Even then for

how would i do this with the current method i use?

i have this in the local script

RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
	if UserInputService:IsMouseButtonPressed(Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1) then
	if not Tool.Parent:IsA("Backpack") then
			local mPos = ms.Hit.Position

			FEvent:FireServer(mPos)		
		end
	end
end)

and in the server script i got

local shotTime = tick()
local fireRate = tool.strings.FireRate.Value
local timeLimit = 2/3
if not ((tick()-shotTime) >= fireRate*timeLimit) then return end
	shotTime = tick() -- just a cut out segment of the code

how would i make the animation match the firerate of the gun?

#16

Make a bool value for if the gun is firing or not

#17

Not sure how i would use a bool value, especially on fast guns since wouldn’t at some point the animation would get off track from the gun firing?

Also got the animation to stop

And the gun is still pointing the other direction

, when i pull it out, for a split second the gun is facing forwards then it flips left

#18

Maybe a script is interfering?

#19

would a welding script mess anything up?

#20

Yes, since motor6ds are welds, except animatable

#21

Alright, what other ways could i keep my gun together without some sort of welding?

#22

Use easy weld and select the handle, then all the other parts, and click join in place and animatable

This might require you to reanimate it (but there’s no other way)

#23

not sure if this was spose to happen, but i tried doing that but it failed again, so i tried deleting the griptomotor6 script and it didnt flip anymore

#24

You probably welded the rig wrong then, does it work though?

#25

yes it does work

About the firing animation, does it really matter that much if i just have it in the server script instead of the local? its alot easier just to add it in the server script for right now

#27

You can do it if you don’t care about optimization, if it’s a simple animation (three keyframes or so) then it’ll be fine i believe

#28

Alright, now since it is fps, how would i get started with the first person animations and stuff

And also if its not too difficult, how would i make the arms go up and down with the camera (in first person) kinda like most fps games do

#29

Most people use this, but I’m not sure how you’d make your own

#30

tried it out, its pretty good
although is there a way to replicate the postition of the arms and stuff

as it looks just like they are holding out a normal tool on other people screens,
also the bullets fire from the original guns spot on the server, not where the gun is on first person

#31

Didn’t think about that, not sure how you would make that though, there might be a tutorial on the devforum somewhere

#32

Alright ill get back to you when i find a tutorial on this,

Also the linked tutorial, i think its for r15 not entirely sure though.

#33

Alright so im probably going to use this

And then all i have to really look for is a way to replicate the movement to server

(edit)
Gonna just quickly make a thread asking for a replicated first person tutorial, not much going on with replication in there
