God came down from heaven and decided to create this addon for gmod

Hype

Hey all. I've just finalized the retargeting feature for this tool. I'll post a new video for you to watch, and then update the addon in a moment. If you're interested in what this update entails, take a look at this update post here

most animations just make the ragdoll stick to floor, is it fixable

Copy what the error says from the console, so I can help further troubleshoot this. I cannot help you if I don’t know what’s causing this

i got a problem with Ragdoll Puppeter. I Keep getting Lua Errors like This. (a number value)

thank you for this mod. This is helpfull

Hello all, I've recently finished up a prototype for a new retargeting feature for Ragdoll Puppeteer. Similar to Animated Props' remapping feature, this new feature will allow you to play sequence animations from any puppeteer's model onto the puppet of your choice, depending on if the tool has a way to convert between the puppeteer's skeleton to the puppet's. Sequence animations are supported for now; I may do retargeting for SMH animations at a later point

If you want to test this feature before release, visit the remapping branch [github.com] in the source code, click the green "Code <>", click Download Zip, and drop the folder from that zip into your addons folder. You may need to track this branch and redownload this file to get the latest updates and fixes

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED THANK YOU

Nevermind! I figured it out! :)

How do I equip this tool? I just installed it, and I really want to try it! Thank you for your help!!

I do not even know how to use it!

You need to fix the random pose option. Just saying. I will keep it deleted for now.

this saved me hours of work on my dioramas

This addon is so useful for animator, i really need this for my videos

Thanks Dim sum un!

Hey all. I've just pushed out a new update regarding some of your feature requests from one or two months ago. Read more about them here !

This tool seems very useful, but I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to wrap my head out it. A tutorial on how to use this properly, including combining it with SMH, would be much appreciated.

This has helped me animate stuff so much, like being able to have a run cycle transition into something hand animated or physics recorded. absolute PEAK

gmod is slowly turning into sfm not bad tough

Interesting application. The dev branch I posted earlier has the ability to puppeteer camera animations directly; in this way, you can mocap your camera in another software (for those Type 5 Demos, rig something irl that could attach a phone camera to your head) and import the animation into the camera model

this seems like it would be useful for any mod trying to recreate Type 5 Demos from Interloper. just mocap some animations and set 'em over a ragdoll, put a camera at the head and boom.

Hello all. Once again, I have made a branch [github.com] to help encourage testing of some new features before I release them onto the workshop. Click the green "<> Code" button, click "Download Zip", and extract the folder into your addons folder to test. You can view the list of changes here [github.com].

Of course, I will be adding new features, so the list will update from time-to-time to include new bug fixes or features. I would appreciate your time in testing these features before they are released to the workshop

Oh my god, Thank you so much! This help me with every of my Creative idea! now i can do a lot of stuff i can't do

@zelatur You copy sequences from NPCs and paste them into a model, if the model has the sequence. HL2 citizens do not have L4D sequences, so it's expected that the copy-and-paste operation would fail there. I might rework that copy and paste feature in the future, since it's quite restricted to NPCs in general. As for having HL2 citizens with L4D sequences, something like this would require a bone remapping feature, similar to Animated Props' remapping; I also might work on this in the future

using other models animations doesnt work, tried to use l4d animations on hl2 citizen model and it not worked, all you have to do is press R on model you want borrow animations from right? in my case didnt worked, or maybe im doing something wrong? ... other than that great tool, you can finally port animations to SMH and record them, it wasnt possible with different animation tools, it didnt detect ragdoll, but with this tool you can!

master of puppets

i like this

@bimbim Ragdoll Puppeteer looks through the root 'smh' folder (located in garrysmod/data/smh) and any other folder in the root for animation files. SMH saves its animations in the root folder. You can test this by saving one keyframe of a kleiner model; then, puppeteer the kleiner model, switch to the 'Stop Motion Helper' source, and find the name of the animation file that you saved

I may sound dumb, but how do i import the smh animations i made into the Ragdoll Puppeteer directory, in your video, you had some sort of folder where you keep your animations, but when i try to go to SMH Helper, it only shows the text, there is no selection were you can make your own folder, or how you can import that smh animation to your ragdoll.

Still no use when using custom models besides HF2 or TF2 characters.
Shame.

我太爱这个模组了，GMOD动画作者们的福音

@glitchhunter09 you ragdoll puppeteer the model, make it play the animation you want, bring up the SMH's menu, physics recorder, play it on there

Hey all, if you guys happen to be using the latest version of SMH [github.com] on Github, I've made a branch [github.com] that loads these saves. This fixes an issue related to the error message "attempt to index local 'prevFrame' (a nil value)." Note that the latest version of SMH is WIP, so this branch may be volatile to these changes. Once a newer version of SMH gets published to the workshop, I will incorporate the new SMH saves into this tool

Holy shit i just discovered a whole new layer of GMOD animation THANK YOU

ah yes red vs blue

the fact you can only have one animated ragdoll at a time with the puppeteer is stupid. How am I supposed to do videos that look good if only one ragdoll animates at a time?

how do you even get the pupeeter?

Any plan compatibility with WOS Animator mods?

kino

i bet gmod arg creators will get a kick out of this one

now someone combine this with drgbase and reagdoll and make bonelab npcs (please dont it's gonna completely eat all of my memory)

sandwich

Post the error in the Bug Reports so I can solve the problem through there

any time I select a ragdoll to puppeteer it produces an error and the menu doesn't come up

Ah, just came across the issue on my end. Looks like it's related to some unused variable. I'll make a quickfix for this and removed said unused variable. Thanks for reporting this!

The problem is a little vague since this could be an addon conflict or something else entirely, as that player function (GetInfo) should exist. I'll need more information to go off from before I can help, so see if you can deduce that this is due to an addon conflict by disabling or enabling addons

found this error, fix?

[Ragdoll Puppeteer] lua/autorun/ragdollpuppeteer.lua:27: attempt to call method 'GetInfo' (a nil value)
1. addPlayerField - lua/autorun/ragdollpuppeteer.lua:27
2. v - lua/autorun/ragdollpuppeteer.lua:48
3. unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:96

interesting

Just pushed the update with the features that some of you requested! Check out the Feature Request 1 update video, or view this post for more information

Thank you mate
