How to make arm follow mouse in first person view?

Goal
Right now I am designing a first person shooter game. The character model I am using is R15. I want the right arm of the player to follow the mouse. The only movement that the right arm will do is moving up and down, but never side to side (because apparently, if the player tries to look left and right, the whole character model rotates).

Attempted Solutions

Right now, I have used various solutions, but it always ends in failure. Here’s a list of them:

  1. Using other solution in the forum where it all applies to third-person-shooter. It had very weird behaviours when implementing that.
  2. Adjusting the C0 of the upper right arm, but it ends up making the whole right arm goes missing.
  3. Adding animation to the right arm, but barely works. I set the animation to rotate the upper right arm by 1 degree and only plays the animation if the next arm orientation is higher or lower than the previous one.

Local Script


local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Events = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("Events")
local MouseFollowFunctionRemoteEvent = Events.MouseFollowFunctionRemoteEvent

local currentCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local rayOriginVector
local rayDirection
local raycastResult

local hitPart

local opposite
local adjacent

local raycastResultVector

local angle

local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()

raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist

raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Player.Character}

local function calculateDistance(finalPoint, startingPoint)
	
	return finalPoint - startingPoint
	
end

local function calculateAngle(opposite, adjacent)
	
	return math.atan2(opposite, adjacent)
	
end
	

local function checkMouseLocation()
	
	rayOriginVector = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Head").Position
	rayDirection = currentCamera.CFrame.LookVector * 1000
	
	raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(rayOriginVector, rayDirection , raycastParams)
	
	if raycastResult then
		
		raycastResultVector = raycastResult.Position

		adjacent = calculateDistance(raycastResultVector.X, rayOriginVector.X)
		opposite = calculateDistance(raycastResultVector.Z, rayOriginVector.Z)

		angle = calculateAngle(opposite, adjacent)

		MouseFollowFunctionRemoteEvent:FireServer(angle)
		
	end
	
end

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(checkMouseLocation)

Server Script


local MouseFollowFunctionRemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Events.MouseFollowFunctionRemoteEvent


MouseFollowFunctionRemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, angle)
	
	local Character = Player.Character
	local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
	local Animator = Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
	local RightUpperArm = Character.RightUpperArm
	
	local RightUpperArmOrientation = RightUpperArm.Orientation
	
	local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
	
	local animationTrack
	
	local Tool = Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
	
	if (angle > RightUpperArmOrientation.X) and Tool then
		
		Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://10186687345"
		
		animationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)
		animationTrack:Play()
		
	end
	
	if (angle < RightUpperArmOrientation.X) and Tool then
		
		Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://10186692841"
		
		animationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)
		animationTrack:Play()
		
	end
	

end)

The code above is for the third solution. Feel free to adjust it!

Why do you want to make the arm follow the mouse in First Person when the mouse doesnt move from the center of the screen in First Person.

How should I put this…

While it is true that the mouse doesn’t move from the center of screen, it doesn’t change the fact that the player can still change the angle of the currentCamera.

Also, whatever the mouse is pointing at is where I want it to aim.

Edit: I forgot to add that the current camera orientation follows the player’s mouse movement.

where you able to fix this problem?
I have the same issue.
