I don't think I've considered ragdolls from VJ NPCs. I could take a look at that and see if the tool is able to do that.

Does Animated Props have support for this? If so, then it's likely that Ragdoll Puppeteer should also be able to do this, too (though I will need to see for myself once I get GMod running)

Does this addon support copying an NPC's pose (probably an NPC from a VJ Base addon as I think VJ Base NPCs have really cool poses and animations) over to a ragdoll like the ragdoll of that NPC?

I think I understand your question a bit more. The tool only lists all the poses provided for that ragdoll, but it does not directly copy and paste the pose and frame from an NPC, to another ragdoll. It sounds like an interesting feature. I'll put that on the issue tracker[github.com] for me to look at in the future

Can you make the Pose Parameters work with SMH as well? This would help with something like slowing down to a halt

Always had that in mind!

I’ve recently updated this post to include the issue tracker, which includes some bugs and the feature requests listed here. I’d look through there to check if a feature is in the queue. Of course, if you have a Github account, you can post a feature request directly on there

Hello @dim sum un
Remember when I wrote that it would be great if the Puppeteer Floor spawned on the ground instead of in air? Well, I just thought that, why not make it a feature through a checkbox again? Originally, before you added the Puppeteer Floor, there was a checkbox of an option if you want to snap a ragdoll to the ground. So I was thinking, why not restore it? This way, it would be optionable just like before! I really miss that feature....

As I mentioned before, the floor gives you as much flexibility to pose the puppeteer in any place, so this includes wherever ground that you wish to position the puppeteer.

Unfortunately, I still fail to see a need for the ‘Teleport to Ground’ function. The most recent update includes a height slider which offsets the puppeteer from the floor. You can find this under the Offsets category. This should give you the option to move the puppeteer closer to the ground, along with the old angle sliders for pose adjustment. I’ll assume that that hasn’t helped you in some way if you’ve worked with this feature.

Despite that, I still do wish to cooperate with you with the problem that you’re having. Make a discussion post here showing me what you’re striving to accomplish, and I’ll see what I can do

For example, there's this NPC (the Authority Enforcer from Rage) that was shooting at me until I disabled the NPC thinking and coincidentally stood in this pretty cool pose that I would probably need copying for a screenshot later:

It would be even better if you can like choose any frame of that VJ Base NPC and copy that pose over to the ragdoll equivalent.

Hey Gamer. I've made this a feature here[github.com]. If you'd like to test this on your own time, click on the green <> Code button, download zip, and plop this in your addons folder

Check out the feature here[github.com]. Again, see if you're able to test this on your own time.

A remapping puppeteer feature would be handy like the animated prop tool.

This would certainly be nice to have. HL2 ValveBipeds has plenty of animations that could be reused for different skeletons. I have a naive implementation of this[github.com] where remapping is performed between different characters with the same bone names; for instance, the TF2 Heavy can perform animations from the other mercs since they share the bip_ skeletal structure. If you want to read more about what I have in mind, you can also look through this.[github.com]

a feature where you could "copy" poses of a ragdoll and paste it onto another? would be useful for giving poses to npcs with different animation sets (EX: metro poses to a citizen)

AutoPoser seems to accomplish what you want, though I’m interested if you could present a case using the puppeteer tool, as the Ragdoll Remapping feature (with some adjustments to the current copy and paste feature) I have in mind may also accomplish what you want

ability to have multiple puppeteers, im currently makin an animations rn and jus realized that you can only put one puppeteer on a ragdoll

That’s a good idea. I’ve been thinking about this before, but I haven’t found a good implementation for it. I’ll track this[github.com] just in case, so I’ll get around updating with this feature and other ones that come along
