Hello! For those who don't know me (Which is all of you), I'm the guy who's been working with CaptainGoodstuff on a custom gun for the engineer. He does the code, I do the modelling / texturing and other blender related processes such as animation and rigging. My issue arises when it comes to rigging. I know the basics of it, but getting the bones in my model to work with source engine has proven to be a pain.

What I need is an explanation as to how I should set up my bones for my model. I want one bone for the handle, and one bone for the clip, which should then move whenever I grab its respective bone. I know that there are many ways of doing this inside blender, but I need to figure out a way to do this that is compatible with source engine. If anyone has an explanation as to how I should do this (keeping in mind that I have only a very limited knowledge of rigging) I would be greatly appreciative!

Thanks,
Freedan

P.S. If needed, I can provide images of the compiled code for the gun, bone setup, etc.
