# MWeapon \[IK] Properties

## Overview

All weapons inherit from the MWeapon class and share the following IK properties.

## Parameters

### Right hand

When enabled the weapon will be used in the Righ Hand, when is disabled the weapon will be used in the left hand

### Aim IK Left&#x20;

Aim IK profile to be used when the weapon is left-handed.

### Aim IK Right&#x20;

Aim IK profile to be used when the weapon is right-handed.

{% hint style="info" %}
The IK Profiles are enabled using the IK Aim Animation curve
{% endhint %}

### IK Aim Animation Curve

Shooteable weapons require an Animation Curve called '**IKAim'** on their animation clips. This will set the weight of the IK Aim profile to correct the pose of the Human body to aim properly

That IKAim is then read from the Animator Controller to set the IK Weight for Aiming the weapon

### Two Hand IK

The weapon requires both hands to be held.

### IK Hand Left&#x20;

Reference for the IK Goal for the auxiliary hand if the Hand is 2-Handed and the Main Hand of the weapon is the right-hand

### IK Hand Right&#x20;

Reference for the IK Goal for the auxiliary hand if the Hand is 2-handed and the Main Hand of the weapon is the left-hand

{% hint style="info" %}
The Auxiliary IK Hand is enabled using the IKFreeHand Animation curve
{% endhint %}

### IK Free Hand Animation Curve

Some weapons like 2handed axe require for the weapon to be held with both hands

Make sure all your weapon animations have the curve IKFreeHand properly set as an animation curve

<figure><img src="/files/pWpg1ieEzuWkGaUUhW0h" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This will set the proper weight to activate the IK for the Auxiliary Hand.

Some animations will require a more refined curve like an attack when the auxiliary hand needs to be released for a moment:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://malbersanimations.gitbook.io/animal-controller/main-components/weapon-manager/mweapon-ik-properties.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
