Mount a player to a chair

Hi, does anyone know the steps or a good resource to mount a player to a chair. I'm trying to get a player to sit down. I have the sit animation, the chair and I've created the datablocks. How do I make the chair a rigid shape? When I drag it in, its a static shape. Could be where I'm going wrong. I'm missing some code somewhere.

The chair I drag into the space is a static object. I can't find a way to assign a datablock to it. How do I transform the static object to something else? OR can static objects be mounted together?

When you say "static object" do you mean StaticShape or TSStatic? One is a script accessible object, the other is simply a non-interactive prop with collision.

You don't 'assign' a datablock to your object when you drag it into the scene; you create a datablock for your new object and drag that into the scene.When you say "static object" do you mean StaticShape or TSStatic? One is a script accessible object, the other is simply a non-interactive prop with collision.

We got it working, thanks for your help. I created a datablock as a StaticShapeData, added the dts model and dragged the scripted object to the scene.

Your model will need a mount# node to mount an object (or player) on to it at a certain position.
Do a search for info on vehicles and how to "mount" players to seats.
