Is it just going to have multiple hands in it's inventory?
I'd just think that it would be attached by a piston or something.
I think you should use the hand you used on the rocket fist for the normal hand, it will make it look more brutish, promise me. It will also look completely silly with the other weapons I'd like to give him, i.e. the Dreadnaught launcher, etc. Otherwise I'd have used it.

Re: My newest WIP...The Dummy Behemoth. The hand is going to be a weapon, right?
So your actual hand will be invisible.
Just add the hand sprite into the other weapons, then you can change how they are held and crap.

Re: My newest WIP...The Dummy Behemoth. No matter how many times I redo this, the hand doesn't move from where it would be if the actor had a really small arm.
Max distance makes the arm contract funny, and idle offset just changes the arm position.
The hand is ♥♥♥♥ this whole thing up. Anyone better with offsets care to help?

Re: The Dummy Behemoth. -Need help with hands (offset messed up) When you change IdleOffset change the other offsets to match.

I don't even know what Idle Offset is supposed to 'match'. I know Sprite offset is the center of the sprite. Joint is where i want the arm to rotate (in the middle of the shoulder) Parent offset is where I want the joint to be on the parent (the center of the torso) Idle offset relates to...?

Re: The Dummy Behemoth. -Need help with hands (offset messed up) If all else fails just add 10 to one ordinate at a time and see what happens.

Re: The Dummy Behemoth. -Need help with hands (offset messed up) OR, you can check how that ♥♥♥♥ works on another hugeass actor, like the MPAM.

Re: The Dummy Behemoth. -Need help with hands (offset messed up) Doesn't help much.
Right now I have the behemoth all pieced together, but his hands/feet are scrunched compared to the arms/legs. I think it's AtomGroups and I just don't understand those at all.

Re: The Dummy Behemoth. -Need help with hands (offset messed up) I sincerely doubt it is anything to do with the atomgroups. They affect collisions, not how the thing looks.

Well something's off. I've been at this for hours. Maybe someone can see something that I can't. Here's the .ini file:
