Why will bones not copy location of other bones?

I have a very simple script which will make the hands of a humanoid rig copy locations of different parts of a gun, but it doesn't do anything (even error)!
Can anyone see any problems:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class WeaponHold : MonoBehaviour {
5.     public GameObject lefthand;
6.     public GameObject righthand;
7.     public GameObject pump;
8.     public GameObject trigger;
9.  
10.     void Start () {
11.        
12.     }
13.  
14.     void Update () {
15.         Vector3 pumplocation = new Vector3 (pump.transform.position.x, pump.transform.position.y, pump.transform.position.z);
16.         Vector3 triggerlocation = new Vector3 (trigger.transform.position.x, trigger.transform.position.y, trigger.transform.position.z);
17.         lefthand.transform.position = pumplocation;
18.         righthand.transform.position = triggerlocation;
19.     }
20. }
21.  

 

Are lefthand and righthand affected by an Animator? IIRC Animator updates in between Update and LateUpdate, so it may simply be overwriting your position changes.

(If they are children of an object that has an Animator, they may be affected even if the currently playing clip doesn't touch them. If an Animator has clips A, B, C, and D, and only clip C affects the position of object X, then when clips A, B, and D are playing, the Animator will force object X to its default position.)

 

Okay, makes sense. How do i tag an object to have animator?

 

Huh?

 

Well, in other words; how do i make them affected by an animator (i'm not good with terminology, sorry )

 

Nevermind, i got it working; i assigned the wrong bones to lefthand and righthand! Dammit XD. My friend makes the models and the ones i used i didn't know were actually nothing more than transforms and not part of the rig.
