Parenting issue

[kendo]

My daddy doesnt love me.

Just kidding i have an odd issue with parenting roots with effectors as shown in your rigging tutorial, i have followed the procedure as shown however it does nothing. I have found a way around it by using the explorer and dragging the child onto the parent however this is time consuming on more complex rigs. Any idea how this has happened, i am presuming its a config setting somewhere.

Many thanks in advance

Best regards Ken

yeah, having the same problem to. Did you find away to do this?

I have this same problem! It's driving me nuts. I built a rig for a spider and when I try to parent two effectors to a null they seem to parent but it doesn't function properly. I can see the connection in the schematic. If I scale the null, the effectors will scale but translating / rotating don't have an effect. I don't know what the problem is : /

I found out you have to go to the first bone in the chain, open the properties, and check Force IK. Another method is to key a translation on the effector anywhere on the timeline. Checking force IK is the best way to go though.
