I've been trying to create new arms and weld them to the old ones and make them go in a 90 degree angle to get them to look like how they do in FPS (Halo,Destiny,COD,etc)

I've been trying over and over to get this to work but nothing I did was right maybe one of you great people can help me with this?

You do not have an explanation PLUS you cannot post the full script on the site. Read the rule book. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 10y

Its fine he did have an explanation! Hero_ic 502 — 10y

I have explained it if you can't see the green comment I made. Also there nowhere in the rule book where it says your not allowed to give "full script" while explaining it! UserOnly20Characters 890 — 10y

I got this working by parenting the cloned arms to the Camera. I also had to clone the Humanoid and Shirt from the character for the character's appearance to apply to the new arms.

You can see the arms when you look down or jump.

LocalScript in StarterGui:

01local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local Char = Player.Character
03local Cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
04 
05local Left = Char:WaitForChild("Left Arm")
06local Right = Char:WaitForChild("Right Arm")
07 
08local FakeL = Left:Clone() --Create Fake arms
09local FakeR = Right:Clone()
10 
11local RightW = Instance.new("Weld",Right) --Weld arms together
12local LeftW = Instance.new("Weld",Left)
13RightW.Part0 = Right
14RightW.Part1 = FakeR
15LeftW.Part0 = Left
16LeftW.Part1 = FakeL
17 
18local m = Instance.new("Model",Cam) --Create a model for the fake character
19m.Name = "Fake Character"
20 
21Char:WaitForChild("Shirt"):Clone().Parent = m --Cloning for character appearance
22Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):Clone().Parent =m
23 
24FakeL.Parent = m --Parent the fake arms to the fake character
25FakeR.Parent = m

Line 11,12 are pointless since the clone arm will have the same properties as the Original. UserOnly20Characters 890 — 10y
