weapon held at the feet instead of the hands

Hi, everyone!

I have been able to make my model walking in the games. However, whenever he picks up a crossbot, the crossbot is at his feet instead of his hands. My character has animation on his hands when he moves, could this cause the problem? Or this is a mount point problem where I define the mount points of my character incorrectly?

Thanks for your help!

Make a dummy object called mount0 at the hand that holds the gun and link it to the hand.

BTW Tim you are making a lot of posts about things that are addressed in the exporter docs. Would probably help you out a lot to read through them. There are even headings for a lot of the things you keep mentioning. It's size can be a little intimidating but it is very helpful. Good to see your making progress.

Thanks. Mount0 does solve the problem. Originally I use other other name other than "mount0", but it doesn't work.

Yeah, you are correct, a lot of the things I ask can be found in the doc. However, I can't say that I would be able to understand the doc well and quickly without you guys' great help. A lot of time, frustration of not being able to figure something out let me post threat into the forum,and strangely I often be able to find out the answer in the doc after I post the msg. But this is absolutely a very helpful forum. Thanks guys!
