Hologram Bone Parenting is now possible
You read that right, thanks to a recent update in December of 2024, Expression 2 is now capable of parenting holograms directly to a player's bones!

In this example screenshot, a quick "armband" was made, the model is a wheel of cheese, and it is parented to the left upper arm, something previously impossible.
So how does it work?
The following expression 2 file is a template designed specifically to show you the ropes!
pastebin.com
The file contains every bone in the player's model, indexed into a simple and understandable format.
Although it'll just spawn a cube on your shoulder rather than a wheel of cheese vaguely shaped like an armband
Should the links expire, or you may have any question, I would recommend asking me via Discord for a quicker response time.
