Description
What is it?
Ragdoll Mover is a tool that allows you to move ragdolls in a similar way to 3D programs. This also includes IK chains.

Why should I use it?
If you are fine with physgun, then maybe you don't need to use this. But here's a few key features of why you might want to use this in certain situations:
-You can move ragdolls without limitations from the ragdoll physics; you can twist the ragdoll's head upside down without problems.
-When you rotate a bone, it's child bones will rotate with it. So you can rotate the ragdoll's arm like you've welded the lower arm and hand to the upper arm. (Except, as mentioned, without physical limitations.)
-By moving the ragdoll's root bone (usually the pelvis), you can move the entire ragdoll like it's a statue!
-Contrary to bones moving relatively to their parent bones, there's IK chains. IK chains are used to keep certain bones in an exact position while moving, for example, the rest of the body. This is most commonly used with legs and arms.

I'm still confused
Then watch the video! It might clear things up.

Are you going to keep updating this?
I have a remake of the tool in the works, but it's not really a priority right now, so it might take a long time to get it done.

If any bugs occur, report them here.

Why make an update if the older version was just fine? :(


(It just makes everything harder and makes physgun posing look easier)

Letting you know that since the latest update, it's conflicted and messed with other mods, for example, "Alien Isolation: Alien" addon.
The error is this:
[ERROR] workshop/lua/autorun/ragdollmover.lua:30: attempt to index a nil value
1. v - workshop/lua/autorun/ragdollmover.lua:30
2. old_hook_call - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:84
3. unknown - workshop/lua/includes/modules/momo/compat.lua:30

It might be fixable on your side, but the developer (I don't think) can fix it on his side.

Completely useless. Don't even bother, it breaks after you save a game and go back into it. I've been looking everywhere for a solution and nobody is helpful. Absolute bullshit.

It was working fine for me for a while but now it just shows the "Pelvis" thing but when I click on it nothing shows up and if I click at it a few times the move arrow shows up but nothing else and I can' use it anymore ):
