sfm coolest then this, i dont know how work it!

Nothing happens. I think it's a bug. The menu doesn’t appear, and it's the same with the Ragdoll Mover addon—it’s not showing up or working at all.

Are you tapping the N button or holding it? Playback happens when you hold the button

the playback is horrible, i spam N a thousand times and it never works, but at random times i press n and it works.

Best mod ever

Never mind, its working now, i think i just had to put the frame thingy at the start of the animation.

Hi, when i click my playback button, (c) my animation does not play. Are there any suggestions on how to fix this?

+smh_playback

Unknown command: smh_playback
how to fix it

was that model changed in any way? in case of skeleton changes, SMH tends to mess up the whole model since it loads animations based on entities' bone id's rather than names, so in cases like bone orders being changed, or more/less physical bones being added, it can totally mess it up.

you can observe similar scenario happening if you make an animation with TF2 mercs, then install one of the addons that changes their physics (which are mostly some skeleton shuffling and adjusting physical limits), and try to load that animation onto the merc with different physics

The ragdoll has its limbs in various weird positions. Previously, it was a coherent, if rough, animation.

For some reason, I loaded a saved animation of an old model I'd since uninstalled and reinstalled, and the animation is completely broken.

When you pause GMod, there’s a Problems tab somewhere on the bottom right. If you click that, you can see the lua error, as well as a button to copy it to your clipboard. Once you get to that point, try pasting the error into your comment

uh theres a lua error for some reason idk why but im just telling u if its a problem or a glitch

thanks

Holding the middle click button (scroll wheel) on the keyframe and dragging along the timeline copies a single frame and pastes it to the position of your mouse cursor on the timeline. To copy multiple frames, you need to hold the shift button and select the first keyframe and last keyframe in the sequence you want to copy. Then you do the same thing: hold the middle click button on any of the keyframes and drag the mouse along the timeline. Note that any keyframes pasted on top of another will override it

Great mod

how do i paste copied keyframes? i didnt see it in the tutorial

The command may be mistyped. In the console, type `smh` or `+smh` (w/o quotes), and press your up and down arrow keys to view all the commands. Then you can copy-and-paste them to your bind command

It says all the keybind commands are unknown. What do I do?

ok thanks

do you use faceposer on these ragdolls before recording them with smh? by default their flexes get set to all 0's, but with tf2 guys some flexes are meant to be set at 0.5, which faceposer will initialize if you select their face beforehand.

disabling faceflex timeline will still keep recorded keyframes on it, so to truly get rid of them you'll need to make 2nd timeline, put faceflex option on it, and delete all keyframes from there (you can use shift + left click on first and last keyframe to select them and all keyframes between them, btw)

and its always when i switch from the toolgun to other weapons

whenever i playback an animation on a tf2 ragdoll it always makes a weird face and when i turn of the face flexes in the properties it doesnt work, ive also tried to record every keyframe again with the default face but no matter what it still makes the weird face no matter what i do

thank u

@mdickinson100
Open the console and type “bind <key> smh_record” (without quotes). For example “bind m smh_record”

If you want to see more commands, type “smh_”, and press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow keys to see what’s there

how do u do a keybind for record?

@༒☬𝓢𝓮𝓷𝓴𝓸☬༒ do you happen to select an entity to load an animation onto? for usual loading, you need to have same stuff present that you used to animate before, then select them and load an animation from the save one by one. there's also spawning, but it doesn't save anything that SMH can't animate, so loading it the usual way would be preferable

So assuming you made at least two different keyframes in an animation (e.g. a box moving from one point to point), holding the +smh_playback should move any related entities. Are you also getting any red text in your console when you press the m button?

I've tried binding some of my keys for the playback button like this "bind m +smh_playback button but nothing's happened when I press it. This is my first time using smh and I haven't found any good guides.

Hola, tengo un problema y es que cuando guardo la animacion y la quiero poner no me deja, si alguien tiene solucion a eso necesitaria su ayuda porfavor, no puedo animar ya que no puedo cargar lo que guardo

strange, it seems like as if something messes up its worldclicker initialization, or worldclicker just not existing for some reason. you're not using any beta branch either? and did you happen to try it without addons enabled? you can disable them without unsubscribing through addons menu in the main menu, btw

ye ive even tried gm_construct

does it happen consistently on any map, or some specific one? does it also happen without having other addons enabled? that would be good for me to know as i can't reproduce this issue

its saying theres a problem this is it [Stop Motion Helper] lua/smh/client/ui.lua:418: attempt to index upvalue 'WorldClicker' (a nil value)

Thx a bunch!

inside garry's mod, in this path - garrysmod\data\smh

Hey does anyone know where the animation files are saved? I plan on getting a new pc and want to backup my saved anims.

that sounded alot more better in my head

i would marry this addon if i could

you can make fnf spirtes in gmod

I can't wait to make a scene from final destination blood lines in waste disposal!

wich was the mod for the bones that was used in the video?

Ragdoll For some a SM64 Machinima idea, But I back to the game and seems back working (i don't know how too)
But thanks for the help any way c:

The errors are related to model scale. For a workaround, go to the Properties menu, located in the SMH menu on the bottom right between "Record" and "Save." Where you see the timelines, open any of them, and select the "Model scale" checkbox.
What type of entity (ragdoll, physics prop, etc.) are you animating? I think I've come across this error consistently before, but I haven't looked into it until now

Yo

yeah Im blind lol I saw the localize phy bones option in the menu and my brain just fused the two together thank you

do you happen to have "don't animate physbones" checked in the settings

All of a sudden the mod flat out doesn't animate ragdolls anymore. I was posing a model I went to change the frames and recorded and i went to playback the motion by scrolling through the timeline but the model didn't move at all and I've tried to actually play the motion but again nothing. I've changed maps, I've tried using props; and those were fine, I've restarted my computer, but its doesn't work anymore and its just ragdolls that don't move. I'm wondering is there a fix i can do on my end or is it just over cause there's a project i was making and i really wanted to continue it.

Having the menu open (either by holding the button or toggling it open from console by typing +smh_menu in console) blocks keybinds. Keybinds only work when the menu is closed. There's not really anything that can be done about it now
