How do I attach Weapons?

[JimBob]

I know how to remove weapons from models, but I don't know how to attach a different weapon in its place. Or in other words; I want to switch weapons with two models. I'm not sure how to do that and couldn't find a specific tutorial on it. I would appreciate if anyone could help me? By the way, I am using Vertex modifier, file converter, geoset merger and model editor. Any other tools required?

I don't know
But I think you must do a little triggering
Use this trigger
Special Effect - Create a special effect on unit (something like that)
put the model in the hand

Get the model of the weapon you want to add to your unit and import it into your map. Then make custom ability of ´´item armor +1´´ then search for something like ´´attached model´´ or something and put the weapon you want into that slot. Then somewhere under it is attachment point. Put there ´´hand´´ and ´´left´´ or ´´right´´ depending on which hand you want to put it in. You can disable and enable abilites by tiggers. This way you can change the weapons they are wielding.
