Referenced characters

I got an error message when trying to use this attachment script.  "Because it's in a read-only hierarchy." There is a good reason that the character is read only and referenced, so it can be updated at anytime by the TD's without effecting our animations. How do I work around this problem and why can't you attach things to a reference character? I can't import the character just yet, it is still be worked on, refined and tweaked.

    Easy solution: tell the riggers to support the parent master and add those 2 groups above the controls, it takes nothing to them.... If you want a workaround, just create a locator in scene, constrain your child control to the locator. Then use the locator as a child from now on.
