Alternative for item slots
Hello is there any alternative to the item slots, for attaching, for instance of weapon, to character?
Or is there any way to create automatically such item slots?
I have a lot of animated 3D models, but without slots and it could be very time consuming to manually create , using the editor, couple of slots for each character.

Thanks and Merry Christmas

Alternatives would be to use bones (if you have them in the FBX files).
Or create it programatically through Editor Network Interface (but this is not supported at the moment, I could add it as a paid feature).
Merry Christmas!

Hello Esenthel support,

by the way - are the bone transformations locally and relative to the parent?
Is it true - in order to have a world relative bone transformation, the separate bone pos, dir, perp should be multiplied first by the parent's transformations and finally by the world transformation of the model?

Thanks and have a nice holidays

What you want is to do:
original(non animated) Skeleton SkelBone * AnimSkelBone.matrix transform
to give you world space bone after anim.
