Description
What is it?
Ragdoll Mover is a tool that allows you to move ragdolls in a similar way to 3D programs. This also includes IK chains.

Why should I use it?
If you are fine with physgun, then maybe you don't need to use this. But here's a few key features of why you might want to use this in certain situations:
-You can move ragdolls without limitations from the ragdoll physics; you can twist the ragdoll's head upside down without problems.
-When you rotate a bone, it's child bones will rotate with it. So you can rotate the ragdoll's arm like you've welded the lower arm and hand to the upper arm. (Except, as mentioned, without physical limitations.)
-By moving the ragdoll's root bone (usually the pelvis), you can move the entire ragdoll like it's a statue!
-Contrary to bones moving relatively to their parent bones, there's IK chains. IK chains are used to keep certain bones in an exact position while moving, for example, the rest of the body. This is most commonly used with legs and arms.

I'm still confused
Then watch the video! It might clear things up.

Are you going to keep updating this?
Current version of the tool seems to be doing most of the things I'd like it to do, but in case of any bugs showing up, those would be fixed up.

If any bugs occur, report them here.

Or, you can report them here: https://github.com/Winded/RagdollMover/issues

There's also a possibility to translate Ragdoll Mover through GMod's resource files, in case if you'd like to help translate the tool in your language, you can help! You can fork ragdoll mover github repo and then add translations there. If you submit a pull request, write either here or contact PenolAkushari to check and update it to the workshop.

Is There a Way to Rotate Bones by Entering an Exact Value (in the Tools Menu at Least)?

so i need help, i have it downloaded and it used to be fine but now when i use the rotate function its really choppy and i cant see where it ended until i stop holding it

Ah alright :steamthumbsup:
For now it seems like enabling fully visible disks helps.
PenolAkushari  [author] 23 Nov @ 3:41am 
all of the gizmos only exist as 2D planes, so you have to make sure to grab them from their sides, as math doesn't work too well if you are right on its "plane", if that makes sense.

next update would make it easier to grab arrows, at least, but doing that for discs may require some different way of handling ray intersections and etc and i'm not quite feeling like doing that. though i'd assume it isn't impossible

Something I would suggest is allow the mouse to drag any part of the ring and have it rotate, rather than having to feel around until you find the part you can actually drag. Also some sliders in the tool menu.

rotation and movements have parts that cant move at all. is there a way to fix this issue?
