How to wear cosmetics

[Beef Piston]

I know you can apply cosmetics to your model but is there a way to apply a cosmetic to a player in a recording in gamemode because I don't want to have to animate all of his movements. If you could help me out that would be nice!

No, there is not.

There is, but not directly in the game mode. You know, locks.

Spawn the cosmetic(s) you want, create an animationset for the "existing element" of the player you recorded, then lock the player model onto the cosmetics, select them, go to the motion editor, and use the Zero preset. Bam.

hey you should dumb that down a bit for a guy thats not so good with sfm lol

I'm not good at making simple stuff seem simple, though, but I'll try.

Record yourself moving around in Source FilmMaker as you wish.
Go to the animationset editor, and add in all cosmetic(s) you want.
Still at the animationset editor, use "Create animationset for existing elements", and find your player model.
Lock that onto the cosmetics, then select the cosmetics, and drag the "Zero" preset slider all the way to the right, in the motion editor.

Watch Valve's official tutorials. They teach this.

Actually they don't teach this specific thing.

Yah, it's a shame they they haven't added non default weapons to gamemode :(

Doesn't really matter, since recorded weapons should always be replaced anyway, due to bugged lighting and misplaced muzzle flashes. Oh, and missing firing aminations, too.

do you drag the cosmetic to the model or the model to the cosmetic in the element view? because i tried both ways and when i slide the zero playhead the player model and the cosmetic just slide back and get squished into a square. Im try to get the FInal Frontiersman on to the sniper. Help?

You drag the parent to the child, i.e. the character model to the cosmetic's model, and apply the zero preset to the cosmetic's locked bones. Only the locked bones.

I recommend getting into real animation as soon as possible, it'll suck at first but you're not getting any better by being shy and using premade animations. Practice makes perfect
