attachTo and backpacks

[wok 1]

I remember seeing this working somewhere in the past, but can't get it working myself. I am trying to attach a backpack to a players hand. I tried with the sample code from the wiki just replacing the classname like:

_bp1 = "B_AssaultPack_blk" createVehicle position player;
_bp1 attachTo [player, [-0.1,0.1,0.15],"Pelvis"];

I though that maybe spawning the backpack may be the problem, so i tried placing a backpack on the editor and referencing it by its name like:

bp1 attachTo [player, [0,0,0]];

Also tried attaching the backpack to another object that is not the player, like a table, but that didn't work either.

So, is not possible to use attachTo with backpacks? Is there any workdaround that doesn't involve addons?

I'm stuck on something similar. Using the empty>backpacks list in editor I'm trying put a backpack on a table or even in a building is a mission in itself.

There are several posts over the last couple of days referring to backpacks.

Even though they spawn and you see them they are inside an invisible object called a weapon holder.

It's that object you will need to attach to the player

bp1 = "B_AssaultPack_blk" createVehicle position player;
bp2 = nearestObject [bp1, "GroundWeaponHolder"]; 
  bp2 attachTo [player, [-0.1,0.1,0.15],"Pelvis"];

bp1 = "B_AssaultPack_blk" createVehicle position player;
bp2 = nearestObject [bp1, "GroundWeaponHolder"];
bp2 attachTo [m1, [0.45,0.1,-0.5],"lefthandmiddle1"];
bp2 setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,-1],[3,0.5,0]];

There are other points apart from pelvis - including:

Thanks a lot! I wasn't expecting to get a reply on this thread. I guess I should also thank thetrooper for bumping it and mattar_tharkari for the points list.
