Backhand Weapons

[ShenLong Kazama]

How can i make a unit wield weapons backhand?

 

[Miles111]

Model edit the attachment and reverse it so the weapon is facing the opposite direction.

How that?

Use Model Editor, there's no other way.

First of all, the weapon should be a separate model, then just attach it to his other hand, via triggers or abilities like sphere

i believe you have to edit the animations of the model.'i haven't done it, but maybe i could give it a try...

 

[ShenLong Kazama]

So do you have found any solutions?

This is what i think you mean.

i made a ability who made every unit who got the ability gets a weapon in the back hand

sadly the ability it is based on make a green cloud to the atted unit but you can just use another as base ability (must be a non hero ability)

also i used a footman to show so the sword is on his shield maake sure it dont has something there allready

backhand means the hand goes back. this refers to animation. it's not referring to opposite hand, alternate hand, different hand, etc. but a direction of movement.

if original poster meant simply he wants the weapon in the other hand then his english is very bad. i think backhand means he wants the weapon to swing out in a different way from the usual attack animation.
this is kinda normal backhandhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RORTYH588cE
this is kinda hardcore backhand...your back is to the opponent.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSEL0V5RXwE

i am sure the normal backhand is possible in warcraft 3...as for the hardcore backhand, it is also likely possible but much more tricky to do. either case requires some re-animation of the model(s).

No no, i mean like this:



I created the picture via Photoshop.

 

[SanKakU]

hmm...i don't really know how that works. it's gonna have to do with the model editor i guess, though.

 

[Adiktuz]

I think you will seriously need to modify the animations of the unit so that it will have an animation which will support the backhand alignment of the weapon...

 

[Tauer]

You mean like this?

Turning the weapon is easy, this is just a quick crappy one. The hard part would be to make animations that would fit that style of combat.
