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!
