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.

Please read the F.A.Q.!

If any bugs occur, report them here.

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

Interested in improving the tool further? You can test the Beta version of Ragdoll Mover. This version contains new, untested features, which will go to the main version after more testing. We fix bugs and push updates faster on the beta than this version, and it circumvents the long content check wait times!

Speaking of long content check times, dim sum un made a write-up which clears up some misunderstandings about Ragdoll Mover's hidden status.

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.

The known way for (ragdoll physics) bone positions to mess up is if one changes a physics model between saves. It happens with any ragdoll (not just a TF2 ragdoll with improved physics override)

Try narrowing down the addon that changes the physics of your ragdolls

this doesnt work for saves, it screws up all the bone positions

You rebind it in two ways:

1. In Ragdoll Mover's C menu, on the Misc. tab, there are two big buttons below tool update rate: one for Rotate toggle and one for Scale toggle. Click on the button for Rotate toggle to rebind it
2. Set it in the console via `ragdollmover_rotatebutton [NUMBER]`, where [NUMBER] (1, 4, 98, etc.) represents the key you want to bind it to. See this table [wiki.facepunch.com] for a list of valid key numbers

It won't let me select bones

Last updates broke this tool.
Where's the link with old version of ragdoll mover? Please

Does rebinding the rotate toggle button make the rotation discs show up? Sometimes, the default middle mouse button gets worn out, and I had to rebind it to a different key for the discs to properly show up

Rotation option doesn't work on ragdolls or props anymore. Doesnt even show up as an option, it's like it's disapeared. Only ones that work are the mover and scaler ones.
