Designing a Gun

How do I design/script a gun? I see a lot of people designing them but how do they? All the little parts in it and everything. and scripting it too.

I don't care if there are no links. I just like answers ;)

This is by far the best reference (that I know of) on how to make a fully functioning gun using raycasting.

You build the gun in a large size to start with, then you use a minimap script which you can get from free models and it resizes it to a normal weapon size.

After that, add weld scripts, put it into a tool, then go on Play Solo, then change the way your character is holding it.

For the scripts, here is an example of a basic one.

This video is a good resource for how to make a simple gun. When you design it, you could expand on it unlike what he did on the video.

Also, look in the description of the video to see a template that has the firing code in it. With some more research, you could take it further.

This is the best.

Check out the LuaLearners tutorial on How to Make a Gun.

Also, as nate said, you could check out the Wiki's tutorial on making a gun.
