Snappy Viewmodels

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So a week ago I wrote this simple VM code because I wanted to experiment with FPS type assets however, as seen in the video the viewmodel seems to be pretty snappy and I need it to be smoothly welded to the players camera.

here is my code:

local vem = "VEM"

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local viewmodel = game.ReplicatedStorage.VM:Clone()
	viewmodel.Parent = workspace.Camera
	local weapon = game.ReplicatedStorage.Models[script.Parent.Name]:Clone()
	weapon.Parent = viewmodel

	local char = viewmodel:WaitForChild("Torso")

	local M6D = Instance.new("Motor6D", char)
	M6D.Name = "ToolGrip"

	char.ToolGrip.Part0 = char
	char.ToolGrip.Part1 = viewmodel[script.Parent.Name].BodyAttach

	local limbs = viewmodel:GetDescendants()
	for i,v in pairs(limbs)do
		if v:IsA("BasePart")then do
				PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(v, vem)
			end
		end
	end

	local humanoid = viewmodel:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
	local Id = humanoid:LoadAnimation(viewmodel[script.Parent.Name]:WaitForChild('Hold'))

Id:Play()

game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function()
		viewmodel.Head.CFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame
	end)
end)

any help very is appreciated

Use renderstepped as it runs before the camera updates to guarantee that the model is always in front of the camera.

try using .RenderStepped instead of .Stepped

do you mean like this?

local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
local vem = "VEM"

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local viewmodel = game.ReplicatedStorage.VM:Clone()
	viewmodel.Parent = workspace.Camera
	local weapon = game.ReplicatedStorage.Models[script.Parent.Name]:Clone()
	weapon.Parent = viewmodel
game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function()

		local char = viewmodel:WaitForChild("Torso")

		local M6D = Instance.new("Motor6D", char)
		M6D.Name = "ToolGrip"

		char.ToolGrip.Part0 = char
		char.ToolGrip.Part1 = viewmodel[script.Parent.Name].BodyAttach

		local limbs = viewmodel:GetDescendants()
		for i,v in pairs(limbs)do
			if v:IsA("BasePart")then do
					PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(v, vem)
				end
			end
		end

		local humanoid = viewmodel:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
		local Id = humanoid:LoadAnimation(viewmodel[script.Parent.Name]:WaitForChild('Hold'))

		Id:Play()
		viewmodel.Head.CFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame
	end)
end)
