Im making a gmod swep. And the weapons position is weird

[cavel115]

Soo i was making a gmod swep. But i tried to use a downloaded gmod prop and turn it into a weapon.

The outcome of this were that the weapon spawned inside me Q_Q meh.. And how do i change the position and holding angle of the weapon ??

Heres the lua script:

there may be a problem with the model itself. have you tried with another model to see if they are in the same place? if the model is then could be something to do with the lua . but i assume the model isnt parented to the hand bones, or even has bones. also, is it the viewmodel or the worldmodel you have problems with?

[cavel115]

Its the viewmodels that i have problems is. The world model is fine and working, but yeah there is no bones at all...

[Cabbage McGravel]

you'll have to use SoftImage XSI Mod Tool 7.5 to add bones. im sure i saw a tut on adding bones a while ago - i go hunting then - heres for the Mod Tool:

:smile:

its quite complex to be honest, so you may not want to use it if it is too difficult or confusing to use.
also, do you have any screenshots of the problem, specifically the viewmodel itself?

You may possibly be able to see the viewmodel using the SWEP construction tool which lets modify viewmodels and worldmodels, as seen here: [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1032378-SWEP-Construction-Kit-developer-tool-for-modifying-viewmodels-ironsightshttp://"]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1032378-SWEP-Construction-Kit-developer-tool-for-modifying-viewmodels-ironsights[/URL]

Thank you

:smile: glad to be of service.

Can i just add, please use [noparse][lua] [/lua][/noparse] tags when you are posting code, it makes it a lot easier for us to read, thanks :smile:
