Bloodsword.MDX

here is another way to do it (may be harder)

Special effect - create a special effect attached to the [[Weapon - if hero] [hand [Left/Right - if unit]] of (triggering unit) using Bloodsword.MDX

--> this can be used easily with items
(unit acquires an item --> special effect)

ty for explanation morro it really really helped

Since nobody is getting it correct, let me tell it for you guys.
Make an ability, using Defense Bonus +1 (item ability)
Make 'Target Art' the sword up here.
Make 'Art - Target attachments' 1
Make 'Data - Defense Bonus' 0
Make 'Art - Target Attachment Point 1' two strings with add string. The first string should be 'Hand' and the second 'Left' or 'Right'

Then add the ability to an item and he should hold it when you pick up the item, and put it away when you drop it.

i followed final_fantasies directions, and i still dont get it...

U can also remake a aura

It is an easier way (I think its easier), u only change on the item that is the sword (Make it an item), give the item an ability, it doesn't need to do anything, f.ex. use critical strike, and change art - target to the sword model, and change attachment point to (left hand, right hand, hand etc), u can also change the item model but then u need to do some other stuff to be able to pick up

im not an expert, but i think you would do it as a special effect with trigger. as i said, i'm not an expert, this is just what i think

How do you attach the sword to the model you want?

awsome sword
