Proxy what?

[Lean Bear]

What is a proxy?
How can I use them to make my soldier hold another object I've made in O2?

A proxy is a model which says where the driver sits in a car or in your case where a guns is carried on a soldier but not which gun.  what gun is chosen in the config file not by the proxy.  the easy way to think of this is proxy is "where" not "what"  The best idea is to look at brsseb's site's car tutorial the idea is the same for guns.  I only know this by DePBOing a few addons I might be wrong but that's my idea.  Anyway making a soldier looks hard after DePBOing those files I'll stick with cars and guns.

Thanks. I understand it a bit better now.
I will check out the website

Soldiers aren't actually that hard. It just takes a lot of time!

Think of it a s modeling a gun. But doing 5 guns would make 1 arm!! If there is an easier way can someone tell me.
