After I heard your cries of help, I will try to show you my mediocre script.
RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if Character and Character:FindFirstChild(Tool.Name) and Character:FindFirstChild("Torso") then
local RightShoulder,= Character.Torso:WaitForChild("Right Shoulder")
local X = -(math.asin((Mouse.Origin.p - Mouse.Hit.p).unit.y))
local _, Y, Z = RightShoulder.C0:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
RightShoulder.C0 = CFrame.new(RightShoulder.C0.Position) * CFrame.Angles(X, Y, Z)
end
end)
RS = RunService, Character = the players character and Mouse is the Player:GetMouse()
Also this only works up and down, in R6 only. I belive you must find another Joint rather than “Right Shoulder”
Are you sure you are using R6 and an Tool? I forgot that the Tool variable should be the Tool the players needs to be equiped so the arm will follow the mouse. Deleting and Character:FindFirstChild(Tool.Name) will make it so no Tool is needed.
Hello,
I don’t want to use a tool for it yet, I just want it to work whenever for now before I empliment any activationl ogic. One thing to keep out on is that I want it to be togglable so when it turns off the arm returns back to normal and doesn’t break or stay in the same place
RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if Character and Character:FindFirstChild("Torso") and Activated then
local RightShoulder,= Character.Torso:WaitForChild("Right Shoulder")
local X = -(math.asin((Mouse.Origin.p - Mouse.Hit.p).unit.y))
local _, Y, Z = RightShoulder.C0:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
RightShoulder.C0 = CFrame.new(RightShoulder.C0.Position) * CFrame.Angles(X, Y, Z)
end
end)
And when you deactivate it should be something like this:
wait(2)
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local plr = Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
mouse.TargetFilter = workspace
local armOffset = char.Torso.CFrame:Inverse() * char["Right Arm"].CFrame
local armWeld = Instance.new("Weld")
armWeld.Part0 = char.Torso
armWeld.Part1 = char["Right Arm"]
armWeld.Parent = char
local lastmou
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if char and char:FindFirstChild("Torso") then
local RightShoulder = char.Torso:WaitForChild("Right Shoulder")
local X = -(math.asin((mouse.Origin.p - mouse.Hit.p).unit.y))
local _, Y, Z = RightShoulder.C0:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
RightShoulder.C0 = CFrame.new(RightShoulder.C0.Position) * CFrame.Angles(X, Y, Z)
end
end)
dude, hold yourself together man…
Anyways…
With regards to your script, your nearly there. Personally I take the approach of using angles instead of using pure cframes, this is because in your CFrame.new(point1, point2) solution you will very quickly run into issues when aiming directly up or down.
Anyways as for a solution I won’t give you any code but rather I will give you a few tips to how to get there.
A weld on an arm is offset, therefore you need to make sure to replicate that with this equation, I recommend using ToObjectSpace and ToWorldSpace.
For easier math you will want to localize the target based on the torsos CFrame.
As for the yaw and pitch of the arm, heres a great equation for that:
local yaw = math.atan2(-localizedTarget.X, -localizedTarget.Z)
local pitch = math.atan2(localizedTarget.Y, math.sqrt((localizedTarget.X ^ 2) + (localizedTarget.Z ^ 2)))
Now go learn some math!
As a side note, please don’t beg, your not going to get anywhere with that.
Read up on this stuff.
When I refer to math I’m refering to the equations which are involved with CFrame operations, terms such as Radians, Rotational Matrix and Vector should be familiar to you.
Hello,
I did some math and it seems like I got it with UpVector and RightVector but for some reason setting the c0 of the armweld would make my arm float and it’s very weird because when I rotate my character and make it fall the arm just moves back and it stays there

Hello,
No one is going to help me? I’m sorry if you think this is spamming/bumping but if I leave this post for another month I’m not going to receive a single droplet of help, let alone any useful ones
His velocity thing I got a better idea I used to help my friend when dealing with tweening on the rs. Basically we use whats called “parametric rays” basically we can define a point on a ray by
p=o+(d*t)
Where the point is described as our origin of our ray (the hip socket) and d describes our ray (hipSocket - endMouseHit) multiplied by how far along the ray we wanna go. So what we could do is like calculate how long this ray is then plug it for t. From there it’s just interpolation
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
--Weld for the cframing plus motor6ds are out of my league and animations will still work like nothing happen to it
local armWeld = Instance.new("Weld")
armWeld.Part0 = char.Torso
armWeld.Part1 = char:WaitForChild("Right Arm")
armWeld.Parent = char
--pi/2 is also known as 90 deg.(just wanted to point this out lol)
local piDiv2 = -math.pi/2
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
local CFraming = CFrame.new((char.Torso.CFrame * CFrame.new(1.5, 0.5, 0)).Position, mouse.Hit.Position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -0.5) * CFrame.Angles(piDiv2, 0, 0)
armWeld.C0 = char.Torso.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(CFraming)
end)
Ok so i found a post where someone made a R15’s player arm to face the mouse direction, so i converted it to R6 and changed some stuff about it. Now we get this.
anyways, we first get the position of where the rotation is occurring and then we give it the mouse position,
then we’ll add another -0.5 offset when it has its LookVector that way it isn’t centered,
after we’ll turn it from world space to object space.
Now I’ll point out that there’s way more efficient ways of doing this, but this is just a demo so it shouldn’t be too bad.
If you don’t want the player’s arm to go into the player’s character you can use the dot product and inverse it or something
Vectors can be formed from 2 points. If you know where your mouse will hit in world space and you know the length of the arm the end position is the solution to this problem
I’m sorry about bumping this topic, but no one pointed out that the person said that the script is specifically meant for r6, yet you used r15, so it didnt work
Sorry for the late response, but there still isn’t a solution for this yet.
local position = char.Torso:WaitForChild('Right Shoulder').C0.Position+Vector3.new(0,.5,0)
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if equipped == true then
local RightShoulder = char.Torso:WaitForChild("Right Shoulder")
local X = -(math.asin((mouse.Origin.p - mouse.Hit.p).unit.y))
local _, Y, Z = RightShoulder.C0:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
RightShoulder.C0 = CFrame.new(RightShoulder.C0.Position) * CFrame.Angles(X+math.pi/4, Y, Z+math.pi/4)
end
end)
