when you create a 3D model you create groups of different body (or other) parts. Then you add a skeleton with joints. The joints repesent the limb numbers (roughly, in my experience). So in the code below the object "sword_01.x" is glued to object #1 at limb 18, which happens to be his right hand (wrist joint). Pretty easy and cool stuff. I belive you can attach collision boxes to glued objects, too.



Have fun!!

a series of polygons grouped in your 3d package with a unique name.

a limb is a series of polygons with a unique name that attaches to another 3D object at a specified joint of the object's skeleton.

Try it out. Create 2 3D objects, make sure one has a skeleton with a few joints. Try the above code, and you'll understand how it works.

Actually drac it can be one object, hence the root limb in every single mesh object.

About glued collision boxes;
If I were to create a model of a person and create another model that represents the collision boxes that I want to use, I can use that second model's limbs as collision boxes Or Is it more like creating a box as the code runs and slap it on to the limb.

Is it practical to be constantly checking for collision between say 30 glued boxes?

I wish I knew what I were doing!
