Well, this area is one of the most creative around. You can modify/add visuals to your unit with these w3D draw modules.
I will go back to my hero Lightning and I will show you how I have made his lightning amulet and more!

He uses these models/skls - the easterling CaH one

Code



    Model                       = CHCM_FN_U_SKN

    Skeleton                    = CHCM_CM_U_SKL

I won't post his animations code, since its huge and not much to explain about it. But it is an important piece of code inside his Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw:

Code



ExtraPublicBone = B_HAND_R

ExtraPublicBone = B_HANDL

Now I will show you how to attach a sword to his hand:

Code



    Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw FireBrand

        DefaultModelConditionState

            Model = CUFireBrand ; the sword model

                        ParticleSysBone = PLANE02 FlamingSwordLightning FollowBone = Yes Persist:HOLD PersistID:80

        End









                ModelConditionState  =    SPECIAL_WEAPON_FIVE ; only when using sword hit show extra fire

            Model = CUFireBrand 

                        ParticleSysBone = PLANE02 FlamingSwordLightning FollowBone = Yes Persist:SPAWN PersistID:80

                End







        AttachToBoneInAnotherModule = B_HAND_R

    End

FlamingSwordLightning - is a ParticleSystem

When in default model condition state, the particle system won't show, so you can only see a sword, however when he uses SPECIAL_WEAPON_FIVE, he gets extra flames on his sword (how cool :P )

The magic is here : AttachToBoneInAnotherModule = B_HAND_R - that means it's attached to his right hand!

;===============================================================================================

Using this same system, I have made him have a different phial glow when doing different things. So it changes to another color when using certain spell :)

Code





    Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw AmuletOfPowerYellow

        DefaultModelConditionState

            Model = Cine_Phial

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlow FollowBone = Yes Persist:SPAWN PersistID:100

        End



        ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1

            Model = NONE

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlow FollowBone = Yes Persist:HOLD PersistID:100

        End



        ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_HERO_MODE

            Model = Cine_Phial

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlow FollowBone = Yes Persist:HOLD PersistID:100

        End





        ModelConditionState = SPECIAL_WEAPON_FOUR

            Model = Cine_Phial

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlow FollowBone = Yes Persist:HOLD PersistID:100



        End



        AttachToBoneInAnotherModule = B_HANDL

    End









    Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw AmuletOfPowerBlue

        DefaultModelConditionState

            Model = Cine_Phial

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlowBlue FollowBone = Yes Persist:HOLD PersistID:100

        End



        ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1

            Model = NONE

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlowBlue FollowBone = Yes Persist:HOLD PersistID:100

        End



        ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_HERO_MODE

            Model = Cine_Phial

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlowBlue FollowBone = Yes Persist:SPAWN PersistID:100

        End





        ModelConditionState = SPECIAL_WEAPON_FOUR

            Model = Cine_Phial

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlowBlue FollowBone = Yes Persist:HOLD PersistID:100



        End



        AttachToBoneInAnotherModule = B_HANDL

    End





    Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw AmuletOfPowerGreen

        DefaultModelConditionState

            Model = Cine_Phial

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlowGreen FollowBone = Yes Persist:HOLD PersistID:100

        End



        ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1

            Model = NONE

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlowGreen FollowBone = Yes Persist:HOLD PersistID:100

        End



        ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_HERO_MODE

            Model = Cine_Phial

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlowGreen FollowBone = Yes Persist:HOLD PersistID:100

        End





        ModelConditionState = SPECIAL_WEAPON_FOUR

            Model = Cine_Phial

                        ParticleSysBone = PHIAL AmuletOfPowerGlowGreen FollowBone = Yes Persist:SPAWN PersistID:100



        End



        AttachToBoneInAnotherModule = B_HANDL

    End

So basically, if you want to mix 2 models, find a bone you want and attach to it another model! :)

Don't forget to use AddModule, I haven't used it here to make it easier to understand!

On the next page you will find out some tricks and useful info...
