in TF2, is it possible to parent a player onto another player (similar to like a siamese twin)

and how would I do so?

Sounds like it would be very buggy... or impossible.

It's possible, but you'd be playing with fire.

why is that the case and could you show me with psuedocode?

One wouldn't be able to move, as he would be the child. Idk what psuedocode you want me to show, as it's just the SetParent code that is posted almost everywhere now.
Just make sure you unparent the player before the leave the server.

They won't be able to move? That's kinda my intention actually!

It's just using SetParent?

do I use the usual string variant input or can I use the player's client index to do this?

I'd feel more "safer" using client indices than strings.

!activator

just use !activator

SetVariantString("!activator");
AcceptEntityInput(child, "SetParent", parent, child, 0);

Oh also, maybe try making it so the player has MOVETYPE_NONE, just to be safe.

You can't, you will make the parented player crash.

You can constantly teleport them
