Hi, I'm a bit confused with the agentlayer node: I'm following the zombie tutorial for 18.5 on Vimeo, so I created a cone to be used as hat and to be attached to the head bone as seen in the video.
Of course nodes are different as Houdini version are, but I cannot do the same in H20.
In other words, how do I attach a shape to a bone in agentlayer node? Is it supposed that shapes name should be in the shape name list?

Is that network correct? I mean, I import the cone I want to attach to default layer agent, so I can create new agent variations, but when I have to bind the cone to the bones, I cannot see its name in the shape name list.
Thank you

Or, in other words, where is this part about inserting a SOP path (the picture if from the video using Houdini 18):

I think the equivalent is using the Shape Bindings tab near the top (setting the Transform Name to the joint to attach to). See also: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/crowds/diversity.html#adding-static-shapes [www.sidefx.com] and https://vimeo.com/681436612 [vimeo.com]

Yeap, it's that.
At the beginning, I thought the node would act in a "general" way, ie all the props attached to different bones of the agent in one node, but, after watching a video in which Michael showed the new node, thanks to a suggestion in the Houdini Discord server, I've finally understood the design of that node.
Anyway, thank you for your answer and the useful links!

Hello I'm doing the same tutorial and I'm also confuse by the new agentlayer SOP. Could you help me figuring that out? I watched the tutorial and page you mentioned but still can't make work properly....
Any help would be really appreciated, as I'm stuck on this pb since a few days now .
