How to set up a follower morph for clothing?

First, I'm sorry, my old brain.
I'm sort of considering including a posing trunk with my Gino character... so I'm getting the follower morphs set up but I'm, of course, lost AGAIN. My poor brain just doesn't retain info any more if I don't use it on a regular basis. So if I move G8M's leg fully to the side I would then hook up the fix for the trunks HOW?
I think I have a video for that but I swear it's in a folder with literally 100's of video's. I'm sure if was from Josh Darling... but then again I don't know for sure.
Any help to get my brain on the right track AGAIN?
Thanks so much
Richard

You would need a custom morph for both the shape adn the JCM. Apply shape, JCM, and pose. Put the parameters pane in Edit mode (right-click), right-click on the bend>ERC-Freeze, select the shape as the Attenuate By proeprty, have only the JCM set as a sub-component. In the Property Hierarchy pane make sure the ERC is set to save with the shape or JCM, not with the bend. I think that's it.

I have a set of links categorized in a thread in the Art Sudio forum. My memory was shot long ago, and I find it helpful to list a bunch. I welcome suggestions for additions.

do a google search for ERC freeze , there are a number of links that will point you in the right direction.
BTW - @RAMWolff, did you see that one of the links above is one of your own threads? Happens to me all the time.
LOL, no I didn't see that. Just home from work. Will have to do this tomorrow. Too tired tonight... long day. Thanks so much all of you! HUGS
OK. SickleYield helped me understand this with her tutorial about JCM's from a Blender tutorial she wrote a while back.
What I needed to do was of course make my fix morph (I use ZBrush), save it out as what ever name you want as you will change that when your hooking it up, which is actually done automatically. So my current fix was for the pJCMThighSide_85_R so when I brought up the Morph Loader Pro and browsed to my fix morph for the trunks I renamed it to "pJCMThighSide_85_R" and then chose the Reverse Deformations option and chose the Overwrite Existing: Deltas and ERC Links and clicked OK. Trunks issue was fixed perfectly. I knew it was easy but my old brain was just really having a time with remembering.
Wrote down and saved it out a new text file to refer to! WHEW!
