aim down sights of gun

[system]

i found this script on the unity wiki page,

how do i change the position of my gun?

im a beginner at scripting

 `
var gun : Transform;
var nextPos = 0.0;
var nextField = 40.0;
var nextPos2 = -0.2;
var dampVelocity = 0.4;
var dampVelocity2 = 0.4;
var dampVelocity3 = 0.4;

function Update () {
   var newPos = Mathf.SmoothDamp(gun.transform.localPosition.x, nextPos, dampVelocity, .3);
   var newField = Mathf.SmoothDamp(Camera.main.fieldOfView, nextField, dampVelocity2, .3);
   var newPos2 = Mathf.SmoothDamp(gun.transform.localPosition.y, nextPos2, dampVelocity3, .3);
gun.transform.localPosition.x = newPos;
   gun.transform.localPosition.y = newPos2;
   Camera.main.fieldOfView = newField;
if (Input.GetButton("Fire2")) {
       //adjust viewpoint and gun position
       nextField = 40.0;
       nextPos = 0.0;
       nextPos2 = -0.2;
   //slow down turning and movement speed
   GetComponent(FPSWalker).speed = 1.5;
   GetComponent("MouseLook").sensitivityX = 2;
   camera.main.GetComponent("MouseLook").sensitivityX = 2;
   camera.main.GetComponent("MouseLook").sensitivityY = 2;


} else {
       //adjust viewpoint and gun position
       nextField = 60.0;
       nextPos = 0.5;
       nextPos2 = -0.4;
//speed up turning and movement speed

GetComponent(FPSWalker).speed = 6;

GetComponent(“MouseLook”).sensitivityX = 6;

camera.main.GetComponent(“MouseLook”).sensitivityX = 6;

camera.main.GetComponent(“MouseLook”).sensitivityY = 6;

`

} }

have the gun model set to .4 for X and -.5 for Y, (you can have it at whatever z position you want) when its attatched to the camera. Then to test, just right click. To change the position of the gun (becuase when i use this script, it goes too far to the left of the screen) you can when the game isnt running find your guns best position by dragging the green and red arrows for position, to a place where its like your aiming down the sights in game. Copy the X and Y positions on a piece of paper, then in script you need to change the NextPos and NextPos2 variables under the if statement to the X and Y. (NextPos is the X and NextPos2 is the Y). Save and that should work. It may wiggle a little to the left, so try and compinsate for that.

try my re-write of the script. It also allows disabling of the CrossHair when aiming and it changes weapon Stats. Hope you like it. Give credit were its due.

var gun : Transform; //Drag you Gun transform into This
 var curField = 60.0;
 private var dampVelocity2 = 0.4;
 var nextVector : Vector3; //Sights Transform
 var curVector : Vector3; //Normal Transform
 
 var curY = 234.8665; //Normal Rotation of Gun
 var nextY = 230.7; //Rotation of Gun when looking down Sights

 
 class weaponStats {
 	var curDamage : int; //Normal Weapon Damage
 	var nextDamage : int; //Sights Weapon Damage
 	var gunScript : String;
 	var mainCam : CrossHair; //Change "CrossHair" to the name of the Script or GUITexture you use for your CrossHair
 }
 var speed : float = 0.1;
 var stats : weaponStats;
 
 function Update () {
 	//Smooth Changine Vield of View of Camera
    var newField = Mathf.SmoothDamp(Camera.main.fieldOfView, curField, dampVelocity2, .3);
    Camera.main.fieldOfView = newField;
 
    if (Input.GetButton("Fire2")) { //"Fire2" is right click, can be changed
        //adjust viewpoint and gun position
        curField = 40;
        //Rotating Gun to look down Camera Perfectly
        transform.localRotation.eulerAngles = Vector3(0,nextY,0);
 
        //slow down turning and movement speed
        transform.root.GetComponent(CharacterMotor).movement.maxForwardSpeed = 2.5;
        //Adjust Gun Damage
        GetComponent(stats.gunScript).damage = stats.nextDamage;
        stats.mainCam.enabled = false;
        //Moving the gun
        transform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(transform.localPosition,nextVector, 0.3);
    } else {
        //adjust viewpoint and gun position
        curField = 60.0;
        transform.localRotation.eulerAngles = Vector3(0,curY,0);
        //speed up turning and movement speed
        transform.root.GetComponent(CharacterMotor).movement.maxForwardSpeed = 10;
        stats.mainCam.enabled = true;
        GetComponent(stats.gunScript).damage = stats.curDamage;
        transform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(transform.localPosition,curVector, speed);
    }
 }

Thanks!
