Attach shoulders to model without WE.

[adrift392]

Hi guys,

I have a model which I am going to use as a hero.

I have a model of a shoulderpad.

Except they came in 2- one model for the left, one model for the right- but of course they use the same .blps.

Now even though I used them as attachments- as in through Abilities-> Items-> Armour Bonus +1 etc, it won't show up.

So I opened up vertex modify and joined them up but when my model does any animation, the shoulders just hang in the air without sticking on to the actual shoulders of my hero.

How can I attach the shoulders to my hero..?

Thanks for the help.

Just attach the files to your post here, and someone can fix it for you in a second, it's not more than a 5 minute fix.

WoW models don't have attachment points, there's your problem

Attach it to the chest bone via geoset merger. The problem is of corse FINDING the chest bone, because WoW models are not user friendly for obvious reasons

and the only way i can do so is by.. trial and error?

Yep

Unless you've got a program where you can view the bones and figure out which one is the chest bone
