This command will link a newly created limb to a limb within an existing 3D object.

LINK LIMB Object Number, Limb Parent, Limb Child

Object Number

Integer
The object number

Limb Parent

Integer
The limb number we will link to

Limb Child

Integer
The newly created limb number

This command does not return a value.

When a limb is connected to another, it becomes a child limb that will be affected by the position, rotation and scale of its parent limbs. The parameters should be specified using integer values. When you ADD LIMB, all limb index values are re-ordered to reflect the new hierarchy, so old limb numbers will not be the same as they where before the LINK LIMB command.
