How can I make my 3D modle pick up a gun and show up on his hand like a FPS game, and move with the 3D modle.


I looked and no one in the Drak GDK board asked it before.

Check out the dbGlueObjectToLimb() function. It should help. As for actually detecting the object (i.e., the gun), you can just use the distance formula for simplicity - don't really need much more than that.

iLimb is which limb of the object you want it to stick to. Limbs are like separate objects on the main object. By that I mean, you don't want to be sticking onto the head limb, but you do want to stick it onto the hand. Gettit?

check out this command it will return the number of limbs the model has.

void dbPerformCheckListForObjectLimbs ( int iObject )

now add 1 to the total and thats the number you need to add another object to the model.

void dbGlueObjectToLimb ( int iObject, int iSecondObject, int iLimb )

Sorry for the late reply, but I don't know how to do the whole:

void dbPerformCheckListForObjectLimbs ( int iObject )

How can I use it?

you need to make a varable to hold the number of limbs, then get the above command to put that into it.

can't show in how VS as still trying to undrestand how to do eveything.
so this how I would do it in basic.

number_of_limbs = Perform Check List For Object Limbs object_to_check
number_of_limbs = number_of_limbs+1
Glue Object To Limb object_to_be_added , main_object , number_of_limbs

so do it like above but use GDK commands.

if anyone else would like to show how the above looks in GDK please to do show how.

I would like to thank you HowDo for your great help, but I can't seem to make that method work the DarkGDK way.

Is there an alternative method I can use so when my characters collides with the gun it apreas on his hand?
