How do I make my weapon move with my character

Help & Support

I can’t figure out how to network my gun with my character, and I have already looked at other posts but they just don’t make sense to me here’s my project PlayCanvas | HTML5 Game Engine

Hi @Caljs_28! You can make the entity a child of your camera entity (if it is a first person game).

Ok. Tell me what you mean by the whole character move. Do you mean like the parent entity player and rotate it accordingly? Or do you just want the camera and gun to move around the player and not have the player rotate? I dont think that you can rotate the player with the fps script because the camera rotation is set based on the player entity and if you made it so that the player updated to the camera position then the glitches would happen. I did this once and the player started spinning faster than the speed of light and i also tried so that the camera isnt updated but that doesent work because if the camera doesent move the player cant look around. I dont think that it really matters if the player can rotate or not becasue they are in first person so they dont see themselves and they are also a capsule so there isnt much to see. But if you really wanted to do this you might need to spend a lot of time in the api and forums.
