omfg setparenting D:

Post by Napalm »

Did you ever tell yourself that ?...
I did once :D

But I don't anymore >:D

now you don't have too either!!

basic Setparenting...

ok so you spawn you two props.. phyisics or dynamic [whichever floats your boat....]

then setname then both a differnt name like {bob] and {lawl]

thennn.....


type this in console....

ent_fire bob setparent lawl
I found a litte trick to doing this....

say the first one you name {bob} is the one your trying to setparent o the other prop...then that goes first like ent_fire >>BOB<<setparent lawl...


^^ If anyone has anything to add like advanced parenting plz post it :)
Oof.

Unfortunatly i do not have much time since im trying to stop being addicted to hl2dm and scripting and getting back into reallife.

And instead of flaming about you, just want to help... i will try to join and share a bit of my knowledge.

ent_fire prop setparent prop2 // <= Known and explained above
ent_fire prop clearparent //<= removes the parent :!:

And something cool:

ent_fire prop setparentattachment <attachment>


What does it do ? And... HAO BLADE HAO ?
Okay, always wondered how to make a Melon attach to your head without glue ?
Well, here comes the solution => setparentattachment

Example:
ent_setname melon
ent_fire melon setparent bla
ent_fire melon setparentattachment anim_attachment_head// thats the name of the attachment for the head, so dont wonder about it ( Only the player models have this attachment, dont try to parent the melon to the head of a blastdoor...)


FAQ:
Okay... the melon knows where to attach... but not to what prop ?
=> You always need to parent it to the prop first, this kinda sets its parent"target"

Are there more attachments ?

=> Yes. anim_attachment_rh and lh // right hand & left hand ( Ofc there more, but how and where to find those will probably be showed in my next post )

Wait, arnt you in SaD ?
=> True... but theres a big difference between teaching stuff (which is totally okay btw) and just uploading it for all teh noobs in teh world.


Have fun, Blade
PS: Doesnt work with classname.
PSS:
I found a litte trick to doing this....
Cant find the tricky part O.o what do you mean ?

The command "setparent" isnt just named that for the hell of it. It means: link the child-prop to a parent-prop, so order does matter.
