Hullo, welcome to the Hive.
There is an ability called sphere under Human -> Units
Change the art of it to your weapon/armor.
Under where it says Art - Attachment points, delete all of those.
If its a weapon, it will usually be hand for one string, and then right or left for the other. You have to make 2 strings.
If it is armor, you only need one, which is chest.

How to: Attach a Model or an Effect to a Unit is an excellent introduction to the basics of weapon attachment, the included solutions are the easiest way to do it. If you are familiar with triggers and WE's Object Editor you should be able to follow along.

Editing the models themselves is a far more complicated process.

im verry fimilliar with object editor , but once again i dont know how to use triggers at all:p , dont even know where to change em , cause i see pictures of triggers , but i never seen em before, and thanks both , i'll try it out and see if it works :wink:

yay it works wth the ability , but for now only left and right had , cause thats hand,left
but what about head or chest , will that just be : head or : chest??

edit: i found out that its just the word :head for the attachment, but allot of head wont fit my model , so the helmet is too low or too high , is there a way i can change it to the right hight? and size?..thanks

Why does everyone use sphere as a base its easier to just use claws of attack with a weapon or like frost shield for a shield so you get the model and effect
