Player shoot and run animations

Hello everyone.
I have a dpm model and i want to control bones without csqc,is there a way to do it?
I tried split model on legs and tors parts and use MOVETYPE_FOLLOW,but its looks bad.

Thanks for reply.
At this moment i am using dpm(converted half life model in to dpm).
I could not find info about tags(how to do it or something else).

i didnt know what 3 argument of setattachment can be bone name. Maybe i can get better player model with setattachment function.

both engines do the attachment clientside. afaik neither emulates it even when the network protocol doesn't support it.
as jjsullivan5196 says, attachments change angles too based upon the attached bone's origin. this is somewhat vital for things like guns following the player's hand, but it does mean that you need to pay explicit attention to the orientation of the bones. The easiest way is to insert an explicit attachment bone (aka: tag) to your legs model at the same position as the current waist bone, but with an explicit+constant upright angle (with the legs geometry following the existing bone).
Alternatively you can attach your torso to the null bone (ie: "" instead of "Bip01"), however this will prevent your torso from moving up and down as the legs crouch and bob while walking.

death animations (where the torso tilts over by 90 degrees) are an awkward special case. presumably this is already an added complication.
