Creating Attachments

[crehym]

So I searched this section and all I saw was "How to attach this weapon to my model" - a lot of them.

My problem is, I want to remove a weapon from a unit and make the weapon alone an attachment. I can remove vertices from a model (making the unit weaponless, or weapon alone) but the problem is the attaching point, the animations, etc. So when you attach the model, it seems like the unit is holding the invisible model with the sword floating. I don't know anything about the skeleton/geosets of a model.

I tried to separate the Captain's body from his shield and sword, I did well with the unit but the sword.

You have to move the weapon around.
What tool are you using?
The "0,0,0" point is where the unit will be 'holding' the sword at.

I am using vertex modify and War3 Model Editor to view.

I tried dragging to the axis but when I open at the model editor to view, it is still away from the axis. Take note: I didn't mess with the nodes so I think there is still the body, only invisible.

Can you do one for me?

 

[Deolrin]

Ah.
You didn't remove the animations.

 

[crehym]

How? What tool?

Simply "Save Geoset" in Vertex Modifier. It makes your attachement fully readied up.

Err?

That doesn't work.

Nevermind, I did it.
