NiNodeCopyChild

This is a command from NifSE.

Syntax

(short:childID) NiNodeCopyChild short:fromNifID short:fromBlockID short:toNifID short:toBlockID
(short:childID) NiNodeCopyCh short:nifID short:blockID

Copies the NiAVObject-derived block specified by fromBlockID, and adds it as a child of the NiNode-derived block specified by toBlockID. The fromNifID and toNifID may be the same to copy a child from one part of a nif to another, or different to copy the child of one nif to another. Copies the entire branch, rather than just the NiAVObject specified. Returns the new NiAVObject's blockID if successful, -1 otherwise.

Notes

• Prior to v1.2, NiNodeCopyChild failed to work with skinned meshes (armor, clothing, etc.) because the bones used by the child were not copied over. v1.2 fixes this.
