Ok, I made a stupid little model that's i'm using to learn stuff with coding. 1st, I'd like to know how to make my arm swing up and down when I use it. Is it something I have to do in milkshape? Or can I type something in to it's code to make it do that. I know on vehicles you can type the root, sit, talk, and all those commands but can that be done with a weapon?
Also, I was wondering if there was a way to make it so that little electric bolts flew out of tip when it hits something. to do would you change the Particle emitter data or the projectile data?
Last thing is I can't get colors to work right in milkshape. That's not really a coding issue but if you know how to fix it, please tell me.
Oh yeah if you want the code here it is.(it's modified sword code)
