C++ function used to control the parent of the current entity.
Syntax
FollowEntity( CBaseEntity *pBaseEntity, bool bBoneMerge = true )
Values
pBaseEntity- Defines a parent. In doing so:
- Zeroes origin and angles
- Sets
MOVETYPE_NONE - Adds
FSOLID_NOT_SOLID
pBaseEntity = NULL- The entity leaves its parent and moves on its own.
StopFollowingEntity()may also be used, but it will not reset the entity'sMoveType. bBoneMerge = false- Prevent the current entity from moving with
pBaseEntity's animations. It will move relative topBaseEntity's origin only.
Bones and Attachments
To find attachment points and bone names, there are several methods: Check modelname.qc(SourceSDK has examples), use hlmv or other model software, use ent_attachments console command, or LookupAttachment() if programming.
Todo: Code calls/console commands related to bones?
