I looked around a bit and have not found anything of much use,
I'm making a robot with breakable and customizable parts,
I'm planing on making each breakable part a seperate object
because different part can break in a different order each time.
How would i go about connected the parts together I think i need
to have bones to connect the parts to but i am not sure.
I could use help.

I'm a noob help will be accepted

Since you don't need the object to flow like a organic model, unless your robots are more of an android type. I don't really see the need for bones. Just make your objects and glue them together. You just need the limbs commands to make a robot do what you want.

I'm not sure why you are getting the error. But as an alternative, have you thought about hiding limbs, and using separate models for the parts that fall off? It would be much easier to implement.

I'm sorry if im being a pain. I can't get any limbs to attach to any imported items so i can't use the limbs toconnect the models.
here is my code for a limb.


the error is "Runtime Error 72026 - You must link limbs in chain sequence at line 11"

There is no other code for limbs,
and no other code except camera and sync.

I may be missing a simple problem.
so if you could please help me.
