Adding a torch to a unit

hey guys,
anyone know how i can add a "torch" to a hero, i did via item and gave the item a sphere ability (added effect torch to right hand) normaly it works but torch is a basic doodad and they ever become invisible on my heroes.

Not really sure if it works (not used that wapon variation system that much), but if items work on that why not try to make new item that uses torch model?

If you want a torch, just make the following trigger that you can mod at will:

events: (you deicde)
conditions: (you decide)
actions: special effect-add (torch model) to (unit)'s hand right

if you want damage, first make an item for the torch that does extra damage.

events: (you deicde)
conditions: (you decide)
actions: special effect-add special effect (torch model) to (unit)'s hand right
hero-add (torch item) to (unit)

This should work
