Attaching objects to models

Once I get my bone animated mesh going I want to be able to attach items to limbs of the player. Just like the gun is attached to the hands in Tribes2, but in some cases I will need to be able to attach more than one object to the player in different places.
Does anyone know how to do this in the V12 engine? How should I setup the mesh so I can easily do this?

There is a special class of objects for doing this, if you read the overview docs on this site it will talk about them (I cant remember thier name, I think its a lightmodel or something).

Essentially thats it.. you can look for a named dummy in the dts file and attach an object to it using that mounts transform.There is a special class of objects for doing this, if you read the overview docs on this site it will talk about them (I cant remember thier name, I think its a lightmodel or something).

Then you later just attach the othe models to it by using the mount dummies.
