Hey,

Ive a problem with translating points/bones. Ive made an item with enum weapon. I added a skeleton to weapon with 2 points and 1 bone.

When i try to use this:


The only thing that moves is the point and not the mesh. When i try to move a bone i get same result.

Is there another solution to translate a mesh based on 2 points?


Thnx,

This is what I am using.

Thnx, yes that works indeed but its not perfectly aligned with the hand.. Do i have to change the HandR point? or is there an easier way?

When i have different kind of weapons the size will change also. Then the only solution i can think off is the edit the hand->pos to make it work with more then 1 weapon.

I haven't figured out how to align the mesh to a certain point instead of just the center of the mesh, but you can offset the position by replacing hand->pos with the line below and adjusting the multipliers to your liking.


For multiple weapons, you would just need to change the multipliers based upon which weapon is currently being held.

Ah thnx ill try this out

I usually just move the mesh in Mesh Editor so the "handle" is located at Vec(0,0,0) position.
You can always make a skeleton point in the weapon skeleton, place the point on the mesh handle location, then in the codes draw the mesh translated by the skeleton handle point of the weapon.

Yes that was my first choice but i will try both.

That's what I was thinking of doing; sounds easiest.

Couldn't quite figure this out when I was trying to do it earlier...

Yes im trying this right now, but i cant get it to work what i want, for a handgun its not really needed... but for a rifle u need 2 hands and im not sure how to handle it like that every weapon is in the correct position...

Ok well when i try to translate the gun at skeleton point of the weapon, but thats not working... the weapon stays in the center of the Human hand bone point.
