When using this on a player or some other entity, this is the form you should use:
| Description | An example on how to correctly define BuildBonePositions on a player. |
|---|---|
| Used on | |
| Code | function GM:OnEntityCreated( ent ) if ent:IsPlayer() then -- We want to define this for each player that gets created. ent.BuildBonePositions = function( self, NumBones, NumPhysBones ) -- Do stuff end end end |
| Output | N/A |
Additional Notes
- BuildBonePositions is called automatically. It is the only place where you can use functions like Entity.SetBonePosition and Entity.SetBoneMatrix.
- It is NOT called as a metamethod, so defining it in a metatable will do nothing. Unless this is already defined in the entity's code, like a custom SENT for example, it needs to be defined as a plain method on a per-entity basis. See the above examples.
- Entities like C_BaseFlex (i.e. ClientsideModel) will need this defined for them on a per-entity basis like you would with a player.
