Make Equipment show

[Hemske]

Can someone plz tell me how i can make the equipment show on the unit, like weapons, armor, shields, helmets and shoes. And not from the start , but when the unit aquires the item in-game.

It isn't possible, unless you have a naked custom mdx of a unit, an mdx for every seperate armor piece(which you will attach via the special effect trigger) and custom weapons(which you will attach the same way)

Can you show it in a trigger? Its so boring in rpg´s when u get new items and u cant see them.

Dude, first you need a naked hero mdx(which you don't have), a mdx for every armor model(shoes, chest, helmet, etc) and an mdx for your weapons, without those there is really no point in triggering anything, but if you insist:

Event - Unit acquiers an item
Condition - Acquiered item equal to HELMET
Action - Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the head of YOURHERO using YOURHELMET.mdx

Ty for the trigger. I know that i dont have an naked .mdx cuz i need a special one for that, and an .mdx for the equipment, but thers no one who says i cant get it either...

Of course not! You can do anything you want if you put enough effort in it
If you need any more help feel free to ask me

Actually remove weapons is extremely easy. Armor is just a bit more work. I believe theres a tutorial for it, let me look around.

Ah, found it.

This is how I learned to do it. Its very helpful (and thankfully very short)

Dude, you can't remove armor, they are made so they are non-removable(for most units anyway). If you remove armor, you'll just get a strange blob of brown

Thing you called "making show something on unit" is attachment
Like a spinning orb shows up in your weapon when you get an orb
look in object editor to learn how to do it
and make it display a weapon instead of orb in hand instead of weapon

For armor

I use weaponless peasant
no armor(just a cloth), no weapon, good attack animation

Very true, the armor is actually the skin. So if you simply remove the armor geoset, then you practically deleted the model. Most of the time to get rid of armor you need to reskin the model.

Yea you guys do everything with triggers. You have attachtments for pit sake.

Oh god. Knowledge seems to have avoided this thread.
First off, base ability on Item Attack Bonus (+1) , then change its art fields to match your imported weapon. After that, add that ability to the item, when item is picked up it will automatically show the attachment.
