Ragdoll collision - Developers

Hi, First time trying to create a ragdoll. In fact, it really isn't me making a ragdoll at all. I've decompiled the breen model and create a model of a sign, crudely nailed to him. Unfortunately, on recompile (using the same decompiled .qc with some filepaths changed, I can't get the collision working. I know the model has bones, I can see them in Blender and HLMV. Can anyone help me please? My .qc is this: [code]$cd "C:\Users\Nicko\Desktop\Jim's Neighbour" $modelname "Jim's Neighbour/Jims_Neighbour.mdl" $model "Jim's Neighbour" "breen_reference.smd" { flexfile "mdldecompiler_expressions.vta" { flex "upper_right" frame 2 flex "lower_right" frame 4 flex "AU42" frame 7 flexpair "AU1" 1.0 frame 8 flexpair "AU2" 1.0 frame 9 flexpair "AU4" 1.0 frame 10 flexpair "AU1AU2" 1.0 frame 11 flexpair "AU12" 1.0 frame 12 flex "AU12AU25" frame 13 flexpair "AU15" 1.0 frame 14 flexpair "AU17" 1.0 frame 15 flexpair "AU10" 1.0 frame 16 flex "AU16" frame 17 flexpair "AU6" 1.0 frame 18 flexpair "AU9" 1.0 frame 19 flexpair "AU25" 1.0 frame 20 flexpair "AU18" 1.0 frame 21 flexpair "AU22" 1.0 frame 22 flexpair "AU20" 1.0 frame 23 flex "AU32" frame 24 flex "AU24" frame 25 flex "AU38" frame 26 flex "AU31" frame 27 flexpair "AU26" 1.0 frame 28 flexpair "AU27" 1.0 frame 29 flexpair "AU26Z" 1.0 frame 30 flexpair "AU27Z" 1.0 frame 31 } eyeball righteye ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1 -1.467 -3.142 66.833 eyeball_r 1.000 4.000 pupil_r 0.630 eyeball lefteye ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1 1.246 -3.142 66.839 eyeball_l 1.000 -4.000 pupil_l 0.630 eyelid upper_right "mdldecompiler_expressions.vta" lowerer 2 -0.181700 neutral 0 0.159500 raiser 2 0.238500 split 0.1 eyeball righteye eyelid lower_right "mdldecompiler_expressions.vta" lowerer 4 -0.275800 neutral 0 -0.178400 raiser 4 -0.098200 split 0.1 eyeball righteye eyelid upper_left "mdldecompiler_expressions.vta" lowerer 5 -0.181700 neutral 0 0.159500 raiser 5 0.238500 split -0.1 eyeball lefteye eyelid lower_left "mdldecompiler_expressions.vta" lowerer 6 -0.275800 neutral 0 -0.178400 raiser 6 -0.098200 split -0.1 eyeball lefteye mouth 0 "mouth" ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1 0.000 1.000 0.000 flexcontroller eyelid right_lid_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller eyelid left_lid_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller eyelid right_lid_tightener "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller eyelid left_lid_tightener "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller eyelid right_lid_droop "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller eyelid left_lid_droop "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller eyelid right_lid_closer "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller eyelid left_lid_closer "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller eyelid half_closed "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller eyelid blink "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller brow right_inner_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller brow left_inner_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller brow right_outer_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller brow left_outer_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller brow right_lowerer "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller brow left_lowerer "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller nose right_cheek_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller nose left_cheek_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller nose wrinkler "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller nose dilator "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller mouth right_upper_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller mouth left_upper_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller mouth right_corner_puller "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller mouth left_corner_puller "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller mouth right_corner_depressor "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller mouth left_corner_depressor "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller mouth chin_raiser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme right_part "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme left_part "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme right_puckerer "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme left_puckerer "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme right_funneler "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme left_funneler "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme right_stretcher "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme left_stretcher "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme bite "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme presser "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme tightener "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme jaw_clencher "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme jaw_drop "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme right_mouth_drop "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller phoneme left_mouth_drop "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller mouth smile "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller mouth lower_lip "range" 0.000 1.000 flexcontroller head head_rightleft "range" -30.000 30.000 flexcontroller head head_updown "range" -15.000 15.000 flexcontroller head head_tilt "range" -15.000 15.000 flexcontroller eyes eyes_updown "range" -30.000 30.000 flexcontroller eyes eyes_rightleft "range" -30.000 30.000 flexcontroller body body_rightleft "range" -30.000 30.000 flexcontroller chest chest_rightleft "range" -30.000 30.000 flexcontroller head head_forwardback "range" -0.200 0.200 flexcontroller gesture gesture_updown "range" -1.000 1.000 flexcontroller gesture gesture_rightleft "range" -1.000 1.000 localvar upper_right_raiser %upper_right_raiser = ( right_lid_raiser * (( 1.000 -

Well you don't have a collision segment at all in your QC.

Sorry for sounding stupid, but all the googling I did in the last hour didn't really help me. Could you please explain more? I've learnt that I need to include $collisionjoints but when using the tempalte from the hl2 folder ragdoll.qci and including that in the .qc, it still doesn't work.

Essentially you want to just just set the collisionjoints empty. The basic values, the root bone and similar Not any actual limits though. Then you set those up in hlmv (drag the sliders for all the bones around, until you have the limits, then hit copy QC in HLMV and copypaste the new values into your QC)
