hello

When i try to drag the setupArmRig.mel to any of these rigs into an idle animation

to make slides, wallruns and sprints for WAW the left arm is distorted to the max:

The setupArmRig.mel contains this:

//Rename T7 rig to remove ambiguous joint names
$namespaceToFind="t7"; //takes regular expressions, too

$select =`ls`;
for ($sel in $select) 
{
	string $buffer[] ;
	catchQuiet(`tokenize $sel ":" $buffer`) ;
	if($buffer[0] == $namespaceToFind)
	{
		catchQuiet(`rename $sel ($sel + "_" + $namespaceToFind)`);
	}
	
}

// Remove namespaces
string $allNodes[] = `ls` ;

// Loop Through Them
for($node in $allNodes) {

 // Tokenize And Rename
 string $buffer[] ;
 tokenize $node ":" $buffer ;
 string $newName = $buffer[size($buffer)-1] ;
 catchQuiet(`rename $node $newName`) ;

}

My script knowledege is 0, so if anyone can take a look and find out what's wrong

I will promise him a big box full of cookies

Thanks

I'm a little late, but I'm very familiar with this stuff, and have created custom animations for most of my ported weapons. I do not use Aszry's rig to animate, I just use my own conversion rig. However, I can take a few logical guesses as to what the issue may be, but I'm going to need a few more details. First off, just to help me understand for sure, link me to the exact rig you're using for animating the WaW guns. The script you posted looks like it's almost certainly used to create an animation rig out of an existing animation, but I want to be sure before I attempt to diagnose the issue.
