I was wondering why isn't this script welding the player's arms to the cloned arms and cloning the left arm? If you manged to fix it please show how and what you did. I got no errors in the output.

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
02        Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
03---------------------------------------------------------
04            function MakeDisplayArms()
05---------------------------------------------------------
06                local CurrentCamera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
07                local PlayerArms = {
08                    Character["Right Arm"],
09                    Character["Left Arm"]}
10---------------------------------------------------------
11                    for i,v in pairs (PlayerArms) do
12                Character:WaitForChild(v.Name)
13                FoundClonedArms = CurrentCamera:FindFirstChild("Cloned_"..v.Name)--Finds for Cloned parts
14                if not FoundClonedArms then--Litte debounce
15                        print(v)
16                        local ClonedArms = v:Clone()
17                        ClonedArms.Parent = CurrentCamera--Hides it from everyone else
18                        ClonedArms.Name = "Cloned_"..v.Name --Renames it
19                        ClonedArms.CanCollide = true
20                        local Weld = Instance.new("Weld",v)
21                            Weld.Part0 = ClonedArms--Welds it Arms
22                            Weld.Part1 = v
23                        return ClonedArms
24                        else
25                    return FoundClonedArms
26                    end
27                end
28            end
29---------------------------------------------------------           
30           Arms = MakeDisplayArms()
31            print(Arms)
32        end)
33end)

What is this script suppose to do? This script is suppose to make a fake arm that is hidden in the CurrentCamera and that the player can see his arm when zoomed in.

I removed the debounce, because it's not needed. Then I moved the 'Return' outside the for loop. In your script, the for loop stopped after cloning the first arm. Then for the extra table, I made that one to hold the new cloned arms. So they can be returned as a table at the end of the function.

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
02        Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
03---------------------------------------------------------
04            function MakeDisplayArms()
05    wait()
06---------------------------------------------------------
07                local CurrentCamera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
08                local PlayerArms = {
09                    Character["Right Arm"],
10                    Character["Left Arm"]}
11                local ClonedArms = {}
12---------------------------------------------------------
13                for i,v in pairs (PlayerArms) do
14                    Character:WaitForChild(v.Name)
15                    local Clone = v:Clone()
16                    Clone.Parent = CurrentCamera--Hides it from everyone else
17                    Clone.Name = "Cloned_"..v.Name --Renames it
18                    Clone.CanCollide = true
19                    local Weld = Instance.new("Weld",Clone)
20                    Weld.Part0 = Clone
21                    Weld.Part1 = v
22                    ClonedArms[i] = Clone
23                end
24                return ClonedArms
25            end
26---------------------------------------------------------           
27            Arms = MakeDisplayArms()
28        end)
29end)

Now for example

1-- If you put:
2print(Arms[2].Name.." and "..Arms[1].Name)
3-- After:
4Arms = MakeDisplayArms()

It will print Left Arm and Right Arm

How did you get the arms in the table if you didn't use Table.insert? kevinnight45 550 — 10y

The for loop gives an index, which in this case is 'i'. Then at Line 22 of the script above, you can see that I put the 'Clone' in the 'ClonedArms' table at index 'i'. damagex443 325 — 10y
