Nifskope Parenting

[Cavalorn13]

Heyo friends. I just wanted to ask how in Nifskope can be NiNode attached to another NiNode as a child / parent. I copied some HDT/SMP bones and weighting from one hair to another and the hierarchy in the new one is broken. Every NiNode is like solo unit with no attachments. In original file its like NPC Head -> Azar03PT 01 ->  Azar03PT 02 ->  Azar03PT 03   and so on...

You need to use copy branch to keep structure.

[Andy14]

Use Copy Branch (CTRL + C) and Paste Branch (CTRL + V).

Execute paste branch if the new parent NiNode / NiTriShape is selected beforehand.

 

Manual correction

Add to other NiNode:
- Choose the NiNode which should be the parent node
- in block details put the number of children (Num Children)
- refresh the Children list
- enter the NiNode (the number of it) in Children.

 

Remove from previous NiNode:
- choose previous parent NiNode - in your case top level NiNode (scene root, etc.)
- in block details delete the NiNode from the Children list
- the Num Children does not have to be changed. The list and the number are updated when the Nif is saved.
