Weapon/attachment nodes etc

Hi community!
This thread is a bit of a gamble where i would put it since its regarding a graphical thing but also
specific to T3D.
I have studied the character / weapon(rocketlauncher)availiable in the engine for how
to attach weapons to it. I found the mount node alright it dosent look like anything is
wonky, however i would like to ask if there is any additional things that need to be added,
if there is a certain name i need to use for the node aka mount node mount0 equals mounting
on the mount0 node on the gun etc.
For example: i want to mount one axe in each hand would i simply make two axes, one with a node
called mount0 and the other one with mount1?
Very new to the use of nodes.
To Torque's future, cheers!
Kind regards

%player.mountImage(AxeImage, 0);
would mean that i wanna mount that certain image on mount point with the number 0?

if say i wanted to mount a shotgun to my character using both hands is it as simple as this:
%player.mountImage(AxeImage, 0, 1);
or is there anything else i need to consider?
kind regards

to achieve this, do the following
1;mount weapon to right hand,
2;left hand then mounts to a named node on the weapon where the left hand should be.
easy peasy

you cant directly mount both hands to a single weapon.to achieve this, do the following
1;mount weapon to right hand,
2;left hand then mounts to a named node on the weapon where the left hand should be.

So for your 2 axe example, each axe has a "mountpoint" - infact you can use the same axe model, and you mount them on the character's nodes "mount0" and "mount1".
