This might be a noob question but i really didn't know whats wrong with my weapon, it wouldn't show up in 3rd person. I modeled on blender, found out a way how to import it to ms3d(it worked fine) i added the joint and called in mountPoint and did all the stuff i need for flatshading. And it still didn't show up in 3rd person so i thought this had to be a script error.
1st person works fine, here's the script:
(i edited the baseballbat script because it was pretty much thesame thing and i left some of the baseballbat words that were no point to replace)

Can anybody please help? The only problem is that it won't show up in 3rd person.
