| I am currently doing some low poly characters for my Rpg/Tactics game. I want to make a Wide selection of weapons available yet have no idea how to attach a weapon mesh to a animated character Model I am using Wings as the modeler and pacemaker to animate and help would be brill as making 100 versions of each character aint my cup of tea :) thanks |

| parent the weapon to a bone in the hand using findchild() or getchild() i think its something like 1: grab the bone in the hand, you will need to know its name handbone=getchild(entity$,bonename$) 2: parent the weapon to handbone EntityParent weapon,handbone |

| oh and your probably go it, but best before you parent to find the world co-ords of the bone, then move the weapon to that point etc, then parent. |
