Back attachment tag

[Stefan.K]

What bone should i use to attach a sword on the back of the unit in war3model editor? Is it chest or? Thanks in advance.

You could use chest, but keep in mind that normally all attachment points are pointed to the front of the model, so you might want to find a suiting model for that sword.
Else the sword would be sticking out of the chest.

So not all swords can be attached at the back? For example sword that is made for hand, right, left, can't be attached there?

It's normal to attach those to hand right/left not the chest.
Just to avoid possible clipping through the main mesh or hands.

Ok, thanks all.

On a bright note, you can easily edit in a specific attachment point for back attachments with Magos and MDLvis. Simply create a new attachment as an extension of the chest bone with inherited translation and rotation in Magos, then use MDLvis to move it to where you need it.
