  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

the viewmodels disappear randomly then appear again

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

looked for solutions but didnt find much help

the viewmodel code: (used rokoblox5 guide)

end
