How to attach players hand to an attachment?

[RoDesign_Studios]

Hi, I have a steering wheel that moves and 2 attachment points on both sides which I hope to be able to attach the player’s hands to.

Any idea on how I might be able to do this?
Cheers,

You can use @Elocore solution which works.

Attaching a characters hands to a steering wheel

Sorry for the really late reply but I think I have just what your looking for. I was able to make the arms point at the attachments you have in the steering wheel. The arms were too short to reach on their own so I made the character lean forward by editing the Waist joint. If you don’t want the character to lean forward and still reach the wheel you will need to adjust your model so that can happen. There is a variable in the code that controls how many degrees forward the character is leaning …

However, one criticism would be that the IK solution used in that post uses a simple point the shoulders towards the attachments solution, which doesn’t allow for the shoulders to bend naturally though it’s a lot simplistic than the next method.

handsOnWheel function

function handsOnWheel(rightShoulder, leftShoulder)
    --Find the positions on the wheel we want the hand to point to
	local rightTargetPosition = CFrame.new(rightShoulder.Part0.CFrame:PointToObjectSpace(handRight.WorldPosition)) *(rightShoulder.C0 - rightShoulder.C0.p)
	local leftTargetPosition = CFrame.new(leftShoulder.Part0.CFrame:PointToObjectSpace(handLeft.WorldPosition)) *(leftShoulder.C0 - leftShoulder.C0.p)
	
    --Adjust target positions so that the center of the hand will point to target position, otherwise the top left part of the hand will point to target position
	rightTargetPosition = rightTargetPosition *CFrame.new(-rightShoulder.Part1.Size.X/2, -rightShoulder.Part1.Size.Y/2, 0)
	leftTargetPosition = leftTargetPosition *CFrame.new(leftShoulder.Part1.Size.X/2, -leftShoulder.Part1.Size.Y/2, 0)
	
    --Rotate arms 90 degrees downward so that the end of the hand will point to target position
	local rightC0 = CFrame.new(rightShoulder.C0.p, rightTargetPosition.p) *CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90), 0, 0)
	local leftC0 = CFrame.new(leftShoulder.C0.p, leftTargetPosition.p) *CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90), 0, 0)
	
	rightShoulder.C0 = rightC0
	leftShoulder.C0 =  leftC0
end

Or you can use my CCDIK module which requries a lot more setup but you can achieve something cool like what @Defaultio has done, I believe he has done it in the rbxl place file though.

Although, I’ve downloaded the place and 2 things,
The arm or leg goes crazy.

or, I downloaded the module but have no idea where to start

nvm, I got it working, except it doesn’t update locally
