Example say your character is just walking around with the gun the default cam and when you press q or rightmouse click your character holds up the gun like there aiming then you see a cross hair. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this or were to learn.

For the zooming itself, the simplest way is to just decrease the Field of View:
LocalScript in Tool
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- get the camera
camera.FieldOfView = 50 -- (default 70) makes you zoom in
As for raising your arms, you'll want to use an animation. Here's the relevant page from the wiki: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Animations
And for having this all happen when you perform an action, check out the UserInputService: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/UserInputService
Well for the zoom you can slowly change the field of view.
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local fov = camera.FieldOfView
function aim()
repeat fov = fov - 1
wait(0.1)
until fov = 40
end
script.Parent.Mouse3Down:connect(aim)
for the arms moving, depending on the player type(R15 or R6) you can use animations or CFrame.
