Hi

Wanted to look into this for skinned mesh ragdolls. Since they need to collide with the entire world (also terrain) I don’t see it working though. Do you think there’s any way to support that?
It’ll probably be too taxing on performance.

Hello. This is really cool! It’s been super useful for a project i’ve been working on. I’m just wondering if I could suggest a feature. Would it be possible to add support for multiple primary bones. For example, a flimsy hose hose can move around and bounce while connected to something on both sides.

#227

Could you reproduce this in a separate place file and send me it via devforum dms?

#228

You can use smartwelds for this

#229

with the newest 3.0 version, a bug started appearing for me, it happens randomly and only after a good time inside the game (only managed to find it twice where i ran the studio test for over 30 minutes by accident)

in the world i sent you for the previous test it happens, im just using a different skirt, which i can also send you if you need

other than that this module is amazing

Been trying to make a cape, but can’t get the Axis Limits to work at all. Documentation doesn’t really explain how the number range works. Anyone able to help?

#234

If you use the runtime debug menu it provides some helpful gizmos on what the axis limits are, simply enable “Draw Axis Limits” then go down to a bone in the bone tree, press edit and you can change the axis limits there

#235

Just tried this, but unsure how they actually work with the negative and positive values, would it be better to use collisions on a cape?

#236

Just think of them as infinite sized planes relative to the root part

#237

Could you try reproduce this in a seperate place and send me it via devforum dms?

Hello, I have been trying to make the module work for meshParts, everything what I have tried did not work.
Any ideas?

Adding bones into meshparts will not attach them to geometry.

Hey man, im getting a constant warning, im basically putting attributes in the meshpart, and the rootpart has the bones parented to it, but its not accesing the rootpart for it’s bones.

Could you define on this? I tried doing this in the post above and its not working.

#243

It looks in the rootpart for the bones, its attempting to find bones under the two meshes which arent there. Just put the attributes on the object called “RootPart”

#244

I modded smartbone to have some features that I used in my game and I want to share it. :smiley: (I wish these feature will be add officially in the future.)

SmartBone (MODDED).rbxm (146.4 KB)

Added features :

  • Auto add RootAttribute (If missing)
  • Stop Smartbone

EXAMPLE TO STOP SMARTBONE

local SmartBone = require(SMARTBONE_MODULE)
local RunningSmartBone

function StartSmartBone()
	if RunningSmartBone == nil then
		RunningSmartBone = SmartBone.Start()
	end
end

function StopSmartBone()
	if RunningSmartBone ~= nil then
		RunningSmartBone.Stop()
		RunningSmartBone = nil
	end
end

P.S. My code is very unoptimized and I’m so sorry If my code is hard to read XD
