Extract all limbs and save as individual files

[Josh]

Just copy and paste this code into the console:

local file = RequestFile("Open File")
if file ~= "" then
    local mdl = LoadModel(nil, file)
    if mdl ~= nil then
        for n = 1, #mdl.kids do
            local child = Model(mdl.kids[n])
            if child ~= nil then
                child:SetPosition(0,0,0)
                child:Save(StripExt(file) .. "_limb" .. tostring(n) .. ".mdl")
            end
        end
    end
end

Sometimes models will have one or two extra nodes in the hierarchy, in which case you can use this. Adjust as needed:

local file = RequestFile("Open File")
if file ~= "" then
    local mdl = LoadModel(nil, file)
    if mdl ~= nil then
        mdl = mdl.kids[1]--[[ one level deep ]] 
        mdl = mdl.kids[1]--[[ two levels deep ]]
        for n = 1, #mdl.kids do
            local child = Model(mdl.kids[n])
            if child ~= nil then
                child:SetPosition(0,0,0)
                child:Save(StripExt(file) .. "_limb" .. tostring(n) .. ".mdl")
            end
        end
    end
end

Or if you want to use the limb names as the new file names, use this:

local file = RequestFile("Open File")
if file ~= "" then
    local mdl = LoadModel(nil, file)
    if mdl ~= nil then
        mdl = mdl.kids[1]--[[ one level deep ]] 
        mdl = mdl.kids[1]--[[ two levels deep ]]
        for n = 1, #mdl.kids do
            local child = Model(mdl.kids[n])
            if child ~= nil then
                child:SetPosition(0,0,0)
                child:Save(ExtractDir(file) .. "/" .. child.name .. ".mdl")
            end
        end
    end
end
