Swords

#1 Hi Ronald,

I can't speak to that particular pack, but the first thing to do for a successful mount is to create a shapeImage of the object. You can't mount items directly, you have to first make a pseudo-object called a shapeImage of it, then mount the result.

The ShapeBaseImageData docs are here:

docs.garagegames.com/torque-3d/official/content/documentation/Scripting/Advanced...

There is an example on that page of what a shapeBaseImageData block looks like, and you will find other examples in your script base if you search for that.

Once you have the image available, mounting it on a character is simple:

%player.mountImage(somethingImage,1);

%player.unmountImage(1);

where somethingImage is the name of your shapebaseImage datablock, and 1 = the mountpoint embedded in the character mesh.

Most models have "0" or "1" as a mountpoint for the right hand--again I can't speak to your particular model as I don't have it. If your model doesn't have mountpoints, you can add them in a modeling program or with the ShapeEditor inside Torque; else you wind up with a mount at the basepoint of the figure.

#2 Thank You for responding... I will research the link you provided... The Sword that comes with the pack is only 4 files... sword.3DS sword.dts sword.max sword.png I see that the other weapons in-game have many more files than that, but I will see what I can do... Thanks Again...

#3 WOO-HOO ! ! ! I got him to hold the Sword... He holds it straight out like he's holding a gun, and it fires bullets, But he IS holding it... LOL Well that's enough for one day... Thanks again for your help...

#4 Now that is no way to celebrate a newly won sword.

Now that is called celebrating a newly won accomplishment! :o)
