Would anyone know how to make a player view like this?

The arms track the camera or mouse position, as well as play any animations that the player plays as well, how would I make this? I've been trying to find the solution for hours as well as create it myself to no success.

I wondered at first if they're visible in first person, then track the Camera's Y rotation and position, but trying that made my player fly out of the map.

Its probably a view model. I have never made one but just research the term "View Model" and you'll find answers

i've been trying that to no result, all of them just sorta tell me to make it configured specifically to guns

Well you'll have to understand how they do i t with guns and then change it.

Just make a view model for guns and then with your knowledge you can try making one that you need

yea lowkey u dont really have a choice you kinda have to do what tiaundich said and learn how they work. The gun fps system ones are a bit overkill if you are just making a simple flashlight animation. It basically works like this:

1.You use preRender to position the viewmodel before the frame is drawn.
2.then u play animations on that viewmodel for like turning on/off ur light etc so that when the the next frame is drawn it looks like ur moving ur hands.

how should i make the viewmodel and how do i use the prerender? i've never heard of prerender

Its best to research things like such first before asking.

Here are the docs for it: https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/RunService#PreRender

And I found a tutorial for view models: https://youtu.be/tolnsCxgkpk?si=V9ptZa28Iz7AXZ65

You'll just have to use ```lua
Camera.ViewModel.PrimaryPart.CFrame = Camera.CFrame

Instead of the SetPrimaryPartCFrame method because it is depracted.

Just ignore the gun and try to get the view model working first. Then you can try animating the arms.

and legs if you want
