Bodygroup.png

A bodygroup is a feature of the Source Engine that enables specific sections of a model to be enabled or disabled, popularly allowing for different models to take their place. In Team Fortress 2, bodygroups are used in the models of several items to show or hide specific player or weapon models when needed; for example, most cosmetic items manipulate bodygroups to remove the default headgear present on the player model to allow room for the newer cosmetic model.

Bodygroups do not alter hitboxes; like jigglebones, they are a purely cosmetic feature.

Bugs

  • Items that turn off specific bodygroups do not cast a shadow.
  • Occasionally, bodygroups disappear, leaving empty space on the model.
  • Occasionally, items fail to turn off the default bodygroup, leading to the original group clipping into the replacement model.
  • Items that replace a removed group do not disappear when the player is backstabbed by Your Eternal Reward.
  • If a cosmetic that partially covers a bodygroup and a cosmetic that disables that same bodygroup (e.g. the Bottle Cap, which adds custom dog tags partially over the Scout's default ones, and the Bigg Mann on Campus, which entirely removes the default dog tags) are equipped at the same time, the part covering the bodygroup remains visible.
