Hand to playermodel

[Darrell]

Hi all;

I added the viewmodel for hands to applejack. It works perfect, but on every model they are the same.
How can I other hands to other playermodels?

Thanks,
Darrell

You need to have a "SWEP.UseHands" option that is marked as "true". Are the viewmodel hands imbedded inside the viewmodel itself? Because, that wouldn't be the right way.

[Darrell]

I'm not talking about sweps.

The hands are working, however they are all the same on every model.

When a player switeches job his hands should change to the hands of that model. But because Applejack doesn't have a player_manager.lua where the hands get connected to the models using a name, there is no way to connect the hands to the model in applejack. How could I make that possible?

[BreakinBenny]

Oh okay, I looked in the player_manager.lua in "lua/includes/modules", and it says there are two strings; AddValidModel and AddValidHands.

AddValidModel( "male01",		"models/player/Group01/male_01.mdl" )
AddValidHands( "male01",		"models/weapons/c_arms_citizen.mdl",		1,		"0000000" )

I suppose that the model name for your "Applejack" has to connect to the string. If the playermodel is named "applejack", the [B]AddValidHands[/B] need to have "applejack" and then the modelname of the hands. Those other two numbers are for skingroups and bodygroups respectively.

[Darrell]

You know that applejack is a gamemode?

That AddValidModel and AddValidHands are not possible in Applejack because it has no player_manager.lua. So you're unable to connect to hands to the model.

player_manager.lua is available in all gamemodes.

If I add player_manager.lua to it, add all the models and hands, and spawn using job, will it auto change the hands too?

You don't add it, it is used by default. It is shipped with GMod by default. If the gamemode is not using the correct hooks, that's its problem.

Will the hands now sync with it's playermodel?

[Rubat]

Replace

			local oldhands = ply:GetHands()
				if ( IsValid( oldhands ) ) then oldhands:Remove() end

			local hands = ents.Create( "gmod_hands" )
				if ( IsValid( hands ) ) then
					ply:SetHands( hands )
					hands:SetOwner( ply )

					-- Which hands should we use?
					local cl_playermodel = ply:GetInfo( "cl_playermodel" )
					local info = player_manager.TranslatePlayerHands( cl_playermodel )
						if ( info ) then
							hands:SetModel( info.model )
							hands:SetSkin( info.skin )
							hands:SetBodyGroups( info.body )
						end

					-- Attach them to the viewmodel
					local vm = ply:GetViewModel( 0 )
					hands:AttachToViewmodel( vm )

					vm:DeleteOnRemove( hands )
					ply:DeleteOnRemove( hands )

					hands:Spawn()
				end

with

ply:SetupHands()

[Darrell]

Awesome, but the handmodels doesn't change to it's job model. How can I do that?

[Rubat]

Call ply:SetupHands() after the player model has changed.

[Darrell]

This works, but I don't have to tell you that.

Dude you're awesome. Thanks you so much!
