Wired thinks with transformations and weapons attached to a npc hand

Hi all I have wired effect I have an NPC and I would like to attach a weapon to his hand... so far so good but when I script the NPC i used this code.

Code (CSharp):

1.      knife.transform.parent = transform.Find("Root_jnt/Hips_jnt/Body_jnt/Spine_jnt/UpperArm_Right_jnt/LowerArm_Right_jnt/Hand_Right_jnt").transform;
2.         knife.transform.localPosition = transform.Find("Root_jnt/Hips_jnt/Body_jnt/Spine_jnt/UpperArm_Right_jnt/LowerArm_Right_jnt/Hand_Right_jnt").position;
3.         knife.transform.localRotation = transform.Find("Root_jnt/Hips_jnt/Body_jnt/Spine_jnt/UpperArm_Right_jnt/LowerArm_Right_jnt/Hand_Right_jnt").rotation;

When a use the line

Code (CSharp):

1. knife.transform.parent = transform.Find("Root_jnt/Hips_jnt/Body_jnt/Spine_jnt/UpperArm_Right_jnt/LowerArm_Right_jnt/Hand_Right_jnt").transform;

I notice that in the editor i have the weapon in a gray color, as disable(?) or something and i dont see the item

if i put the following code on the update method:

Code (CSharp):

1.      knife.transform.localPosition = transform.Find("Root_jnt/Hips_jnt/Body_jnt/Spine_jnt/UpperArm_Right_jnt/LowerArm_Right_jnt/Hand_Right_jnt").position;
2.         knife.transform.localRotation = transform.Find("Root_jnt/Hips_jnt/Body_jnt/Spine_jnt/UpperArm_Right_jnt/LowerArm_Right_jnt/Hand_Right_jnt").rotation;

the weapon is attached to the NPC But.... it´s pointed wrongly

anyone can help me ?

thanks in advance

 

Well first and foremost, is there no way to link the proper transform in the inspector so that we don't need to do a very long Find? That would simplify things and make sure everything works every time.

As for the incorrect rotations, you want to make sure the knife's origin point is in the correct position and rotation so that when its parented to something, it will follow along in the manner you like. If the model/mesh isn't already doing so, you can place it inside of an empty GameObject and move it around inside there first. You most likely want the handle to be the origin point. Then you'd simply parent the object and set the localPosition and localRotation to Vector3.zero and Quaternion.identity respectively.

 

thanks groZZleR i´ll try

 

nothing works...

 

What aspect(s) don't work? Can you provide some screenshots?

We'll figure it out.

 

Hi, i solved, stupid error... the structure inside the model was deactivated.... mainly i went to the model step on the root and activate it from the inspector
cheers
