Weapons Kit - Shoulder Camera

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

Thanks for this @papa_kupcake it works nicely and I’m now eager to figure out what you did.

Are all the changes you made mentioned above?

I need to update my own branch of the WeaponsSystem which logs damage history for issuing rewards fairly.

Yes, the changes I made are mentioned above, as well as the cause of it being broken. @Thundermaker300 actually provided the main fixes. I simply applied them to Roblox’s updated Weapons System.

A fellow programmer (@AstralKingdoms) and I fixed the weapons system up a bit. See below for how to add our fix and what we changed.

  1. Place the modified WeaponsSystem in ReplicatedStorage: WeaponsSystem.rbxm (90.0 KB)
  2. Add any of the desired weapons from the original kit (list on the Weapons Kit hub page)
  3. Once the weapon is added, delete the WeaponsSystem that comes with it, as well as any scripts inside of it (don’t delete anything else).
  4. Add the following script directly inside the tool object: ServerWeaponsScript.rbxm (1.7 KB)
  5. Configure and give the weapons out as desired.

This weapons system fixes the following issues outlined in this post:

  • Shoulder script only applies while the gun is equipped (will force stop it when the gun is unequipped)
  • Camera will not break upon unequipping the tool.

There are still some bugs with it, including…

  • If the tool is deleted from the character model, the shoulder camera will be stuck until a different weapon is equipped, and the animation will be stuck until the character is reloaded. To fix this, just call Humanoid:UnequipTools() and wait a frame before deleting it.
  • If the user unequips the tool (either manually or via :UnequipTools()) while they are scoped in, their walkspeed will remain the scope walking speed (which is slower than the default 16 walking speed). This bug wasn’t discussed in this post, but I discovered it on my own.

UPDATE

I forgot to mention this in the previous post, however I got a few questions about this so I’d like to elaborate briefly.

Friendly fire/team killing

if you are using my modified kit found in my post above this one, it comes with a system of preventing same “teams” from attacking each other. You can set this up by following these steps.

  1. Create a StringValue called “Role” in every player character that you want to be factored into the team checking (no string value = no team, they can kill anyone and be killed by anyone)
  2. Set the value to anything you’d like. If the value matches other players, they cannot attack each other.

For example, if you’d like Red and Blue teams, you can use the above system by creating the “Role” StringValue in every red player and give it the value of “Red”, and same for the blue team, except with the value of “Blue” instead.

If you’d prefer to use native team objects, you’ll have to experiment with this on your own as I do not use teams in my projects.

I’m having some problems with R6 with this modified version that I didn’t had before, It works perfectly fine in R15 but when I set the game to R6 it breaks.

When I was doing my optimizations, it was never really meant for R6 being provided that this kit is from Roblox which was made for R15 (Animations and such) and we’ve only modified it to be working with R15 at the moment and preventing stuck animations, mouse locking and other issues, apologies!

I know this a little late, but have you figured out how to properly track who killed a player using this kit? There doesn’t seem to be any creator tags relating this anywhere in the kit.

Kill tracking is not included in the original kit (at least not when we forked it), and as such is not included in our modified kit. You’ll have to implement this yourself.

The creator of the weapons kit is @ROBLOX.

I’m pretty sure they’re aware of the original creator and was just asking if our forked kit contains kill tracking.

Sorry to bump but after you delete line 185, put a LocalScript in the tool and put

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local WeaponsSystem = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“WeaponsSystem”)
local weaponModule = require(WeaponsSystem:WaitForChild(“WeaponsSystem”))
local camera = workspace.Camera
local player = game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
weaponModule.camera:setEnabled(true)
weaponModule.camera.rotateCharacterWithCamera = true
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
weaponModule.camera:setEnabled(false)
weaponModule.camera.rotateCharacterWithCamera = false
camera.CameraSubject = player.Character
weaponModule.normalOffset = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
end)

You can even add 1st person in the guns using this just set the normalOffset thingy to something really less when the guns equipped I have tried it and if u wanna go in advance then you can use UserInputService to enable/disable 1st person when the user presses a key (actually ur gonna change the offset to trick the user lol). Idk how to enable scrolling the camera tho :sweat_smile:

Sorry to re-ring this, but friendly-fire isn’t working. I have made a StringValue with name “Role” and its value to “player”. The Script is inside StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts
Here is the script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local role = Instance.new("StringValue", character)
		role.Name = "Role"
		role.Value = "player"
	end)
end)

Thanks

Thanks a lot! The weapons system is such a good resource!

But, I found out a small bug: if you unequip the weapon, the character does some weird things… Not too bad, but it would be cool if someone got a fix for that one.

Tried to upload a video, but it is too big with it’s 1 minute… :unamused:

Thanks for help!
