I am making a viewmodel and I am making it so that some hands adapt to all types of weapons, but now I have made it so that when the player equips the weapon quickly clones the ViewModel of a folder and grabs the weapon from the inventory and puts it in the viewmodel but personally I think that it is not so optimized in the case that there are many players, maybe I do ALL in a single viewmodel, but how would I do it? I think that when the weapon is cloned in the viewmodel, I should add the descendants of the weapon in a table so that the moment that the player equips another weapon I delete the descendants that are in the table (the weapon) and the other weapon I clone it in the viewmodel and add it in a table and so on? tell me another way or tell me how I could perfect this?
You’re overcomplicating a viewmodel system. Instead of having the weapon attach to existing arms, just have each weapon rig also have the arms. Use base-level arms so that you can change/customize them in runtime.
If you want to optimize the viewmodels, have a viewmodel handler parent all viewmodels to Camera upon initialization, and set all base parts of it anchored and having a transparency of 1. When a viewmodel is “loaded”, just have it go back to the original visibility and only CFrame that one. This method of optimization is called “culling”.
In many games, the client will put the low-quality weapon on other players and the main viewmodel is just for yourself. The weapon is cloned or parented in the viewmodel.
I think you got the rest good.
