Item Help Needed

[wymario]

Guys I'm new to SFM, and I want to equip different weapons to use for my movies. Help me?

just spawn the model of the character you want to use, then spawn the weapon you want. hit the plus sign next to both model and weapon and keep expanding till you find a bone/flex labeled "weapon bone". (both character and weapon has one) there is a little empty box next to the bone names. highlight the weapon bone on the character and hold the left mouse button on the box next to the name and drag it to the box next the weapon bone on the weapon model.

now look at the list of sliders to the right of the models (default, zero, half, one, etc) click on the "weapon bone" on the weapon model and go to the "zero" slider and slide it all the way to the right. (do this in the motion editor) the weapon should move into the characters hand.

NOTE: you can always fine turn the position later. since the weapon is now locked to the hand and movement of the hand will cause the weapon to move as well.
