Hello,
I created an object from this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5lyXS-uhyI (a camera shutter) and I want to attach this object to a prop on my character which is already rigged. For that I need to change its location and rotation, and while I don’t have issues with location, the rotation makes issues. Whenever I try to rotate the object, the shutter elements just fly around in unexpected ways. I tried to parent the object to something else to move it around more freely, but it doesn’t work. I am a noob when it comes to constraints and rigging so any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
I want this piece to be a part of a bag that my character will wear on their hip so I need it to rotate 90 degrees and then attach it to the rig. I hope the visual helps convey what I mean.
Hi, looking at the tutorial it looks like the shutter objects are constraint to an empty so you need to find that empty and rotate it, or parent it to another empty.
Hi! Thank you for the response! I tried to rotate that empty object from the shutter but since it is locked for Z axis I can only use it to open and close the shutter. When I parent that empty to another empty object and then try to rotate it in Y axis, the shutter elements start to go crazy, like this:
I parented it to the empty cube and then rotated the cube in Y axis. I’m not sure if I did something wrong or what at this point ;_;“”
Hi, can you link your file here or pm me the link?
i don’t need the character just the shutter.
You probably be able to post it here if its small.
Hi! Oh, I already uploaded the whole file with the character too. Right here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Vfu123iGMfVxSExM-l2HB59_cZf7oXCr?usp=sharing
Thank you for your time!
Your shutter is not in that file check that you have sent the right file. 
what?! But you can open the file right? Ok, I will upload it again
it should be right here, but I am uploading it again, sorry for the trouble
The one you sent didn’t look like this it had the body mesh only.
what about this: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Vfu123iGMfVxSExM-l2HB59_cZf7oXCr the name is different it has “shutter” in it. I saved the file with “save as” should I pack it in some way? Sorry, I never did that before.
o, great! no idea what happened but I’m glad it works! 
Didn’t fine a quick solution, i think you will have to undo all the constraints, then rotate all the object and place them in the right position, and add a bone in the centre, parent all the parts to the bone and re do all the constraints, then constraint the bone to the thigh bone of your armature with a child of. I will try other options later.
I see… thank you for that! I will try to do it this way then.
