How do you attach a sword to say ... A plain Man?

 

[-Berz-]

You attach it by using trigger(special effect) or buff also special effect and attachment name hand, left/right

And i don' totally get your problem D: "sword to say ... A plain Man?"

As -BerZeKeR- said I don't really get it too.

If you mean for instance the villager model then use triggers to attach a special effect to the unit.

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item being manipulated) Equal to Frostguard 0001 <gen>
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the hand left of (Triggering unit) using war3mapImported\crsword.mdx

Here's a list of attachment points and Modifiers:

Attachment Point Names:
overhead (floats over the unit's head, but doesn't sway with
the head as it animates)
head (sways with the unit's animation)
chest
