Making an entity spawn as a ragdoll

[Staneh]

Hey guys, i'm making a entity, but it wont spawn correctly ingame, when I spawn, the ragdoll is stiff, you cant pick it up.. Is there any possible way to make the entity recognise its a ragdoll, and spawn correctly? Heres my init.lua file

[lua]AddCSLuaFile( "cl_init.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
include( 'shared.lua' )

function ENT:SpawnFunction( ply, tr )

local SpawnPos = tr.HitPos + tr.HitNormal * 16

local ent = ents.Create( "sent_kitty" )
ent:SetPos( SpawnPos )
ent:Spawn()
ent:Activate()

end

function ENT:Initialize()

self.Entity:SetModel( "models/feline.mdl" )

local phys = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()
if (phys:IsValid()) then
phys:Sleep()
end
end

Delay = 0
function ENT:Touch( ply )
if (CurTime() >= Delay) then
ent:EmitSound("Gravity Cat.mp3", 500, 200)
Delay = CurTime() + 24
end
end[/lua]

SEnts can't be ragdolls, you can try and link your SEnt to a prop_ragdoll.

How would you do that?

Basically, you spawn a regular ragdoll, and then make an invisible entity which controls it. Depends on what you want your ragdoll to do.

I want it to hover above my head.

Can you use [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Constraint.Weld]Constraint.Weld [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b] on individual ragdoll bones? If so couldn't you just create a ragdoll with a bone or multiple bones welded to the entity?

You could if you wanted it to turn out badly.

I'd do it by finding the bones and applying force/setting position to player/parenting some of them, depending on what I want. Too bad that I don't know how to find ragdoll bones.
