  I'm having the same problem, I'm retrieving a value from a string however it doesn't recognize it as a value in the private variable.

  edit: Yeah that int(string) seemed to make it work.

  NPC's in Oblivion and Fallout 3 have their own routines. They sleep at night (go in their homes) and wander around in daytime.

  They exist for you to talk with, to get mission-objectives, or to let you believe you are not alone (although in Oblivion I always feel alone^^).

  NPC's in GTA 4 wander around, or say one liners to other NPC's.

  They exist to populate the city and to be splattered.

  In fable 2, NPC's are sitting on the ground sometimes, so you can surprise-attack them.

  Sometimes they are just standing, doing nothing, waiting for you to come.

  Sometimes they jump out of a tree (scripted).

  Are these NPC's having a meaningful existence?

  Yes, technology has come a long way since mario.

  So I'd basically make little ball things, then attach them together with hinges?

  Yeah I see your point, there doesn't seem like a proper solution.

  Haven't tried this, but maybe a work around could be: Have an invisible piece situated where the ground would be and give it the bone-movement, then join your main body piece to that piece then you'll be able to move all the body parts anywhere you like!

  yeah didn't really seem relevant to the topic

  The main thing it would improve with this feature, is for allowing more 'vertical movement' in the animations. Instead of having stiff running animations where only the limbs around you move.

  However, I guess this could be solved by not choosing to have the 'torso' part as the central peice of the bone-movement.

  Just wondering if you can give the platform behaviour to two objects, so you can have like 2 player. It seems they would have to share the same controls. Is there a way around this?
