what’s the difference between luau and normal lua?
I’m just having trouble reading through to find where I can get the ammo count so i can display it on the gui
how did you get a custom explorer?
Also, gr8 tutorial

i want to ask how i would add on more offsets to the system. i want a position for sprinting and added a cframevalue based on idle.
in update i did this:
local sprintOffset = equipOffset:Lerp(self.viewmodel.offsets.sprint.Value, self.lerpValues.sprint.Value)
in initialization:
self.lerpValues.sprint = Instance.new("NumberValue") self.lerpValues.sprint.Value = 1
and everytime i sprint:
local lowerWeapon = tweenService:Create(self.lerpValues.sprint, TweenInfo.new(0.8, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {Value = 0})
lowerWeapon:Play()
but for some reason it’s not lowering the weapon, not sure what im doing wrong, if you can help then it would be appreciated
its after all the default tweens that came with your code. and im just copying what you did for the equip offset
For people who are reading this tutorial,
I have a question
Is the rootPart the same place with the other parts like the Viewmodel arms and guns for you?
Well, as for me this is how it looks like,
Edit: I just want to know if i am doing this right
set the anchor on the rootpart to false

Someone pls help me out here
All good now,
Just a spelling problem.
Hey There! I am in the middle of your tutorial (End of part 7, to be exact) and am having trouble getting to have the gun ‘implanted straight in my face’. When I play, the gun spawns on the ground where I was configuring it, as well as the viewmodel. Why?
I have no way to know without your code. If it is not moving, you can safely assume the CFrame of the rootPart is not getting set, which means either the :update() function isn’t running, or an if statement doesn’t pass
edit: (that, or the equip function fails somewhere)
Alright I have checked everything but it still seems that it is not working. I believe it is an issue with my rigging but I am not sure. Here is everything

This means if you add a second weapon it'll automatically go under the bind 2,3, etc.

Hi! (not sure if this thread is active but might as well try)
Im currently at the part about making it aim, and im having a bit of an issue, I have the function aim running through some print statements, and its finishing them, but not weening the correct values, im not sure why
and yes I did go in the game and edit the values with the command bar
function handler:aim(toaim)
if self.disabled then return end
if not self.equipped then return end
self.aiming = toaim
game:GetService("UserInputService").MouseIconEnabled = not toaim
if toaim then
local tweeningInformation = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart,Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
tweenService:Create(self.lerpValues.aim, tweeningInformation, { Value = 1 }):Play()
else
local tweeningInformation = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart,Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
tweenService:Create(self.lerpValues.aim, tweeningInformation, { Value = 0 }):Play()
end
end
weaponRootPart is not a valid member of Model “viewmodel” Not sure what I did wrong
screw this. this stuff doesn’t even work, and there’s some steps that aren’t specified on. Spent all day trying to fix my gun, and checked everything.
Don’t blame the tutorial for user mistake.
It works perfectly for me, pay attention to the tutorial and you’ll eventually find out what you did wrong.

there’s stuff that’s not specified on, I’m new to working with motor 6ds and guns, so it’s not really helpful if you say you pulled a gun model instead of directly providing the model itself.
Do you really expect a tutorial to baby you through everything? Shibe provides an open-source place so you can get your model from there. Additionally, they provide an image to show you the structure of the gun model so you wouldn’t have to use the same weapon model.

I kinda agree with @libriumdev, I genuinely feel like Shibes skipped past a lot of important details in setting up the viewmodels etc.
By step 5 I was completely lost and was wondering why Shibes pictures has 3 WeldConstraints in his right arm model but only one in his left arm model. There are also some unspecified children to their AnimationController which I’m not sure about.
At one point I ended up abandoning the tutorial and basically copying and pasting from the place link included.
