Merge prop and ragdoll/NPC bone - Help

I wanna know how to merge glasses or another props like hats etc. with bone of ragdoll and NPC. I tried to use bone merger but if prop has no attachmets it's no use like with glasses on screenshot - they has no attachments to this ragdoll. When I tried to use multiparent tool it merge glasses to the pelvis of this ragdoll not to the head, so I guess it's a tool for props that does not work with ragdolls in that way. Weld is useles - prop moving around the head and it does not work with NPC's. I even tried this method: 1. spawn NPC 2. write to console: ent_setname *stupidnamehere* 3. aim to the thing you want weld to NPC 4. write to console: ent_fire !picker setparent *thatstupidnameyouwrotetothe*stupidnameh•ere**(**) 5. done. it's welded. But it weld prop to the pelvis... Maybe I missed some tool that can work in that way? [url=http://postimg.org/image/s9c1dytzp/][img]http://s2.postimg.org/s9c1dytzp/gm_flatgrass0002.jpg[/img][/url]

Your only option is to use SetParentAttachment. If it doesn't help, you are fucked.

Point for glasses on a head and point on a glasses but it's unnamed. What shall I do with this?

Lua code: [code]a:SetParent( b ) a:Fire( "SetParentAttachment", "glasses" ) [/code] a is your glasses, b is your ragdoll. This is essentially what you gotta do. Maybe additionally a:SetLocalAngles and a:SetLocalPos I really should make a tool for parent attachment too, but i am just too lazy for now.

I will try to throw together a tool for this next weekend, no promises.

The following is not a great way of doing it but it should do the job, assuming you're on single-player or the host of a listen-server. Spawn the ragdoll, look at it and put this in console: lua_run modela=ply:GetEyeTraceNoCursor().Entity Do the same for the glasses but use modelb instead, then put this in console. lua_run modelb:SetParent(modela) modelb:Fire( "SetParentAttachment", "glasses" )

Replace ply with Entity(1)

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;44661036]Replace ply with Entity(1)[/QUOTE] Ok. The 1 and the 2 command done well but the last one does not work [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HCO7WKM.png[/IMG]

Oh whoops, forgot ply wasn't defined. You didn't repeat the command on the glasses, while changing the command slightly to say modelb instead of modela.

You gotta use modelb:SetLocalAngles(Angle(0,0,0)) and modelb:SetLocalPos(Vector(0,0,0)) replace the 0s until you get proper result.

Great!!! It works with ragdolls and NPC/animated props. The right attachment for the glasses was "Postal_Dude_L0.Glasses" not "glasses". Also it have a glitch with some fast animations - glasses moves away from the head, but this is unfixeable problem I guess. Thank you guys for your help. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DgRSnL4.jpg[/IMG]
