bone[boneid].transform

[DeliMIter]

I'm unable to change transform of a bone. I do it in the next way: boneid =
mymodel.resource.getBoneID(validname) bonetransform =
mymodel.bonesPlayer.bone[boneid].transform bonetransform.scale = vector(2, 2,
2) mymodel.bonesPlayer.bone[boneid].transform = bonetransform Every line of
the code works, every value is valid and so on, but the last line is like it is
skipped. Transform object of the bone does not change. Why? Thank you,
Dmitry.

IIRC there´s no way of manually setting the bone´s transform (I could
be wrong... long time without struggling with this). I think that you´re
looking for pragma bones. They´re are undocumented and not the easiest
to set up.

There also was an example of an arm robot using this technique... it was
posted here before. It must be somewhere in the archives of the forum.

hhmm.. actually, I was referring to this example (paul hosted it but
it´s from David Cowperthwaite) but I was quite busy for finding it:

When I view this demo the base arm unit follows the green dot , but the rest
of the arm segments just points straight in the air. Does anyone else have
this issue? The arm doesn't actually bend properly.
