Ragdoll Weight tool

Description
Tool that allows you to set weight of ragdoll bones.

This tool is very basic, and can't reset bone weights to their original values. For some more info about this tool you can watch youtube video that is attached here.

Primary idea behind this tool was to combine it with ragdoll stretch, to make ragdoll stretching more "free".

Update as of November 17th 2022, Ragdoll Weight tool will now save weight in GMod saves and dupes. That would allow to apply crazy stretching together with ragdoll stretch and save them properly, so that part with copypasting stretched spy in video is now outdated.

done, it grabs weight data when a phys prop or a ragdoll are spawned and the model wasn't cached, it takes about 0.1 seconds to do since models ain't possible to be read right as the entity is being spawned. probably could've used lower time to be right on the next tick, but we'll see how that works, shouldn't be troublesome for general use

perhaps it all could be cached in a table specific to ragdoll's model, wouldn't require to make a new entry for every new entity if its same model ones. if there's something affecting ragdoll spawns, could just read their data on any new ragdoll as they are spawned "just in case". gonna look into it today, thanks

@PenolAkushari try to spawn a ragdoll at origin 0 0 0 Entity:Activate() then get default weight
remove after 1 frame

i haven't found much ways to get default weight for physical parts of a ragdoll other than getting all of the weights and saving them in some table when a ragdoll is interacted with or spawned.

such method also may not work well if there's some other addon that may be altering weights before the tool would grab the "default" weight data, so i didn't really bother looking into that

Will there be any way I can revert the ragdoll's weight back? Ik the video says it doesn't, but will there be one?

check out my addon https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3221350573
it removes limit of ragdolls,so you can stretch ragdolls with physgun

You probably would need to use physical properties stuff instead to control buoyancy

Why does it still make them float in water, how do you not make them float in water?
