Using players arms to make a viewmodel

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#6

Its a first person game. Idc if the arms are of the torso I just want them at the sides of the camera.

sorry if this came off agressive

#7

I know, but I don’t think Motor6Ds likes their c0 and c1 disconnected

#8

well then how will I do this then? I just don’t want to make 2 animations for different models.

#9

Try changing the rotation (and only the rotation) part of the CFrame to the rotation part of the CFrame of the camera

#10

could you elaborate (I’m stupid)

also, wouldn’t that just move the whole character?

#11

(hopefully that works)

ok well actually that talks about rotation the camera

just do like

RightShoulder.C0 = RightShoulder.C0 * CFrame.Angles(Camera.CFrame.Rotation)

#13

Oh wait im stupid

RightShoulder.C0 = RightShoulder.C0 * Camera.CFrame.Rotation

forgot that thats already a CFrame angle

I don’t think that will move it to the camera.

also, when I go into first person it just spins.

#15

See if this forum can help.

#16

ok wait lemme see rq
aaaaaaaaaaaaa

#17

oh yeah uh

RightShoulder.C0 = RightShoulder.C0.Position + CFrame.Angles(Camera.CFrame.Rotation)
#18

argument 3 missing or nil has happened

#19

I don’t want to clone the arms, I want to use the arms.

#20

yea no i made the mistake again, remove the “CFrame.Angles”

#21

invalid argument. I’m messing with values to see If I can get it to work

I do wanna say though. I see what you are trying to do but when looking up in first person the tool comes very close to the screen

#22

wait what

no like RightShoulder.C0 = RightShoulder.C0.Position + Camera.CFrame.Rotation

(also whats the specific error?)

#23

that’s what I have

also I already have code that makes the arms face the same direction as the camera. I just need them to line up

I need the arms to be a bit more back

ok what is the code that you’re using rn?

also

RightShoulder.C0 = CFrame.new(RightShoulder.C0.Position) + Camera.CFrame.Rotation```

server side: (so everyone can see there are looking up)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ArmsEvent = ReplicatedStorage.ArmsEvent

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
  player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
    local RenderService = game:GetService("RunService")
    local ToolMotor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
    ToolMotor.Parent = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    local mousePosition = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)

    ArmsEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, position)
      if plr == player then
        mousePosition = position
      end
    end)

	local RightShoulder, LeftShoulder, ToolGrip = character.UpperTorso:WaitForChild("RightShoulder"), character.UpperTorso:WaitForChild("LeftShoulder"), ToolMotor

    RenderService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
      local X = -(math.asin((character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - mousePosition).unit.y))

      local _, Y, Z = RightShoulder.C0:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
      local OldRightC0 = RightShoulder.C0
      RightShoulder.C0 = CFrame.new(RightShoulder.C0.Position) * CFrame.Angles(X, Y, Z)
      local Difference = OldRightC0.Position - RightShoulder.C0.Position

      local _, Y, Z = ToolGrip.C0:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
      ToolGrip.C0 = CFrame.new(ToolGrip.C0.Position) * CFrame.Angles(X, Y, Z)

      local _, Y, Z = LeftShoulder.C0:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
      LeftShoulder.C0 = CFrame.new(LeftShoulder.C0.Position) * CFrame.Angles(X, Y, Z)
    end)
  end)
end)
