Need Help Understanding How To Make ViewModel Bobbing

As the title implies I need help understanding ViewModel bobbing here are some of the questions I have

How do you do it?
How would I implement it into my code?
Whats the best way to do it (not animation)?

Here is the the basic code I made it only clones and sets the CFrame of the ViewModel nothing else.

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local uis = game.UserInputService

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local camera = workspace.Camera

local viewmodels = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ViewModels")
local gunmodel = viewmodels.Gun

local viewmodel = nil

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
	
	if character:FindFirstChild("UsingGun") then
		
		if camera:FindFirstChild("Gun") then
			
			if character.Humanoid.Health == 0  then
				if camera:FindFirstChild("Gun") then
					camera:FindFirstChild("Gun"):Destroy()
					viewmodel = nil
				end
			end
			
			if viewmodel == nil then return end
			
			viewmodel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(camera.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1.5, -2) * CFrame.Angles(0.5,0,0))
			
		else
			
			local viewModel = gunmodel:Clone()
			viewModel.Parent = camera
			viewModel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(camera.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1.5, -2) * CFrame.Angles(0.5,0,0))viewmodel = viewModel
			viewmodel = viewModel
			
		end
	else
		if camera:FindFirstChild("Gun") then
			camera:FindFirstChild("Gun"):Destroy()
			viewmodel = nil
		end
		
	end
	
end)

How would I make the bobbing and how would I implement it into my code?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Do you mean view bobbing as the player walks? Or do you mean a sway as the player moves their camera? I may already have what you need.

#3

You’re better off using math.sin() to make the viewbobbing.
Also don’t use :SetPrimaryPartCFrame() since it’s deprecated

#4

yes I have tried to use math.sin but couldn’t get it to work

#5

I want both in the system but I want to be able to understand them

For view bobbing, animation would really be your best bet. For sway however, I use Lerping for my viewmodels. This is a tool based viewmodel.

local equipped = false
local ViewModel
local camera = workspace.Camera
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
	ViewModel = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Viewmodels.MarketGardener:Clone()
	ViewModel.Parent = camera
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false
	ViewModel = camera.MarketGardener
	ViewModel:Destroy()
end)

local swayCF = CFrame.new()

RS.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health <= 0 then --Making sure not to display VM when player is dead

		if camera:FindFirstChild("MarketGardener") ~= nil then
			workspace.Camera.MarketGardener:Destroy()
		end
	end

	if equipped == true then

		if camera:FindFirstChild("MarketGardener") ~= nil then
			camera.MarketGardener:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(camera.CFrame)
			for i, v in pairs(camera.MarketGardener:GetChildren()) do
				if v:IsA("BasePart") then
					v.CanCollide = false
					v.CanQuery = false
					v.CanTouch = false
				end
			end

			local mouseDelta = UIS:GetMouseDelta()/50

			local swayX = math.clamp(mouseDelta.X, -0.05,0.05)
			local swayY = math.clamp(mouseDelta.Y, -0.05,0.05)

			swayCF = swayCF:Lerp(CFrame.new(swayX, swayY, 0), .3)  -- Adjust alpha based on preference

			camera.MarketGardener:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(camera.CFrame * swayCF)
		end
	end
end)

thank you for this help ill try to implement this into my code
