How To Make a Tool Dedicated VIEW MODEL in Roblox Studio | Roblox Studio Tutorials

[@StuffyDev]

For those of you that are having script issues or other issues, and can't figure it out yourself or the video doesn't help (somehow), then you can use the model below. Don't just blindly copy and paste the viewmodel, try recreating the viewmodel yourself using the video or else you won't learn anything and won't be able to expand on the viewmodel.

Where do i have to put the view model for it to work? Because when i spawn in it doesn't work.

also i can't find the gin kit anymore

[@darkbard7]

i think ppl didnt weld the gun to the viewmodel

I already knew how to create a ViewModel like this i just wanted you to explain the math behind the ViewModel instead of just saying "we are just gonna do a bunch of math"

[@Tophattttttt]

OMG IT WORKED!
i thought why does viewmodel doesn't apear?
Its easy
1.Check if code is correct
2.Check if your viewmodel is named correctly and in code is a correct name of viewmodel like: in code is ViewModel but the model named Viewmodel

[@sNIXerBars2009]

To simplify the FP (First Person) script you can say
"local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player.CameraMode = 1"
instead of that

[@Ash_Can0706]

imo its better to just change the properties in "StarterPlayer"
it just saves on a script

[@UltraGamer5543-zc2gf]

I don't even know why we needed a script for the FP go to starter player and change the camera mode
It is easier.

[@Ash_Can0706]

@@UltraGamer5543-zc2gf I said the same thing, but scripts are useful whenever you want to switch their camera on command rather than whenever they join the game.

[@beezle18397]

FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS THE FULL SCRIPT:
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ViewModel
local equipped = false
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
equipped = true
game.ReplicatedStorage.ViewModel:Clone().Parent = Camera
end)

ViewModel = Camera:FindFirstChild("ViewModel")
if ViewModel then
ViewModel:Destroy()
end
end)
local swayCF = CFrame.new()
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if player.Character.Humanoid.Health

[@maxfurbabuni]

you forgot to add this line under :
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
this goes under the line of code i have showed you:

People out there, i recommend you to put a humanoid in the Viewmodel because it just makes you're arms smoother which makes you viewmodel look 10x better. No problem!
Another solution, I had trouble with this one to but, if it does not appear but appears in the workspace then just get the model and get the position original and copy and paste from the m4a1 and paste onto you’re guns model and hands. Np! People.

[@Hiddenherpetologist]

whenever i hold the tool nothing happens but the model just appears in its original spot and i dont get a viewmodel

that means you screwed up with setting the viewmodels position to the camera, check what your view models name is along with the code underneath the runservice function

[@manemiswaa]

@@StuffyDev I also have the same problem but I literally used the Tool and StarterPlayerScripts in the model you provided. I made my own ViewModel by following the video

[@manemiswaa]

The viewmodel provided works perfectly fine tho, not mine

[@manemiswaa]

I believe that the problem is because of renaming the ViewModel itself and/or changing the ViewModel in game.ReplicatedStorage.ViewModel:Clone().Parent = Camera

[@-stars.and.raindrops-]

My viewmodel is facing the wrong way, can someone help me figure out the solution

[@solevxii]

I problem i have is that the viewmodel already shows up on screen without equipping the tool, I downloaded and used your model below and still have the same issue

[@StuffyDev]

if you used the model then its either you renamed something and then didn't update the scripts or you never ungrouped it from the folders, because I just tested the model and it works fine

@@StuffyDev Actually, I figured out the problem, I had a script from the last view mode; i had made with little experience and completely removed the old script and it works like a charm! Thank you

Is it possible to animate the viewport when i press the left mouse button?

[@IcyCola-fb2xr]

is it ok if i use only a mesh as the gun?

[@super-rocco]

is there a way to animate this using CFrame positions?

[@StuffyDev]

If you are talking about aim down sights then you can just create a transparent part near the aim part of the gun and then just align the camera to the part position. If you are talking about weapon firing and reload animation you are gonna have to use something like blender or moon animator
I hope this is the answer you were looking for 😭

It clips through walls due to CanCollide being turned off. Unfortunately I don't know of a way to make it so it doesn't clip through walls without screwing up the whole model, as if you turn CanCollide on it will mess with player movement.
