R6 Left Shoulder point to Mouse

[loud sphinx]

Everything I've tried hasn't worked, I need help..

[wooden perch]

are you trying to make the player point their arm at the mouse?

[loud sphinx]

Yes

[wooden perch]

have you gotten anything to work or somewhat work yet?

[loud sphinx]

No, I scrapped every prototype I made, all of them only rotated the arm very very slightly

Then again I was using Cframe.Lookat

[wooden perch]

I think you can do it by modifying the target angles of the Motor6Ds in the character

i'll figure out which one rq

I'll switch to R6 to make sure

[loud sphinx]

Yeah, thats what I was doing

It's called Left Shoulder, and it's a child of Torso

[wooden perch]

yeah i was testing and it doesnt look like its letting me change the current angle

it worked on R15 but not R6 ill see if i can figure out why

[loud sphinx]

All of the resources i found were using R15
Maybe its a feature R6 lacks

[wooden perch]

oh i figured out how to do it i think

you have to change the orientation of the C0 and C1 properties

[loud sphinx]

I know, I just don't know how to make it follow the mouse

[wooden perch]

so maybe something like this?

local function toDeg(rad) return rad*180/math.pi end
local rx,ry,rz = CFrame.lookAt(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position, Mouse.Hit.Position):ToOrientation()
LeftShoulder.C0 = CFrame.new(LeftShoulder.C0.Position) * CFrame.fromOrientation(toDeg(rx),toDeg(ry),toDeg(rz))

in runservice loop

[loud sphinx]

Whars with the camera?

** You are now Level 6! **

[wooden perch]

oh yeah it should probably be your players position

[loud sphinx]

Ohkay

Ill try it tommorow

Thank you 👍

[wooden perch]

ok, the code i sent didnt work exactly but i should be able to get it working ill send once i find a working solution

you're welcome

[wooden perch]

ok i got it working this is probably a terrible solution cause i dont know how cframes work lol

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

local LeftShoulder = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Torso"):WaitForChild("Left Shoulder")

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    local x1,y1,z1 = LocalPlayer.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame:ToOrientation()
    local rx,ry,rz = CFrame.lookAt(LocalPlayer.Character.PrimaryPart.Position, Mouse.Hit.Position):ToOrientation()
    LeftShoulder.C1 = CFrame.new(LeftShoulder.C1.Position) * CFrame.fromAxisAngle(Vector3.new(0,-1,0), -math.pi/2) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(-rx - math.pi/2,-ry - math.pi/2, 0)  * CFrame.fromOrientation(x1,y1,z1)
end)

and you will probably need to play an animation that keeps the left arm still so walking and stuff doesnt affect the pointing

[loud sphinx]

Thanks dude!
