[General] Attaching Weapons

[Sir Shockwave]

So to get the first line out the way - "Hi all, I'm new."

Truth be told, I've been (slowly) learning Warcraft III modding for a while. I'm more of a Map and Trigger user than a model maker, which brings me to the above topic.

I think this picture on the website is what I'm trying to do with my models (all of which were downloaded from this website, thanks guys!):

Yes, the Banhammer is one of those models. At this point though, I don't know how to attach the weapon to a model. Which I know sounds silly, but it's true.

I apologize if this question has been asked so many times before.

You create an item, add abilities, but one of them must be like sthing:
Art - Target - Modelname
Art - Target Attachment Point 1 - hand,right

For more information check this tutorial out

The attachment name is "weapon" or "hand, right"

 

[Adiktuz]

its better to use hand,right or hand,left on most cases... ^_^

and it doesn't seem to work with all abilities... but it surely works for the sphere ability and the damage bonus abilities...

 

[defskull]

It can used as "weapon" because the default "weapon" attachment for Tauren Chieftain (he holds his axe) model is at his right hand, therefore both attachment can be used

Thank you, everyone for the responses. I'll be sure to do something in return.

But your all a bit late. Special thanks to geries for giving us the Tutorials page! Thanks!

 

[Adiktuz]

I said on most cases, which means not specifically for the tauren chieftain... ^_^

 

[Sir Shockwave]

So I use the left hand with most things then ^.^

 

[Adiktuz]

why left? ^.^

 

[Sir Shockwave]

Your comment:

its better to use hand,right or hand,left on most cases... ^_^

 

[Adiktuz]

I said, hand,right or hand,left (the on most cases pertain to these two, not just left)

but most units use right hand for weapons...

 

[Sir Shockwave]

I see. Well we'll see what happens. Thing's still in Alpha Alpha stage. I'll probably put it up when I have the map in a state I can be reasonably happy with.

Thanks for all the help at any rate!
