making attachments

[Zieg]

im having a problem making an attachment work right. i want it to be on the units back, but when i put in chest it will stick straight out of there chest. i was thinking of geomerging them together, that way i wont have to add a skill. only problem is the bones dont have specific names and the new geoset doesnt follow any animations and always ends up on the ground. anyone know of an easy way to do it. im using the geoset merger to do it.

The origin point on the model is in the middle of hes chest usually, and the axis point on your attachment would join directly upon the origin point, thus u suggest you move your attachment back abit and if its the wrong way, flip it around.

ok i went the geomerging route and its not fun. i use the geoset merger to merge the units and weapon together but after its all done the model wont even show up in the editor. ive checked it in the viewer and everything is fine.
