Weapons Kit - Your Experience Using It

[MapleMarvel]

I was thinking about using the Roblox Weapons Kit, and for those who have used it, I was wondering what your experience is.

• Do you recommend using it?
• Any problems or issues?
• Is it still being updated?
• Is there anyone to contact for support?

There are some pros and cons about them. However, I’d recommend using another model that fits your liking for its camera, complexity, building, etc.

There are a couple of fixes to the Weapons Kit that will help new users.

1. ReplicatedStorage
To get the kit working after copying to ReplicatedStorage, please read this post:

Roblox's Official "Weapons Kit" breaks when placing weapons system into ReplicatedStorage

Hey, I am attempting to use Roblox’s official Weapons Kit, which is available from the Toolbox. Here’s the page explaining its usage on the Roblox Developer website. I believe that these were added as part of Roblox’s recently-released Battle Royale kit, but are also intended for use separate from this kit. These premade Tools work as expected when being either picked up by the player, or when they are placed in the StarterPack. They also work as expected when tweaking various variables or when…

2. Shoulder Camera
To make the shoulder camera only active while the player is using the weapon, please read this post:

Weapons Kit - Shoulder Camera

I’m using the Weapons Kit provided on the developer wiki - specifically the auto rifle - for a minigame. The problem is the shoulder camera effect is sticking around after the player dies, as well as before the item is even equipped. My goal here is to fix it so that it only applies while they are holding the item, or just outright remove it. The wiki page has a lot of info on settings it has, however there is apparently no setting to just disable it. Line 185 of the WeaponsSystem script has t…

After personal experience, I would recommend creating your own weapons over using Roblox’s weapon kit. Their weapon kit is polished and has a lot of settings and other fancy stuff, however you can’t modify it much compared to just making your own weapon systems. Any little change you want to make can easily break the entire system if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing, and there’s no documentation for any of the API used in it. Not to mention that it forces you into 3rd person with a shoulder camera - which has no setting to turn off - and you have to go through a painful amount of work to turn it off without breaking the entire gun script. The kit overall isn’t very developer-friendly to work with, and if you’re not making a third-person shooter game I would highly suggest not using it.

Is there anyone to contact for support?

Other than the devforum (asking others who have used it for help) no.
