EasyFirstPerson: Drag-and-drop first person view models!

Have you ever tried to make one of those nice first person view model systems complete with camera sway, bobbing when you walk, etc. but didn’t have the programming knowledge to do so? Or maybe you know how to do it, but don’t want to have to write up custom code from scratch. Either way, EasyFirstPerson is the system for you. Just add the script and watch as all the tools in your game now have that satisfying First-Person-Shooter view. Not sure what I’m talking about? See the example below. R…

i saw Ego Moose’s tutorial countless times, sadly it uses methoods that fail with animations and make things harder, anyways thx for help

[Bikereh (green_lady)]

this isnt ego moose its a different tutorial

[0786ideal (ideal)]

i’ll definitevely look at it, thx, any other ideas?

[Bikereh (green_lady)]

to be honest, from the question you asked, i’m assuming your new to scripting. viewmodels are a little harder than other things, if you really want to though, there are a bunch of tutorials

Yea only 7 years heh, i look for most optimized and not messy way, and with all resources there are it’s still hard to find something that i need, anyways thx for help

LOL, my bad bro. This is how I do them. So first I make custom tools, basically how this guy does it.

How to animate Tool Parts (Guns, Knifes etc.)

2022/12/13 Update: Can’t believe this thread is 3 years old, I have updated the majority content of this tutorial (including the code) and improved readability. Hello everyone! I am Headstackk. I have developed a Weapon Framework used in my game Weaponry. In this post, I will explain how to get started with animating tools, especially weapons on Roblox. In most of the Roblox weapon frameworks (Excluding advanced shooter frameworks such as Phantom Forces), I observed that they usually only ada…

Then, I make my viewmodels, its really simple just arms and a humanoid root part. Make the root part the same size as a roblox character bc it makes it easier to understand if you want to animate. Now, jsut renderstepped loop and position the root of the viewmodel to the camera cframe, but add like -2.5 on the y or smthn, i forgot how it is exactly, but its a number ending with .5 or .0. NOW, you can attach the tools the exact same way you attack the custom tools, ITS VERRY SIMPLE. its not all extra, just another joint for the tool. Then, you play the animations on the viewmodel with a animation controller. pretty simple, and has non of the extra junk a lot of people add. you can ofcourse have some sway and stuff in the viewmodel to make it look better.

ALSO: the viewmodel im talking abt would be the same size as a roblox avatrs humanoid rioot and arms. not those long arms. the long arms DO work, but you might have to make custom aniamtion for the viewmodel, and we dont wanna do that do we?

sorry again for calliong u a noobie ive been at it for 6 years now. your question was a single sentence, js like those people who enter studio for the first time, and ask how to remake adopt me LOL

[0786ideal (ideal)]

No problem, usually those 1 single sentences are at least seen by someone to help, making something for the first time even with knowledge is a challenge usually, soo thx for your help, i’ll try your methood
