Melee....

**Tsar Stefan Dusan IV** · February 23, 2007, 02:37 PM

I dismounted Tsars guard, and tried to implement spear/sword combination of weapons, they have models for spear and sword in their .mesh file and I tried to let them have both weapons...
The problem is:
They have models for sword and spear, the game loads, everything is working (with normal attack command they fight like spearmen with the spear, with alternative attack they fight like swordsmen, but the sword floats arround half a meter away, besides the fact that they regulary posses a sword...) I thought you guys can help me a bit with that. The question is: is it really possible to have 2 working melee weapons in one unit? And if yes, how?

Here is my EDU code:

Code:

And my battle_models.modeldb code:

I dismounted Dvor Cavalry's second armor upgrade for dismounted dvor (they only have one upgrade), and everything works like a charm, both bow and axe. I'll give +rep on any help or advice

Thanks in advance, TSDIV

Anyone?

**Tsar Stefan Dusan IV** · February 27, 2007, 08:32 AM

Am I the only one trying this?
Can anyone confirm?
If it can't be done, that is also relevant info, so please advise...

Sorry for bumping, but I NEED to know this

Can you post a screenshot of how it looks? Are you sure you have the right animation? I think that the problem is that you can't have 2 melee weapons, but I may be able to help if you post a screenshot...
PS: I'm not posting for rep, so don't give me.
