Fixing non-dominant hand with IK

[drmeatball]

Starting a new post as I got the other Q solved..

Third Person Perspective - Opsive

The main responsibility of the Third Person Perspective Item is the correctly spawn/parent item objects in the hierarchy. Unlike the First Person Perspective Item, the . . .

I can't find a single tutorial or example of using a 2 handed weapon that needs IK fixing. Any advice is appreciated.


Here's what I've got..



The IK Target is part of the shotgun and is positioned where the left hand would go. Is any of this right? (I don't think it is.. see below)

Here's what it the Shotgun Inspector looks like..




I have no idea if any of this is right, but it certainly isn't working.

With the IK Target set this is what happens:

That is correct. Is the shotgun equipped in your screenshot? Just setting the target should be all that you need to do.

It specifies the location of the elbow. You can leave it blank. It sets the hint from this page: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AvatarIKHint.html

Continuing this thread for a moment because I think it may be a similar, related issue.. trying to setup a bow but you can see how the arms are positioned relative to the Debug Ray. Kinda going off at a 10oclock direction.

(Item isn't aligned - hands aren't correct so don't want to use wrong alignment data..)



No IK Hint



With IK Hint (for the right hand)



Item setup




Any ideas what could be wrong?

I set the Movement ID to 2 - based on

which was the fix in the video but didn't do anything for me.

It's hard to see what is going on from that image. Are those first person hands or third person hands? That image does look like it's movement set related. If you use the item template feature and copy the existing bow setup does it work?
