Same here Grindiwald Murdoch, it isn't selecting the bones I hover over and I just can't use it.

For some reason, it isn't selecting the bones I'm hovering over, so I can't use it at all

The only way that can happen is if the physics model of the ragdoll changes between the time when you saved the dupe and when you load it in now. For example, loading an old dupe of TF2 models with a different TF2 physics addon will result in messed up posing. Ragdoll Mover shouldn’t do anything to ragdoll poses. If something’s happening, let us know how we can reproduce it

i kinda believe that recently somehow ragdolls, posed with this addon, breaks in dupes, like, they take the weird, VERY weird pose and i can't describe it.

The ragdoll mover is having a problem with the stand pose. Whenever I apply stand pose to a ragdoll, their left hand gets stuck in place and using the mover drags the hand backwards.

does that happen when moving something, or overall when it is selected?

Ragdoll mover slows my game down to 2 fps? whats the solution to this

the tool is meant to be in the posing tab in the tools menu, if it's not there at all, then it may be some issue with addon mounting. i recall that disabling other addons can help to make "invisible" addons show up

Modu indirdim ama bir türlü bulamıyorm yardım lütfen :(

See my reply to seby5008 on Aug 19 @ 9:55am

i can't move arms with the tool, make it so you can so i can make serverblight type stuff

There is already support for effects. You have to go to the bottom of the UI in the C menu, and find the Entity Children section, and then select the desired model from there, under “watermelon.mdl.” See 31:56 of the tutorial video for more info on it

Could you make support for effects? (like if an effect has bones, you can use this tool to move them instead of needing to use the adv bone tool, which can take some time depending on the effect)

Hey all. If you had an issue with Ragdoll Mover not working because you removed/undo’d an entity while moving it, we narrowed down the issue to some incorrect logic on our side. Please test out the fix here if you are able!

using some ragdoll breaker tools is also an option, but those will totally break connections between bones, so ragdolls will fall apart in a funny way when unfrozen

oh i thought i could move them with the arrow gizmos, thanks!

@seby5008
If you have the arrow gizmos, you can only move the pelvis because it isn't parented to another physics bone ( check the Bone List in the C Menu and notice that the pelvis bone is not located underneath another bone with a "Brick" icon ). On the other hand, physics bones that are parented to another physics bone (e.g. the bip_spine_0 is parented to bip_pelvis) cannot be moved. You can only rotate them using the disc gizmos.

If you want to move them around with the arrow gizmos, use the Ragdoll Stretch and Ragdoll Weight tools

why cant i move the ragdolls bodyparts? i can only move the pelvis is it a problem with the bone im selecting or maybe im just stupid?

yippee it's back up! :D

I made a writeup of the hidden Ragdoll Mover issue in its own post here , just so that it doesn't end up getting hidden in the comment section

and it's been 5 hours, and still counting

also gonna put a patch in a couple of hours that fixes some of the errors reported before, gonna see for how long steam automated content check is gonna hold it this time

i am curious, did the issue happen and then stop happening on the same map? were you loading into it through creating a new game or loading a save? would be nice to know on what map it did happen, as perhaps issue could be still reproduced to find out how that happens, so it won't appear again

It eventually fixed itself.

We've seen this happen on maps with lots of entities (our test map was gm_wangan). What map are you testing it on? And does it happen on just the specific map, or does it happen on any map (like gm_construct)?

To also help with debugging, could you report any lua errors that may have shown up from the Problems menu on the bottom right of the pause screen (just "Copy to clipboard" the lua error and paste it into a comment or in a discussion page)? We've also come across a similar selection issue when other addons error, so this would be valuable

I am having a problem: I am unable to select the ragdoll with the mover at all. The joint selections are still visible, but I am unable to right or left click them.

Welp i'm a idiot, that did it, thanks man!

did you set its convar to 1? it needs to be enabled through that, as sphere can kind of get in the way, and it only will work for physical bones

Sorry, i should've said it was the sphere one, but i will check on that

that one isn't activated, it is there by default, if it's the orange square one. some other addon may be interfering, try disabling other stuff and see how that goes

I might be doing something wrong but i can't seem to activate or display the omni-gizmo after reinstalling the mod again

I may be confused, BUT I AINT NO LOSER I AINT WATCHIN YO VIDEO

there are button binders for modes in the misc category that should show to which buttons they are set, and you can rebind them to any other key there

this once worked really well for me and suddenly i have a hard time cycling through all the modes of the mover :( what are the controls? it doesnt say it anywhere

The beta is working flawlessly, no quirks so far, thx for that!

Hey Jeos52: we updated a beta version of Ragdoll Mover with what we think is a fix to your issues with loading into the save. This beta version updates relatively quickly compared to this version, so let us know if you still run into problems, and we'll try to fix it ASAP

(We'll also update the description too to include a link to this beta version, so it doesn't get lost in the comments here)

Yeah, loading from main, triggers the error, and reloading after from the spawn menu stays ok, i had just the ragdoll mover and the map addons only active and still happens

Are you loading into a GMod save directly from the main menu? Does the error show up if you also attempt to reload the save while you are in the map? The error could resolve itself if you already load into the map first and then attempt to load the save

I think something may not be initializing correctly here due to this, which leads to the lua error you posted, and that can be due to an addon conflict. Please try to resolve this by disabling some non-model or non-effect addons (particularly, addons with lua scripts). If there are other lua errors, I think it would also be worth posting. We can investigate this further in a discussion post here . Otherwise, I'll discuss this further with the devs

ok, i tried to reset the locks button on one of the models that have bonemerged entities on it and the save goes bonkers deleting every single bonemerged bodygroup on the next time i load the save

@dim sum un
They are fairly recent, i havent use locks bones in this save

@Jonnyhawkeye
Please post the error that you get (check the Problems menu on the bottom right) so I can help further diagnose this

@Jeos52
How old are the saves that you are trying to load? + What locks on the entities (position, rotation, scale, etc.) do you remember putting in the save?

Loading my saves i get this error

yea when i want this to work i have to reinstall it everytime.! its annoying cause its currently not working again.

ı cant find radgoll mover tool

i have time struggling to select the hand's "bone" or whatever it's called.
but other than that, it's good.

is it selectable? if not, you may have unchecked the "disable filter" checkbox

I can't move Camera anymore, why?

You get that option when you initially click on one of the entities in the Constrained Entity list, and then attempted to select a nonphysical bone. You should still be able to select/move nonphysical bones, either through the Advanced Bone Select menu or through the Bone Tree UI

hey uh, for some reason when i try to click on a nonphysical bone it says "cant lock entity to non physical bones" witch doesnt even allow me to select or move them, is an error on my end or the bones cannot be toched anymore?

sounds like jigglebone stuff that got enabled for ragdolls since recent gmod updates, there are tools to disable them on workshop, and iirc there may have been a console command to disable all jigglebones, yet i can't find it on the internet so far
