ll talk about shooting another day. Things to take …

I’ll take a look at it and try it out. I’ll give updates in the future!

I couldn’t figure out where to put the scripting or anything. The tutorial would tell me to write a giant block of code but I don’t have a clue of where it goes or anything.

Edit: I found a way around this. I could just make the arms not invisible when zoomed in all the way. It’s a pretty hacky solution, but my scripting knowledge is just too primitive. Thank you for the help, though!
