How would I make a players arm move depending on the y axis of the mouse? (R6)

So I have been looking for a solution to this for a year now, and I still don’t get how this is done. Some use trigonometry for this, which I barley understand. I’m also not the best
with cFrame. I have found many topics similar to this but still will not conclude a full
solution to this that is easy for me to comprehend.

So anyways, as an example in text, the r6 arm would move up or down depending on the
position of the mouse in the y axis. The higher it is, the more it would rotate up. The lower the y axis is, the lower the arms would rotate. A picture example will be located below.

Example Picture

I saw someone post this which is what I want.

Please help,

John.

If you run this snippet of code in a local script in StarterCharacterScripts it should get you what you need, sorry that you had to wait a year for this.

plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
repeat
	wait()
until plr.Character
char = plr.Character
m = plr:GetMouse()
local IsEquipped = false


local origRightS = char:WaitForChild("Torso"):WaitForChild("Right Shoulder").C0
local origLeftS = char:WaitForChild("Torso"):WaitForChild("Left Shoulder").C0
local origNeck = char:WaitForChild("Torso"):WaitForChild("Neck").C0
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local c = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function(delta)
	
	
	

	if IsEquipped == true then
		
			if char.Torso:FindFirstChild("Right Shoulder") then
				char.Torso["Right Shoulder"].C0 = char.Torso["Right Shoulder"].C0:Lerp(CFrame.new(1, .65, 0) * CFrame.Angles(-math.asin((m.Origin.p - m.Hit.p).unit.y), 1.55, 0, 0) , 0.1)
			end
			if char.Torso:FindFirstChild("Left Shoulder") then
				char.Torso["Left Shoulder"].C0 = char.Torso["Left Shoulder"].C0:Lerp(CFrame.new(-1, .65, 0) * CFrame.Angles(-math.asin((m.Origin.p - m.Hit.p).unit.y), -1.55, 0, 0) , 0.1)
			end
			if char.Torso:FindFirstChild("Neck") then
				char.Torso["Neck"].C0 = char.Torso["Neck"].C0:Lerp(CFrame.new(0, 1, 0) * CFrame.Angles(-math.asin((m.Origin.p - m.Hit.p).unit.y) + 1.55, 3.15, 0), 0.2)
			end
		
		else
		
			if char.Torso:FindFirstChild("Right Shoulder") then
				char.Torso["Right Shoulder"].C0 = char.Torso["Right Shoulder"].C0:lerp(origRightS, 0.1)
			end
		

			if char.Torso:FindFirstChild("Left Shoulder") then
				char.Torso["Left Shoulder"].C0 = char.Torso["Left Shoulder"].C0:lerp(origLeftS, 0.1)
			end

		

			if char.Torso:FindFirstChild("Neck") then
				char.Torso["Neck"].C0 = char.Torso["Neck"].C0:lerp(origNeck, 0.1)
			end

		
	end
	
	
	
end)


char.ChildAdded:Connect(function(instance)
	for i,v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Tool") then
			if v:FindFirstChild("HoldArmsStill") then
				
			else
				IsEquipped = true
				
			end
		end
	end
end)

char.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(instance)
	if instance:IsA("Tool") then
		IsEquipped = false
	end
end)



Please ignore any weird variables, this was for my other game and I had to delete a few things to make it work for you

	end



end)

Is possible to make it show for all clients? (Fire one RemoteEvent from local into server side)

create a script not localscript and place it in ServerScriptService then paste this code here:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Look.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, neckCFrame, RsCFrame, LsCFrame)
	for key, value in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
		if value ~= player then
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Look:FireClient(value, player, neckCFrame, RsCFrame, LsCFrame)
		end
	end
end)
