Ragdoll Mover ver. 2 tutorial

Here we go again! Alright, maybe NOW I can get back to animating stuff? Kind of happened to rush this one too, sorry, I hope it still does explain the features the tool has understandably.
Some other addons that were shown in the video:
Standing Pose Tool: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
Ragdoll Stretch: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
Easy Bonemerge Tool: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
Music:

Super!

[@cacohat]

It's gonna be a great year for Gmod machinimas!

[@PenolAkushari]

quite!

[@davidb4150]

You made the stand tool, Ragdoll mover and stop motion helper in Gmod, that's straight up amazing.

[@PenolAkushari]

not really, just edited them in 2021-2022 with help from Winded, who's the original creator of those tools.

[@davidb4150]

@@PenolAkushari it's still great that you contributed in making the tools better and making Gmod feel like an actual animation program.

[@Isaacfess]

Thanks for all these awesome and cool tools!

[@StupidWaluigi]

This is great and easy to use. AMAZING! I feel much more passionate for gmod now!

[@jerebielbro6074]

no entendi pero gracias a ti descubri lo que queria gracias bro eres el mejor

[@CyberAshley64]

let GMod of 2022 begin with the new features. : D

[@KinAnimationsFTW]

I give you my full consent.

Is there a way to move the ragdoll like you would with a physics gun after you use the ragdoll mover on it? Without unfreezing it ofc

[@PenolAkushari]

nope, ragdoll mover will always keep ragdoll bones in fixed positions rather than letting them flop around

[@w8uejeoeoq9qkw68]

@@PenolAkushari But can you still put the ragdoll somewhere else on the map, while saving changes to it with the ragdoll mover? Or is there another add on that does that?

[@PenolAkushari]

@@w8uejeoeoq9qkw68 would you happen to mean to move whole ragdoll somewhere else? generally if you move ragdoll by pelvis bone, which is default root bone for vanilla ragdolls at least, it will move whole ragdoll if you don't have IKs enabled. however some workshop ragdolls can have multiple root bones and ragdoll mover won't be able to move them all at once, for example, those robot ragdolls that are separated into pieces or even a pizza model.

I can create eldritch horrors

[@okwow46]

Ay Um can you help with the rag doll mover every time i press the rotator thing it turns to the mover but then I try and use middle mouse it doesn’t work

[@PenolAkushari]

will it work if you try to rebind mode switching thing to some other button? if it'll work with new button, try changing it back to middle mouse and check again just in case.
and yeah you rebind buttons to mode switching stuff in tool's menu

[@okwow46]

Yea it worked thanks

[@okwow46]

Also last question potentially how do you fix the thing when your done rotating then as soon as you stop it the entire model goes ragdoll

[@PenolAkushari]

@@okwow46 wasn't there an option checkbox to freeze the ragdoll you interact with

[@okwow46]

Thanks

[@tjtt198]

I want to do the same in the video but the game tells me: "Something is Creating Script Errors" what do i do?

[@PenolAkushari]

what does the error log say?

[@tjtt198]

I don't know how to write it

[@PenolAkushari]

@@tjtt198 you can just copy and paste it here

[@DrMlghty]

pressing r doesnt work

[@PenolAkushari]

does it not select the root bone when you have a ragdoll selected? console doesn't notify that there are some unknown commands?

[@goddesssmooth9645]

mine doesn't show the ring for editing ragdoll, and it's barely letting me move mine. Anytips?

[@PenolAkushari]

do you happen to have any addons that impact rendering stuff in any way? perhaps try disabling other addons and only keep ragdoll mover enabled to check if it's some addon conflict in the first place

[@MasonDoesSomeStuff]

@@PenolAkushari I am having the same issue and I tried it. It just doesn't want to switch to the circle

[@PenolAkushari]

@@MasonDoesSomeStuff did you happen to open ragdoll mover's tool menu and then try to switch the modes? right now tool has a thing where it will only initialize binds for switching gizmo modes if you take a look at its menu at least once, so if you picked it through binds without using q menu, it wouldn't be able to switch modes 'til you look at it.

[@MasonDoesSomeStuff]

@@PenolAkushari yea nope I always pull up the model look at the thing and then try to use that one model.

[@PenolAkushari]

@@MasonDoesSomeStuff so, how exactly, the process goes, you load into a map, spawn a model through q menu, select ragdoll mover there too, and then try to move it but it doesn't quite work out?

[@kadalramen6451]

where do u get the gun?

[@PenolAkushari]

what gun? toolgun?
