Jiggle bones are a feature of the Source Engine that allow a skeleton model to bounce or wiggle realistically with the object it is attached to. The effect is calculated and rendered in real time, giving a more realistic depiction of the way the part would move. Jiggle bones are used frequently on several items in Team Fortress 2 to add to their appearance.

Demonstration

Bugs

  • Currently, some items with jigglebones will appear to be fixed at their furthest position during movement. Whilst in this position they seem to vibrate.
  • Items that can jiggle in a circular motion, such as the Holy Mackerel, may twist themselves in impossible ways, making the item appear X-shaped.

Notes

  • Jigglebones will be automatically frozen below a given framerate (45 fps by default), set by cl_jiggle_bone_framerate_cutoff.
