"Change weapon"

[Vamtiin]

Hi, is it possible to, as an example, take a Footman and change his sword to an axe using the editor only???

 

[darkRae]

No, you have to edit the model itself.

ok, now I have those programs, exept Maya... 3ds max i already had!

But theonly program that I figured out how to use, well atleast in some areas, was magos model editor. With it I managed to size up a footmans sword and remove his shield... but thats all! Someone that knows how to, for example, remove his sword and replace it with an axe???

 

[cleeezzz]

lol just an idea, what about removing the sword itself and just add the sword or axe as attachments via trigger/item

??? is that even possible???

I mean, its easy to think afterwards, changing the model in the trigger editor???

If you want to remove the sword, you must first delete the sword via the model editor (the sword is just like the footman itself, but the attack animation makes it look unique). And then somehow get the unit with the axe, wipe the unit out except for its sword. (Don't tell me how to do it because I have no idea, but common sense).

You could slice the top of the sword (with a model editor) and add more vertex's this way, when just move these new vertex's to make it looks like an axe.

ok, thanks! I´l try it as soon as possible!

There is a much easier way to do it, then having to learn to model. Just merely alpha skin the footmans sword out (There is a tutorial in the tutorials section, or you can go to hive workshop, and go to 'Requests', and im pretty sure there is a thread with a lot of the warcraft 3 models without their weapons. Then add the axe via attachments! Download a model of an axe from hive, and your set!

Ok, now I have some models... downloaded them from hive but I have a question... how the fuck does I use them in the editor??? I can´t find the unit anywhere in the editor, I tried to use the importmanager but it didn´t work... can someone help me???

(the model I am trying to use right now is a hero, called thief)

[Vamtiin]

ok, first of all... unarmed??? how do I change that? in the object editor???

second... should I use the magos model editor???

How do I add several models into one magos model editor?

The tutorial given, am I supposed to use the object editor there???

 

[SaintMorose]

The tutorial shows adding seperate models in WE not in a modeleditor you just need model editor to delete the sword from the footman from there you can import the swordless footman, a sword model, and an axe into WE and use the tut from there

 

[Vamtiin]

ok, where should I save the models???

Can someone give me a link to somwhere they explain the magos model editor near???
