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)?

For example, the effect of a weapon or something else does not have bones, when I want to change the position of a part of this object using Ragdoll Mover, then there is nothing else except static_prop, is there a solution to this problem?:dealeruwu:

So every time I try using the ragdoll mover it works the first time but for some reason when I wanna use it again I try clicking on the bone I want to do the rotate thing doesn’t wanna show

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.
PenolAkushari  [author] 29 Aug @ 12:42am 
does that happen when moving something, or overall when it is selected?
