Way to fix viewmodel collision with character?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve been experimenting with viewmodels lately, and it appears that whenever i do anything (like turning all parts no collide, moving clone parent, changing collision ids, etc) i can’t fix the viewmodel’s collision.

One that worked was that I renamed the left arm and the right arm, yet it breaks the humanoid and animation. If I try to turn off the collision myself, it turns back on.

Working way to fix this maybe?

Ah yes, the problem I had until I got fixed a few months ago. What I would do is getting the physics service and add collision groups.

Script in ServerScriptService:

local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")

pcall(function()
	PhysicsService:CreateCollisionGroup("NameOfYourViewmodel")
	PhysicsService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable("ModelName", "Default", false)
end)

In the local script, I would set the collision group to make it uncollidable.

local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")

local function SetCollsionGroup(Children, Group)
	for Index = 1, #Children do
		if (Children[Index]:IsA("BasePart")) then
			PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(Children[Index], Group)
		end
		SetCollsionGroup(Children[Index]:GetChildren(), Group)
	end
end
SetCollsionGroup(viewmodel:GetChildren(), "NameOfYourViewmodel") -- the viewmodel is a model

Note:

  • The name “NameOfYourViewmodel” is a collision group. It must has the same name otherwise it won’t work.
  • The name “viewmodel” is your Viewmodel Model.
  • The name “ModelName” is the name of your viewmodel
