Problems with Physics Model

[KaraszKun]

Just when I was ready to give joints to my new model, this happens.

However, it does let me add joints, but if I am willing to spawn it in gmod with THAT, then it will have a spaz attack. A ragdoll with seizure syndrome is more like a "do not want" sort of thing. And I was hoping I won't have the same problem over again.

Does anybody have a solution about that? Because I think it'd look stupid when spawning to gmod.

Did you, by any chance, use your reference model as a collision model? Ragdolls require dedicated phymodels that have individual segments for each moveable bone, like this:

The phymodel SMD should not contain any of the reference model's geometry.

The bones must have 100% ownership of their respective segments. Otherwise, you'll get a kind of shrink wrap thing happening and it will cause serious problems.

Well, I did try exporting them to smd models.

I use the original model and physics as references.

And the physics itself as sequence.

But why did it look like that? Can you tell me the steps I should do to fix the problem?

This looks like it might be your problem. Your physics model must be exported as a reference SMD. All SMDs containing geometry must be exported as references. 'Sequence' is for SMDs containing animation (like idle.smd).

Here's what the two reference-type SMDs used by a ragdoll look like:

As a simple ragdoll with no face-flexes or anything, the above model's *.qc would look like this:

$cd "C:\breen\"
$modelname "breen.mdl"

$model "breen" "breen_reference.smd"

$cdmaterials "models\breen\"
$cdmaterials "models\humans\male\"

$surfaceprop "flesh"
