<function name="ManipulateBoneAngles" parent="Entity" type="classfunc">⤶
<description>⤶
Sets custom bone angles.⤶

<note>The repeated use of bone manipulation in multiplayer games is highly discouraged due to the huge produced network traffic.</note>⤶

<args>⤶
<arg name="boneID" type="number">Index of the bone you want to manipulate</arg>⤶
<arg name="ang" type="Angle">Angle to apply.

The angle is relative to the original bone angle, not relative to the world or the entity.</arg>⤶

<description>⤶
This example shows the network usage impact of repeatedly using bone manipulation serverside.⤶

To see the difference, type in client's console: **net_graph 3**⤶
⤶
The rotation is not smooth when using <page>Entity:SetNWFloat</page>() because it does not update the value on every frame.⤶
