How to have weapon switching look smooth

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m having issues where when I switch weapons, it doesn’t look right, especially the sword. Problem being, the default rig spawns the weapon in the HRP, and thus before the animation players, the weapon is in your head and then moves to the animation position. If you slow the video down, the sword goes from the start pos, to the animated pos, which looks bad

ViewModel = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ViewModel"):Clone()
ViewModel.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.Camera.CFrame - Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
ViewModel.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera

GunModel = game.ReplicatedStorage.Sword:Clone()
Framework.WeldGun(GunModel)

RecoilSpring = Spring.new()
BobbleSpring = Spring.new()
SwayingSpring = Spring.new()

Framework.Equip(ViewModel, GunModel, GunModel.Animations.Hold)
		
Update = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function(deltaTime)
	Framework.Update(ViewModel, deltaTime, RecoilSpring, BobbleSpring, SwayingSpring)
end)

function Framework.Equip(viewModel, gun, hold)
	local Handle = gun.Components.Handle
	local HumanoidRootPartMotor = viewModel:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Handle
	
	gun.Parent = viewModel
	HumanoidRootPartMotor.Part1 = Handle	
	
	game:GetService("ContentProvider"):PreloadAsync({hold})
	
	local Hold = viewModel.AnimationController.Animator:LoadAnimation(hold)
	Hold:Play()
end

I preload the animation, but there’s still a period of time where the sword moves from head to arm and just looks terrible. Also unsure why changing to sword takes longer to get ready compared to the guns

Attach the motor6d of the tool to the arm both on the client and the server.
