How To Create A Gun In Roblox

To assist in creating competitive combat-based experiences, several endorsed weapons are available for use in any game. The core system features projectile-based weapons with an over-the-shoulder camera, and setting the projectile speed high enough can simulate raycasting weapons like laser guns.

To use an endorsed weapon in your game:

Select one of the following weapons:

On the weapon's item page, click the green Get button and confirm the transaction.
In Roblox Studio, open the toolbox (View → Toolbox).
Select your toolbox Inventory section.

Locate the weapon and click it to add it into the place. When prompted whether to put the tool into the starter pack, click Yes if you want players to start the game with the weapon or click No to simply place the weapon in the game world as a pickup.

Each endorsed weapon contains a complete copy of the entire weapons system, including sounds and decals for all weapons.

The first time you bring in an endorsed weapon, move its WeaponsSystem folder into ServerScriptService. Later, be sure to delete the WeaponsSystem folder from any new endorsed weapons you add to avoid confusion while configuring weapon options.

System Folder Structure

The WeaponsSystem folder which controls all endorsed weapons is structured as follows:

ServerScriptService

WeaponsSystem (Folder)

Assets (Folder)

Animations (Folder) where animations used in the weapons system are placed.

Effects (Folder)

Casings (Folder) where all bullet casings are stored.

HitMarks (Folder) where all hit mark effects are stored.

Shots (Folder) where all shot effects are stored.

WeaponsSystemGui (ScreenGui) as detailed in Weapons System GUI.

Configuration (Folder) where configuration values for the weapons system are kept.

SlowZoomWalkEnabled (BoolValue) which is involved in sprint control.

SprintEnabled (BoolValue) which is involved in sprint control.

Libraries (Folder) where all other ModuleScript|ModuleScripts used in the weapons system are located.

WeaponTypes (Folder) where all weapon types are specified.

ServerWeaponsScript (Script) which ensures only one instance of the weapons system runs.

Version (IntValue)

ClientWeaponsScript (LocalScript) which ensures only one instance of the weapons system runs.

NetworkingCallbacks (ModuleScript)

WeaponData (RemoteEvent)

WeaponsSystem (ModuleScript)

Within the WeaponsSystem folder, different aspects are controlled by the following ModuleScript|ModuleScripts:

Aspect	Handled Primarily Within...
Weapons Functionality	`WeaponsSystem` `Libraries/BaseWeapon` `WeaponTypes/BulletWeapon` `WeaponTypes/BowWeapon`
Shoulder Camera (reference)	`Libraries/ShoulderCamera`
Weapons GUI (reference)	`Libraries/WeaponsGui` `Libraries/DirectionalIndicatorGuiManager` `Libraries/DamageBillboardHandler`

By default, the weapons system adds "sprint" capability to the game, so players can sprint by holding the Shift key, pushing fully up on the dynamic thumbstick (mobile), or pushing fully up on the left joystick (gamepad). If you want to disable sprinting, set SprintEnabled within WeaponsSystem/Configuration to false.

The system also reduces player speed while they're aiming/zooming, although this behavior can be disabled by setting the SlowZoomWalkEnabled boolean to false.

Modifying a Weapon

Below are all the generic descendants needed to modify a weapon or create a new weapon, along with all optional descendants to override. More specialized options are specified in Weapon Options.

Throughout this documentation, note the following object and naming rules:

When something is specified as a BasePart such as "Arrow (BasePart)," the object type just needs to inherit from BasePart, so it can be a Part, MeshPart, etc. However, if something is noted as a specific inherited type such as "Handle (Part)," that object must be a Part.
Square brackets [] refer to the object in general and the name doesn't matter. For example, [Model] refers to the weapon's Model and you can rename it to whatever makes sense.

[Weapon] (Tool) named as it should appear in player's backpack.

WeaponType (StringValue) (required) — Name of the corresponding ModuleScript in WeaponsSystem/WeaponTypes folder (BulletWeapon and BowWeapon are the only options unless you add new weapon types).

[WeaponModel] (Model) (required)

One or more BasePart|BaseParts (required) — These make up the physical weapon model and one should be set as the model's Model/PrimaryPart|PrimaryPart.

Descendants of [WeaponModel]:

TipAttachment (Attachment) (required) — Position this attachment on a weapon model BasePart where you want bullets/projectiles to come out.
HandleAttachment (Attachment) (required) — Position this attachment on a weapon model BasePart where you want the handle to be welded to.
Fired (Sound) (optional) — Plays when the weapon is fired.
Reload (Sound) (optional) — Plays when the weapon is reloaded.
Additional descendants for any Weapon Options.

Handle (Part) (required) — Part positioned where you want the player to hold the weapon.

[Configuration] (Configuration) — Holds configuration items for the weapon. Note that all items have default values, so you can omit those you don't need to change.

