Using players arms to make a viewmodel

[RocketSlither (Spooky_Gent)]

could you elaborate (I’m stupid)

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

[PANDASonNOOB (BurgerNFries)]

How can I rotate a CFrame without changing it's position?

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles()

(hopefully that works)

ok well actually that talks about rotation the camera

just do like

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

[RocketSlither (Spooky_Gent)]

[PANDASonNOOB (BurgerNFries)]

Oh wait im stupid

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

forgot that thats already a CFrame angle

[RocketSlither (Spooky_Gent)]

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

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

FPS using ViewModels (The improved version) // Parts: 2 out of 3

IMPORTANT NOTE I’ve been generally inactive on roblox and in development recently. I’ve stopped supporting this tutorial further, and any questions will probably not be answered. I recommend seeing a better tutorial such as this one by EgoMoose. Introduction I’ve previously made this tutorial about making FPS guns using ViewModels but the tutorial was not well made since it was my first one. I’ve decided to rewrite the whole tutorial in multiple parts this time (On this same topic) with this fi…

See if this forum can help.

[PANDASonNOOB (BurgerNFries)]

ok wait lemme see rq
aaaaaaaaaaaaa

[PANDASonNOOB (BurgerNFries)]

oh yeah uh

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

[RocketSlither (Spooky_Gent)]

argument 3 missing or nil has happened

[RocketSlither (Spooky_Gent)]

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

[PANDASonNOOB (BurgerNFries)]

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

[RocketSlither (Spooky_Gent)]

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

[PANDASonNOOB (BurgerNFries)]

wait what

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

(also whats the specific error?)

[RocketSlither (Spooky_Gent)]

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

[PANDASonNOOB (BurgerNFries)]

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

also

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

[RocketSlither (Spooky_Gent)]

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)

Am I just gonna have to use a view model?

[PANDASonNOOB (BurgerNFries)]

did you try the new line of code I gave?

and also, can’t you just rip the arms off and use that as the viewmodel?

[RocketSlither (Spooky_Gent)]

HOL UP:

I just realized I could disable the waist motor 6D. it still gives animation but doesn’t pull the character.
gg!

code: has bugs and tweaking needed but it works!

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Events = ReplicatedStorage.Events

local mouse = Player:GetMouse()


local UpperTorso = Character:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso")
local RightShoulder = Character:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso").RightShoulder
local Waist = Character:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso").Waist
Waist.Enabled = false
UpperTorso.CanCollide = false
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if Waist:IsA("Motor6D") then
		UpperTorso.CFrame = Camera.CFrame
	end
	for i, part in pairs(Character:GetChildren())do
		if string.match(part.Name, "Arm")or string.match(part.Name, "Hand") then
			part.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
		end
	end
end)
