Hello! I would like to know what is wrong in my code, I want the night vision tool to appear in the player’s head, how can I do that?

localscript:

local tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false
local UID = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
tool = char.Head.CFrame


tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    equipped = true
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    equipped = false
end)

local isActivated = false

UID.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,isTyping)
    if equipped == true then
        print("tool equipped")
        if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.N then
            isActivated = not isActivated
            if (isActivated) then
                pcall(function()
                    local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
                    StarterGui:SetCore("TopbarEnabled", false)


                end)

                local frame = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
                print("Activated.")
                -- Config 1
                wait(.1)
                frame.Screen:FindFirstChild("NightConfig").BackgroundTransparency = 0.1
                wait(.1)
                frame.Screen:FindFirstChild("NightConfig").BackgroundTransparency = 0.15
                -- Config 2
                wait(.1)
                frame.Screen:FindFirstChild("NightConfig").BackgroundTransparency = 0.25
                wait(.1)
                frame.Screen:FindFirstChild("NightConfig").BackgroundTransparency = 0.4
                wait(.1)
                frame.Screen:FindFirstChild("NightConfig").BackgroundTransparency = 0.6 
            else    
                pcall(function()
                    local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
                    StarterGui:SetCore("TopbarEnabled", true)
                end)
                local frame = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
                frame.Screen:FindFirstChild("NightConfig").BackgroundTransparency = 1
                print("no activated.")
            end
        end
    end
end)

I believe that to make it on their head, you need to change the tool’s GripPos property. Changing it on the Y axis will make it higher, and then play around with the Z and X axis until it is infant of their eyes.

#3

Something like this?

tool.GripPos.Y = 5
tool.GripPos.X = 5

i try doing that and it doesn’t work

#4

Did the tool move at all, or did it stay in their hand?

#5

It is still in the hand, it did not move

#6

Did you change it through a script or through the properties tab? You want to do it through the properties tab.

Wait, why would you want NVGs as a tool? Personally, I’d just make them an accessory and then implement the functionality with PlayerScripts.

You could also create a simple animation, set the priority to action and relocate the tool to the player’s head and then play the animation every time it’s equipped.

A simple way would just to use an Accessory or you could turn RequiresHandle off of your tool then CFrame and Weld the mesh to the players head.
