Player Models and Ragdolls

Player Models and Ragdolls

Personalize your Garry's Mod experience by choosing from a vast library of player models and ragdolls. This section guides you through finding, equipping, and utilizing these cosmetic and functional assets to express your unique identity in-game.

Player models are the visual representation of your character in Garry's Mod. The default models are functional, but the Steam Workshop offers an incredible diversity of custom player models, ranging from characters from other games and movies to original creations. Ragdolls, on the other hand, are the physics-enabled models of characters that can be manipulated and posed. Both player models and ragdolls can sificantly enhance the visual appeal and roleplaying potential of your sandbox sessions and multiplayer adventures.

Finding and Equipping Player Models:

• Spawnmenu: Access player models via the 'NPCs' tab or a dedicated 'Player Models' tab if installed.
• Steam Workshop: Search for "player model" or specific character names to find new options.
• Equipping: Select your desired player model from the menu. Some models may require specific keybinds to activate.
• Bodygroups and Skins: Many custom models feature customizable bodygroups (e.g., hats, accessories) and skins for further personalization.

Working with Ragdolls:

• Spawning: Ragdolls are found in the 'NPCs' tab, often under 'Ragdolls'.
• Manipulation: Use the Physgun to move, rotate, and pose ragdolls.
• Sticking: The Weld tool can be used to permanently attach ragdolls to surfaces or other objects.
• Prop Ragdolls: Some props can be converted into ragdolls for posing.

Experiment with different models and ragdolls to find ones that suit your style. Many popular gamemodes, like DarkRP, have specific requirements or recommendations for player models.
