Post Rotating Attachables
I have no idea how I did it, but I was messing with the dummy actor and I managed to add another head. Not a real head, just another attachable. The wierd thing was, it also faced in the same direction as the regular head, but was pinned down to the torso. So it gave the illusion of two heads.
Cause I'm such an idiot, I accidently removed the lines of code and saved over it and it's lost now. Does anyone know about doing things like that and could help me out? I've been trying to duplicate it but I either end up with a non rotating attachable or one that moves off of its desired anchor.
I've also tried searching lots of different things but the closest I got was someone wanting the head not to rotate at all... -_-

You can attach attachment not to the head . You can attach 2nd head to the body . Like we have chestplates . So you just need to work with X and Y and all .
Everything attaches like a head , just add attachment after all limbs (head,arms ...). And place
Code:
AddAttachment = Attachment
<tab><tab>CopyOf = etc.

That's what I don't want though, If I attach it like a chestplate, it doesnt rotate when I aim somewhere, like a head does. Somehow I made it rotate before, but I can't remember how, cause I don't have the code for it anymore.

Oops i didnt understood you . Try looking in coalition code . They have helmets as attacheable so you can cut a part of code . You must have 1ST The attacheble :
Code:
AddAttacheble = Attacheable
<TAB>PresetName = etc.
BLAH,BLAH,BLAH

Then when you want add attacheable to head type this after first AddGib .
Code:
<tab>AddAttacheable = Attacheable
<tab><tab>CopyOf = etc.
<tab><tab>ParentOffset = Vector
<tab><tab><tab> X = ?
<tab><tab><tab> Y = ?

Try attaching the head to the arm.

I was messing with ballistic pauldrons, and they seems to move according to your aim more so that the arm they're attached to, and about as much as heads do.

Ok, I'm pretty certain that you just do not understand what he is saying. He is not saying he attached something to the head, he is saying he made something that moved like the head.
Really, don't respond with "50 chest compressions" when someone is asking you how to treat a burn on the finger, and then say "oh, drain the poison" if they ask again.

Ahh I think that's what I did, and had the joint at the arms joint so it didn't come off the body. Thanks!

Reminds me of my first aid course.
Insutructor: What do you do when a snake bites your leg?
Student: Suck out the poison with your mouth!
Insutructor: As much as you see that on the movies, that's not what we do...
Student: Cut off their leg?

mmn, things attached to the arm fail.
what happens if you define the head twice? does it change the head or define another? hmm...

It just uses the second defined head.
The Ronin are just copies of one of them with redefined heads, I think.

Arm attachment heads could be kinda neat if done right.
