Trying to add a custom attachment point without success

[moosenoir]

Hello there!

I am messing around with the blademaster model and want him to equip armor attachments. The problem is, though, that his default chest works with almost no models on here except like five. Well, I want to make those five work, because they are actually really good looking for the BM. I already modified the chest XYZ to fit most normal chest models, but now these 5 models don't work with that attachment point.

I am using the Wc3 model editor, tried to create a new attachment point and put in the default chest values. Tried attaching to chest (underneath my edited 'chest'), called it 'defaultchest' or 'default'. didn't work ingame, tried putting onto a different bone 'hips' but didn't work. What am I missing here? I obviously want to move dynamically with the body, so just making it origin probably wouldn't work. I can't just add another attachment point under the chest ref?

Maybe it's the naming thats wrong? I just wrote 'hips ref', as I saw all other attachment points were called X + Ref.

Hope you understand the problem here. Thanks in advance

You name your attachment point 'Chest Mount Ref ' and it should work.

it did not work, sadly. Am I doing it right? I attached it to the chest bone, so it's now underneath my edited chest.
