linkmaster23	well you have to import a sfx for the sword. then you have to base the sword of the Orc Stadard ability. Then for the target attachments you put right hand, and then for the sfx you put the imported weapon. then TADA

Actions:
  Special Effect - Attach <your model> to unit manipulatinting itm at <attachment point>
  Set Variable <Special Effect Array>[effect_num(int variable)]
  Set Custom Value for unit manipulating item to effect_num
  Set Variable effect_num = effect_num + 1

Trigger 2:

Code:

  Unit- Loses an Item
Condition:
  Item Type Comparison - item being manipulated is equal to <Your Item Here>

Couldn't you do something now with the new buff triggers/editor? Like give the item the sword ability (dummy) and the ability has the special effect of the sword attached at the hand? You wouldn't have to do things with triggers that way right? Haven't messed a whole lot with the attachments either though, so I don't know if that would work. See if you can look at the later bonus campaign levels. I think they have the flag on the beastmaster working this way, only it attaches at the head.

kodorevithoulis	well there's another way, u canget a metamorphosis like ability to the item and have your unit replaced by another one u imported (e.g. arthas becomes an arthas with frostmourne).
