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?
Current version of the tool seems to be doing most of the things I'd like it to do, but in case of any bugs showing up, those would be fixed up.

If any bugs occur, report them here.

Or, you can report them here: https://github.com/Winded/RagdollMover/issues

There's also a possibility to translate Ragdoll Mover through GMod's resource files, in case if you'd like to help translate the tool in your language, you can help! You can fork ragdoll mover github repo and then add translations there. If you submit a pull request, write either here or contact PenolAkushari to check and update it to the workshop.

honestly when i first got this mod, i had no idea how to use it and everything about it was somewhat confusing to me, but after a couple of months of using blender, its actually really easy for me to grasp how this works, so now i can say that this helps a lot with ragdoll posing

how do i get the second version of this addon, im confused

@Gamer I agree with this person. I also would like to be able to insert a custom value while rotating a bone. I find it a large hassle to rotate something to the exact degree I wish to rotate it to.

whenever i use this on a ragdoll it just makes error i can still rotate pieces of the ragdoll but cant see the circles or arrows

@rucobi is always been like that, the only fix for that is to put a prop behind the object that you want to rotate/move.

Is there a way to rotate bones by entering an exact value (in the Tools menu at least)?

For example, if I wanted to rotate a bone at exactly 90 degrees and not like 90.58 degrees using the tool gun, how do I do that?

If this isn't a feature yet, can it be added in the Tools menu?

I have a cool upgrade idea for this tool. make a tool that removes the ragdolls joint limits. Im not a modler so I might be using the wrong terms, but removing the joint limits will make the ragdolls very floppy and easier to pose in complex moves
