Weapons?

[SuiCidAl-KiSmEt]

I played this one map called Orc Gladiators were there was a pop up and asked what weapon to choose. Then, your Orc will carry the weapon you chosen. How do you just give weapons to units like that?

I think I remember in the secret level in the TFT were the Knight send units that were carrying denominate. Was that done the same way?

As for giving weapons to units, I know there is a trigger that can place items in a hero's inventory. If I hadnt lost my Warcraft CD, I would look it up in World edit for yeh. Sorry :/

I think he meant giving the unit model a different weapon. Placing a item-weapon in an inventory doesn't add it to the model.

So u want the units to hold the weapons?, well u have to have a model of the weapon, u have to add an attachment somewhere on the unit, to give the effect of the unit holding a weapon, for a popup he may have used a dialouge.

Its very easy to give hero's items, through triggers.

Look at the Flag item and edit it... Download additional Weapons Attachments from Web and use them...
Hint : Most commonly used attachment points are...
1. overhead
2. head
3. hand, right
4. hand, left
5. origin
6. chest
7. mount
8. sprite, first / second / third (Only for buildings and Blood Mage's model)

Yah, the map I'm making would need to have both a unit and a hero to switch weapons.
I've look in the Mapping Tools thread and I need a suggestion.

Which modeling program you guys recommend for me to use? I mean which is the most popular editor?

And I can't find the listfile for the WarCraft.mpqs. I tried Google, but got nothing.

'Kismet, for integrated *.mpq listfile I suggest you getting the WC3 Model Editor (http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Tools&ID=100&sid=) although when dl'ing hte thing I advise to do it through FTP. It may solve you model editing issues as well. ;)

For a WC3 *.mpq list file head yourself here (direct dl', btw) (http://zezula.net/download/listfiles.zip) and it contains listfiles for all other Blizz's games as well. Beware that if used with WinMPQ you must remove the SC-BW one to speed things up. :)

Should this be added to Tools thread?

Honestly, I don't know it's accurateness since I haven't compared it with the one used by the WC3 Model Editor. :confused:

But I do know that this one is better for SC-BW than the *.txt file that I knew to be used with WinMPQ (read, only 4 unknowns vs. the file I knew which has 6). It's a matter of testing I guess, but I wouldn't hold my hopes too high, providing we already have the one in WC3 Model Editor. ;)
