Gun that rotates with camera?

Asked 498 views1 answers

My game is locked in first person and I'm trying to make my gun "attached" to the player's camera. Tools rotate about the Y axis just fine, however if you look up or down the tool stays in place.

local weld = char["Right Arm"]:WaitForChild("RightGrip")

local Target = cam.CoordinateFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -100)

local headpos = (char["Torso"].CFrame * CFrame.new(1,2,0)).p

weld.C1 = ((CFrame.new(headpos, Target.p) - headpos):inverse()) * (char["Torso"].CFrame - char["Torso"].Position)

weld.C0 = cam.CFrame

This is my closest attempt, however the tool is moving on the wrong axes and I cant figure out how to adjust it properly

The following script creates a function that runs before rendering each frame. It then includes making your arms, head, and torso rotate depending on where your cursor is pointing. Let me know if this helps!

-- This is open source code, probably written by Sharksie
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character

if not Character then
	Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
	Character = Player.Character
end

local Torso = Character:WaitForChild'Torso'
local Neck = Torso:WaitForChild("Neck")
local LeftShoulder = Torso:WaitForChild("Left Shoulder")
local RightShoulder = Torso:WaitForChild("Right Shoulder")
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
local HMR = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local RC0 = CFrame.new(1, .5, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, -1, 0, 0)
local RC1 = CFrame.new(-.5, .5, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, -1, 0, 0)

local LC0 = CFrame.new(-1, .5, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0)
local LC1 = CFrame.new(.5, .5, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0)

local NeckC0 = Neck.C0
local NeckC1 = Neck.C1

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
	local cf = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.lookVector.Y
	
	local Kek = CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.asin(Mouse.Origin.lookVector.Y))
	RightShoulder.C1 = RC1 * Kek:inverse()
	LeftShoulder.C1 = LC1 * Kek
	
	Neck.C0 = NeckC0 * CFrame.Angles(math.asin(Mouse.Origin.lookVector.Y), 0, 0):inverse()
	HMR.CFrame = CFrame.new(HMR.Position, Vector3.new(Mouse.Hit.p.x, HMR.Position.Y, Mouse.Hit.p.z))
end)
