How to make smooth first person arms?

[dthecoolest]

Yep this is exactly it, that tutorial is really good I learnt a lot from it. This should be the answer.

However if you are interested in only the spring portion I have isolated it and created an script to play around with. (With my own CFrame rotation method which is similar yet different)

Example code here see edit 3, lots of variables to play around with and tune it:

Spring Module but for CFrames

Here made something, cool to spring up your FPS view model: It’s a local script which uses Quenty’s spring module to add a spring effect to the otherwise static view model. Before spring: After Spring: Code, insert into your starterCharacter scripts as a local script and test it out. Values for the spring will need adjusting of course. –Edit: Here’s a better working version with the dampening actually working, messed up the previous CFrame calculation. Still have no …

However @RazorWinds_Dev was also on the right track

• Find how much the camera has moved compared with the last frame

Yep the tutorial also does that. Though the tutorial uses mouse delta which also coincidentally correlates with the camera movement.

		-- Let's get some mouse movement!
		local mouseDelta = game:GetService("UserInputService"):GetMouseDelta()
		self.springs.sway:shove(Vector3.new(mouseDelta.x / 200,mouseDelta.y / 200)) --not sure if this needs deltaTime filtering
--vs my wut CFrame approach
	local differenceCF = previousGoalCFrame:ToObjectSpace(goalCFrame)
	local axis, angle = differenceCF:ToAxisAngle()
	local angularDisplacement = axis*angle
	previousGoalCFrame = goalCFrame
	local springForce = angularDisplacement*deltaSensitivity
	viewmodelSpring:Impulse(springForce)
