How would I go about in making Player Arms Follow the Camera

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

(Note That is this NOT a Viewmodel)

I want to try and figure out how to Get the Player’s Arms to Follow the Camera like a Viewmodel when in First Person,

---

Looking at Posts and Videos, they are either:

• How to make Arms Visible

• Cloning Arms and Following the Camera

• Viewmodel Tutorial

---

For Better Context:

When in Third Person, The Player would See this:

When The Player is Holding a Weapon, In Third Person, It will look like this:

But In First Person, The Player Arms will Follow the Camera until they Aren’t in Third Person:

I just cant seem to find a Relevant Topic on this, nor an Explanation on what to do.

So I Already know about Motor6D and with C0 and C1.

The only issue is that I’m not sure how to do the math functions nor am I able Position the Limbs properly to the Camera, Every thing I do would either:

• Flings the Player a Billion studs away.
• Limb floats in the Air away from Camera and moves further away.

This Video is from Setting the CameraSubject to the Arm After it fling away from the Character.

I have used ToObjectSpace and Inverse, But they still gave me this effect.

How should I do this?

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService") -- RunService

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- Camera
local Plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- LocalPlayer
local Char = Plr.Character -- Character

local Torso = Char:WaitForChild("Torso") -- Torso Holding the Motor6D's

local RS = Torso:WaitForChild("Right Shoulder") -- Right Arm
local LS = Torso:WaitForChild("Left Shoulder") -- Left Arm

while true do
	RunService.RenderStepped:Wait() -- This is so it doesn't spam the Output and not Crash
    Char["Right Arm"].LocalTransparencyModifier = 0; Char["Left Arm"].LocalTransparencyModifier = 0

	RS.C0 = RS.C0 -- What do I do here? This Part is where I'm confused, I Have tried a bunch of things
end

What should I do?

Maybe you could make use of the new IK solver?

@ExercitusMortem

Maybe you could make use of the new IK solver?

I’m not sure what you mean by this, can you explain?

[ExercitusMortem (Exercitus)]

Create on Roblox

Yeah, I’m more of referring to placing Player Arms to the Camera, like with viewmodels

[ExercitusMortem (Exercitus)]

Yep. You could just have it solved through IK, to constantly follow the camera lol.

Still Wondering about this.

[war44malk (Renly)]

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local character = script.Parent

local VM = game.ReplicatedStorage.ViewModelStorage.VM:Clone()
VM.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera
local leftShoulder = character.Torso["Left Shoulder"]
local rightShoulder = character.Torso["Right Shoulder"]

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm").LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
	character:FindFirstChild("Left Arm").LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
	VM:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame + workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.LookVector * 0)
	local dist = (workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position - character.Head.Position).Magnitude
	if dist < 1 then
		rightShoulder.Part0 = VM.Torso
		leftShoulder.Part0 = VM.Torso
	else
		rightShoulder.Part0 = character.Torso
		leftShoulder.Part0 = character.Torso
	end
end)

I found this in youtube, FPS from scratch
Arms follow camera in first person and act normal + default in third person

im on vacation so i can’t test it

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

So will the Arms still work as normal when doing this?

[war44malk (Renly)]

I guess, I can’t test right now.
Here’s some tutorial to figure out

Wow, That is Actually very Helpful, Thanks!
