Trying to create clientside scripted bonemerge

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I’m trying to make a nice little client sided scripted version of EF_BONEMERGE, the benefit of it also being scripted and easy to modify. However, I just can’t get this to work.
The first time I run this I get nothing (although the code does run, I’ve hooked up a print to it before) but if I run it a second time gmod crashes.
Can someone explain/correct my mistakes please?

[lua]
FakeModel=ClientsideModel(“models/Police.mdl”, RENDERGROUP_OPAQUE)

PlayerTarget=LocalPlayer()
FakeModel:SetParent(PlayerTarget)
function FakeClientBones()
FakeModel:SetupBones()
FakeModel:DrawModel()

for i=1, 128 do
local PlrBonePos,PlrBoneAng=PlayerTarget:GetBonePosition(PlayerTarget:LookupBone(i))
local MdlBonePos,MdlBoneAng=FakeModel:GetBonePosition(FakeModel:LookupBone(i))

FakeModel:SetBonePosition(i,PlrBonePos,PlrBoneAng)

end

end
PlayerTarget.BuildBonePositions=FakeClientBones
[/lua]

Noone will see this model if you are doing a clientside model and parenting it LocalPlayer.

Is this what you are attempting to do?

#3

Yes, that is it. Later on I’ll do stuff like network it with the server and use bone matrices to create a sort of “ingame headhack”.

#4

You can use AddEffects(EF_BONEMERGE)

#5

Like I said, I’m trying to create a clientside scripted version I can easily modify for my purposes.

#6

I don’t suppose I could get a reply please? This conundrum is really peculiar.

#7

forgive me if I speak out of ignorance, because I haven’t work with BuildBonePositions much, but doesn’t that function require a couple of variables to be passed in?

ENT:BuildBonePositions( Integer NumBones, Integer NumPhysBones )

Hm, never noticed it.
However, something I did find on the wiki:

I tried calling ClientSideModel in the BuildBonePositions code, but it wasn’t having any of it.
