Solved. Thanks everyone

You're removing it and adding it at the same time.

I disabled the triggers but still it doesn't work >.<

 

[En_Fuego]

Well the thing is they run at the same time. Your first trigger adds the ability while your second removes it. So basically it accomplishes nothing. Try disabling just the one that removes the ability.

I also tried that but it didn't work D;

Maybe change (Triggering Unit) => (Hero Manipulating Item) ?

 

[En_Fuego]

That too >>;

I tried that but still no go >.<

Yup, I did exactly as it said.

To attach weapons you can either use action "Special Effect - create special effect on unit at (specify attachment point here)". While specifying an attachment point, type "hand, right" and then make another function and specify "hand, left".
Or you can create a dummy ability which does nothing, (Item Defense +1 for example - just change the Data - Defense to 0) and edit lines: Art - Target (Here's your model path) (you may place multiple target arts in that list), Art - Target Attachment Point 1 (Here you enter attachment points, for example "hand" "right" and "left" in the same list) (all attachment points specified in that list will have the very first top model in the Art - Target list attached to the points) (all the following Art - Target Attachment Point 2 2,3,4,5... for example, Art - Target Attachment Point specifies points for the second model listed in Art - Target list to be attached to them. And so on).

To add attachments as abilities you need to make triggers:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit acquires an item
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (Item-Type of (item being manipulated) Equal to Sword) Then do (Unit - Add ability Sword to (Hero manipulating item)

• Events
  • Unit - A unit loses an item
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (Item-Type of (item being manipulated) Equal to Sword) Then do (Unit - Remove ability Sword from (Hero manipulating item)

If your unit is a custom model, then perhaps it wasn't assigned any custom attachment points. If not custom, disregard this post.

not custom >.<

 

[En_Fuego]

Yes, your model is custom...it's an import. Are you sure you imported it fully and it works ingame?

What ability did you base this off? Base it off "Sphere".

 

[swipe5weep]

try creating a dummy ability for that item.
then in the dummy ability:
Art - Target = Your model
Art - Target Attachment Point 1 = Hand,Left
Art - Target Attachment Point 2 = Hand,Right
Art - Target Attachments = 2

i hope i helped you out

oh the sword, yes, you can see it can't you?

I will try that

 

[kilu8]

I will try that

IT WORKED but unfortunately it only worked on the heroes that had the item in the beginning, once I pick it up with a hero that doesn't have it, the sword doesn't show

You can base the dummy ability off the Item Defense Bonus +1
All you need to do is to make it give 0 defense instead of 1, and check the box saying that it's not an item ability and not hero ability, which will mean that it's a unit ability.

it works with sphere >.< I put a new screenshot up, look >.<

 

[kilu8]

NVM I've figured it out, thanks everyone. All i did was remove the drop trigger >.< it works perfectly now

 

[I34w90_238j]

You were using the same event for Drop Item trigger, which means that it will run at the same time with Pickup trigger. The event for Drop trigger must be different: Unit - A unit loses an item
