Getting root bone of unit?

[D4rkstalker]

Is there a way to get the root bone of a unit?

i.e for ahwassa (xsa0402):

Code: Select all

self:getrootBone()
// returns XSA0402


I'm currently using

Code: Select all

bp.BlueprintId

which causes issues when the bone does not match the blueprint id.

Hi D4rkstalker,

It depends on what you want to do. I'm not sure that the unit id always matches the root bone name.
If you want to check the bone names on a specific unit, launch a game on cheat mode. you can show it with the console commands: ren_ShowSkeletons & ren_ShowBoneNames
if you want to apply an fx like CreateAttachedEmitter(self, bone or 0, self:GetArmy()), you can refer to 0 that will point to the root bone.
Unless you got a GetBoneName method on entity objects.

Hope this will help.

You can try this method to give you the root bone name : self:GetBoneName(0)

That worked nicely, thanks!