AmmoCapacity (IntValue) (optional) — Number of shots in each "ammo clip" before player must reload; default is 30. Note that ammo is unlimited and this does not specify how much ammo a player is carrying.

FireMode (StringValue) (optional) — Choose from either Semiautomatic (click once for each shot), Automatic (hold click to continuously fire), or Burst (click to shoot a burst of bullets depending on NumBurstShots). Default is Semiautomatic.

ShotCooldown (NumberValue) (optional) — Minimum waiting time between clicks; default is 0.1. For Automatic weapons, this is also the time between shots while holding click.

BurstShotCooldown (NumberValue) (optional) — Time between each shot in a burst; default is the value of ShotCooldown and this only matters if you specify FireMode to be Burst.

NumBurstShots (IntValue) (optional) — Number of shots per click/burst; default is 3 and this only matters if you specify FireMode to be Burst.

HitDamage (NumberValue) (optional) — Amount of damage each direct hit does; default is 10.

Weapons System GUI

The core weapons system interfaces with this system to update the GUI based on things like spread of the gun, indicators for when you get hit or hit others, etc.

In WeaponsSystem/Assets, the weapons system GUI is structured as follows:

WeaponsSystem (Folder)

Assets (Folder)

Animations (Folder)

Effects (Folder)

WeaponsSystemGui (ScreenGui) which is parented to PlayerGui when the game starts.

ScalingElements (Folder) whose elements automatically scale with the screen size.

DirectionalIndicators (Folder) where all directional indicators should go.

Crosshair (Frame) whose four child ImageLabel|ImageLabels show up when a weapon is equipped. Note that the size of this frame adjusts due to changes in weapon spread, but the size of the four children never change.

[UIAspectRatioConstraint] (UIAspectRatioConstraint)

Bottom (ImageLabel)

Left (ImageLabel)

Right (ImageLabel)

Top (ImageLabel)

HitMarker (Frame)

[UIAspectRatioConstraint] (UIAspectRatioConstraint)

HitMarkerImage (ImageLabel) which appears and then fades out when you successfully hit another player.

LargeTouchscreen (Frame) whose buttons show up on large touchscreens.

AimButton (ImageButton)

FireButton (ImageButton)

Scope (Frame)

ScopeImage (ImageLabel) which shows up when zooming on a weapon with HasScope set to true (see Modifying a Weapon).

[UIAspectRatioConstraint] (UIAspectRatioConstraint)

BottomBlack (Frame)

LeftBlack (Frame)

RightBlack (Frame)

TopBlack (Frame)

SmallTouchscreen (Frame) whose buttons show up on small touchscreens.

AimButton (ImageButton)

FireButton (ImageButton)

Create a Directional Indicator

Directional indicators are used to show the direction of something around the player's crosshair. For example, if someone shoots you, a red semi-circle can show up around your crosshair in the direction the shot came from. Other examples include indicators to show the direction of footsteps, indirect gunfire, or even environmental objects such as chests.

To create a new indicator, add it in WeaponsSystemGui/ScalingElements/DirectionalIndicators and structure it like so:

WeaponsSystemGui (ScreenGui)

ScalingElements (Folder)

DirectionalIndicators (Folder)

[Indicator] (Frame)

[UIAspectRatioConstraint] (UIAspectRatioConstraint) (required)

[ImageLabel] (ImageLabel) (required) — Image of the directional indicator. Tweaking the rotation of the image in Studio may be required unless you upload the image so that it's facing down and there's little or no blank space around it.

[UIAspectRatioConstraint] (UIAspectRatioConstraint) (required)

[Configuration] (Configuration)

DistanceLevelFromCenter (NumberValue) (optional) — Number of distance levels from the center of the screen (each distance level is about 0.03 screen scale); default is 6.

FadeTime (NumberValue) (optional) — Indicator fade time following its activation and the TimeBeforeFade time; default is 1.

Once created, you can activate an indicator via the following command inside WeaponsSystem/Libraries/WeaponsGui where indicatorName is the string name of the indicator to activate and worldPos is the world position where the directional indicator should point.

self.DirectionalIndicatorGuiManager:ActivateDirectionalIndicator(indicatorName, worldPos)

Show Damage Billboard

The damage billboard is used to show little numbers above a player's head when they are damaged. These will only show up for the player that damaged another player, not for spectating players.

Damage billboards are handled in WeaponsSystem/Libraries/DamageBillboardHandler and can be activated from any client-side code as follows, where damage is the amount of damage done and adornmentPart is the part on which to adorn the billboard, such as the victim's head.

DamageBillboardHandler:ShowDamageBillboard(damage, adornmentPart)

Shoulder Camera

The shoulder camera is a third-person camera that looks over the player's right shoulder. To customize the shoulder camera, modify the variables under the -- Configuration parameters (constants) comment in the ShoulderCamera.new() function of WeaponsSystem/Libraries/ShoulderCamera. You can modify things such as field of view, offset from player, walk speed while sprinting or zooming, etc.
