If i have a Paladin and I want to give him a sword a bow in the hand insteed of the hammer?

is this possible with the editor or do you need to edit models for this?

Well you can do it without model editing by attaching model to creature.. However, you'd have to have the models to attach made, and the creature probably would need a free hand.

You'd definately have to get into model editing.

It wouldn't be extremely difficult compared to some model jobs (like making new ones..!), the quickest way would be to completely delete the Paladin's hammer, then use a model attachment to give him a bow.


..Also, if you want a Paladin with a sword, there's always the (good) Arthas w/Frostmourne model..

Heres a neat site that has some of what you want.

Take these weapons and add them as an efffect on the hand right say.

However you will need to go to ps and alpha out the original weapon or you will see both.

Also this will NOT change the actual attack animation so if you were to add a bow it would NOT shoot arrows.

Good Luck!

Go to ps and alpha out the weapons ? How to do that, I've made a cool trigger for my map, to add weapons. But I need models with no weapons. If I could do this, it would be awesome. When u say ps, I asume u mean Photoshop.?

Skin editing. It's a way to remove the weapon. I didn't think of it when I reccomended model editing.. ^^;

Skins are contained as .blp in the MPQ. I think the Paladin's is Textures\HeroPaladin.blp (but don't hold me to this). For more detail about skin editing, this website has some great tutorials on it.. ^^
