I can't figure out how to get my sword tto mount to my characters hip. I got it to mount to the character side but it does not show up when i change back to the terrain editor

Can anyone with more knowledge then I give some pointers as to where we could place the code to mount a weapon to mount1 on the player instead of mount0 when unused?

Wow, I have spent a bit of time trying to figure this out and I am having a hard time with it. There are multiple threads of people asking for this ability. Can anyone with more knowledge then I give some pointers as to where we could place the code to mount a weapon to mount1 on the player instead of mount0 when unused?

I tried cheating a little bit by creating separate animations with no success because the sword would come off the hip every time I loaded it into the shapeconstructor. Maybe in daz studio there some kind of way to pin the image to the hip

Got it. The sword is mounted. But not in the usual way. I created an animation with the sword already attached. Then in the shapeconstructor i selected the node the sword was on. Then object and realigned the sword to her left thigh. I just kept experimenting. Cool. Thanks anyway.

Cool, glad you got it working but I still think there should be some instructions on how to get a weapon working with holster so I'm going to continue looking for a script solution.

I just created a shape image and attached it to the player's mount slot with a rotation and position offset.

I did a "hacky" thing for this back in the old Tribes 2 days.I just created a shape image and attached it to the player's mount slot with a rotation and position offset.

Thank you for replying Robert. I was wondering when would the switch occur? Could I somehow tie it to OnUnmount of the weapon that this image is replacing?
