Dear team,
I export from Blender complete character with animations. After that, if character has object in hand, I want to attach it to him.
If I use BoneAttachment and select "use external skeleton", then the skeleton cannot be found, as my Player object is exported from Blender and it cannot go inside of Player object.

Then I tried to do it so in _ready method:

	var boneAttachment = BoneAttachment3D.new()	
	var skeletonPath = $Player/Bot/Skeleton3D.get_path()
	boneAttachment.set_external_skeleton(skeletonPath)
	boneAttachment.bone_name = "mixamorig_RightHand"
	skeleton.add_child(boneAttachment)
	boneAttachment.add_child(playerWeapon)

But then the bone is still not added to the skeleton correctly.

How did you do it in Godot 4?

I have not tried it at all, but you may need to add the BoneAttachment3D node to the scene first and then set its node path. Also, the node path to the external Skeleton needs to be relative to the BoneAttachment3D node OR needs to be a global node path. You can use the get_path_to function and pass the Skeleton3D node to get the relative path from the BoneAttachment3D. Example: attachment.set_external_skeleton( attachment.get_path_to($skeleton3d))
