| I am working on a game where i have a base skeleton that will have all my characters animations but i wanted to keep the body parts seperate in case i may want to replace the mesh with like clothing or armor. Here is a good set of functions to do this without the trouble of manually lining parts up. Provided the Part your attaching has bones that have the same name as the skeletons. |
