I would like to know how to make it so if you pick up a flower or something it shows the unit holding it. Or somthing like that. Or a sword or something... Any help would be great.

Give the item an ability based off of one of the orbs, changing the attachment point to hand and the attachment effect to whatever it is you want.

That tutorial doesn't help me. I want it so say a unit picks up an item which happens to be a torch the unit actually holds that torch and attacks with it and when he drops the torch item he no longer holds the torch. I tried doing it with the orc banner. I changed the thing to a Torch which is a doodad and everything and i left the attachment point as cheat. The item didnt show up on the unit. I tried it with weapon attachment point same deal. What am i doing wrong?

make an sphere ability, import u'r model, set it in the Art - target and edit the attachment point to "hand,left" (two lines) add that ability to the item u made and voila :)

i use orc banner all the time, I use "hand" as the attachment point. Also make sure the item has the ability or any other stupid mistakes like that.

[edit for post below] True that, as long as the ability dosent add any unwanted side-affects to the hero

it doesn't really matter what ability will u use, the system of "how it works" remains the same.....

Only Rexxar happens to have the cheat attachment you must use hand left or hand right for that

I tried with hand left aswell but that didn't work either...

Heres the map so u can see wat im doing wrong.

BTW, you need umswe to open it and if ur not doing anything the portraits of all the units are gone and the sound stopped working for some reason on it ><. But all i really wanna know is why the torch isnt working. Thx.

Edit: Someone take a look plz i really need help.
