Sword Problems

#1 Give you perhaps give us a little more information about what is happening? Is the sword shape itself not showing up when you try loading it, or is it not mounting to the player correctly?

#2 the sword dosent show up in scripted section but it does load as a mesh

#3 The first step is always to make sure the scripts have compiled correctly when loaded. Check the console for any errors related to your script. It sounds like you are wanting to add a sword item to your game; an item you can run into which causes the player to pick it up, correct? If so then you would need to have an "itemData" dataBlock for it. Take a look at the full template under art/datablocks/health.cs to see how it creates the health items.

#4 its not working.and this is the script im using for the sword.
