i want the player's right arm to point to where the player's mouse is. i think the best solution is to use the "right shoulder" motor6d but with my current system it looks super messed up and i can't figure this out

forgive the bad formatting, the script is in the prototype phase

--local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local tool = script.Parent
local equip_connection: RBXScriptConnection
local animation = tool:WaitForChild("freeze_right_arm")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid: Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local animator: Animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
local animation_track = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

local torso: Part = character:WaitForChild("Torso")
local right_arm: Part = character:WaitForChild("Right Arm")
local right_shoulder_m6d: Motor6D = torso:WaitForChild("Right Shoulder")

local mouse: Mouse = player:GetMouse()

local right_shoulder_initial_c0 = right_shoulder_m6d.C0

animation_track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

local function point_arm()
    
    local mouse_pos = mouse.Hit.Position
    local right_arm_pos = right_arm.Position
    
    local point_to_pos = CFrame.lookAt(right_arm_pos, mouse_pos)
    local x, y, z = point_to_pos:ToOrientation()
    
    right_shoulder_m6d.C0 = right_shoulder_initial_c0 * CFrame.Angles(x, y, z)
    
end

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    
    animation_track:Play()
    equip_connection = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(point_arm)
    
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    
    animation_track:Stop()
    if (equip_connection) then
        
        equip_connection:Disconnect()
        equip_connection = nil
        right_shoulder_m6d.C0 = right_shoulder_initial_c0
        
    end
    
end)

To do something like this it's gonna be more then just the shoulder, but out of arguments sake since I've been wrong before, have you tried other arm parts , like the hand?

it only has the arms, legs, torso and head. with rightshoulder i mean the motor6d inside torso

#

sorry if its unclear in the original message

Oh, I'm not sure given directionality this would be possible without it being funky in R6, possibly using the part directly and not the motor6D, but honestly you'd probably need a custom character

ill look into it

using the part directly makes the character tweak the hell out, it starts flinging you around
