Adding weapons to units

is there a way to attach weapons or units to a units via the world editor? If there is HOW?

you can either do it via

1) sfx trigger, which i have no idea how to use :P
2) the bloodmage's sphere ability, just change the model to the weapon model and change the attachment points so they attach to the model's hands

you just need a mdx-file and then:
specialeffect - create a specialeffect on unit
if you want to do a sword:
specialeffect - create a specialeffect using w3mapimported/sword.mdx at weapon on <yourunit>
but the sword.mdx doesnt exist right now you need to model one or get e modelled one

ive made a sword, or almost done, but i wanted to know if i could do it in WE or i would have to add via mdl/mdx can u go into more detail plz

the specialeffect method has some glitches, like sometimes when the hero is revived the weapon disappears and stuff. i still think the sphere method is the best.

you just need 1 trigger to do the specialeffect thing but i dont know if the sphere-method doesnt create a rotating sword

you just need one edited ability to attach the sword, AND you wont run into *ANY* complications. AND it wont be a rotating sword, contrary to your ridiculous misconception.



if you dont know, then dont imagine what could happen. an overfertile imagination can lead to insanity. *nods head solemnly*

ty everyone :D
