well how do i bind something to my players feet?
would i need to use a line like something this?
$origin.bind = $player
or $object.bind = $player
or would i need to use a trigger?

Explain what you want to do. Both of those are wrong.

yeah i kind of thought they were wrong... i was just guessing
have you ever played ****CrazyServerMods****?
well i want to do something like they do... bonding objects to a player's feet. Then it removes player physics and lets you move forward while staying at the same height!like many other newbs, i marvel at the complex scripting and long hours this must take. I NEED to learn how to bind this stuff!

Well I'm not sure where the player's origin is but:

Well, the player's origin is probably at waist high, so you'll need to loop a script that updates it's postion:
Code: Select all
thread attatch_thingy
attatch_thingy:
$attatch_thingy.origin = $player.origin + 0 0 -46//player's origin, but 46 units lower
goto attatch_thingy
end
I don't think the $player.origin + 0 0 -46 is quite right but it's the idea...

nah, it'd be 0 0 46, - 46 would be underneath him.

But where is the player's origin? If it is waist high, then you'd want to use -46 so it is at his feet.
player origin

The players origin is on the ground (blue and green cross). So, (0 0 46) would put it at his hips.
Btw, the rectangle on the ground is for the shadow and it rotates around the players origin as he walks.

well, blue...
your scriot didnt attatch it to the player...
but the higgins dissapeared though...

so what you are trying is to make the player control the higgens?
try looking at the first driving tut here at .map, it hows how to control a tank, my guesss is it's the same principal. but, if you'd like to try something fast...
your script might be causing it to somehow use the hide keyword. show is the opposite.
