Bodygroup
Bodygroups are a feature of the Source Engine that allow a model to turn off certain areas, which enables for new, seperate models to take their place. Bodygroups do not alter hitboxes, they are merely a cosmetic feature. Bodygroups are used frequently on several items in Team Fortress 2 to add or take away from player and weapon models when needed. Bodygroups are also the primary factor that allows for hats to be equipped on most classes.

Bugs
- Items that turn off specific bodygroups will not cast a shadow.
- Occasionally, bodygroups will disappear, leaving empty space on the model.
- Occasionally, items will fail to turn off the default bodygroup, leading to the original group clipping into the replacement model.
Update History
- When the table is done I'll fill this in.
