I'm working in update 3.5, so it won't work :/

Hmm, thanks! will take a look at it

Maybe I'm missing something, but how can most basic and most important function (parenting one object to another) not work in 3.5?

[dennis]

I can't see the bones to parent it to. But I need to parent one bone to another like a gun or assault rifle.

I thought ypu where talkong talking about thwthe editor

How will you find a position where you need to place your weapon relatively to bone without editor?

I just started a 3rd person type project and used the following code to attach a weapon to the players arm.

 

Add code to script attached to weapon. Adjust SetPosition and Setrotation as needed.

 

Script.Target = nil--entity "Player"
Script.gc = ""

function Script:Start()
self.gc = self.Target:FindChild("rHand") -- rHand is whatever name of bone
local gun = self.gc:GetPosition()

self.entity:SetParent(self.gc)
self.entity:SetPosition(gun.x-11,gun.y-2,gun.z+6)
self.entity:SetRotation(gun.x-110,gun.y,gun.z)

end

 

Didn't the Scene tree use to show the model Hierarchy? Could just drag the weapon to the bone then.
