You got the geometry named correctly? Could be why he doesn't have any

Okay, its ingame and all rescaled and looks awsome, but he only problem is like with everyone else who has tried. i can get effects on the end to work. so at the moment i'm just using a static image which still looks awsome.

It was purple. Who made the previous staff? Was it you Lord-Bandu? Did you give up?
Back on topic, the staff looks good. I would really love to see a Magna Guard use that instead of that disgusting Bulldog RLR.

Jedi animations wouldnt fit the Magnaguard...
Mauls would be OK though

o.o lol my Magna Guard uses the Bulldog RLR for longrange, and for close combat it uses the Electro Staff, this works really well becouse the AI will use the Bulldog, and if you get close or someone else gets close it switchs to the Electro Staff and kills the clones, then swaps back to the buldog RLR and continues shooting at people far away
EDIT: you have to use mauls animations. all the other animations are set up for a light saber with 1 blade, not a double ended staff thing. so if you use someone elses animations, one end of the staff is going to keep and going through yourself when you attack people which will look dumb and stupid

If you didn't already know, i think you will be able to attach the animation to the staff like this:
Code: Select all
AttachEffect = "name of effect"
AttachToHardPoint = "name of hardpoint 1"
AttachToHardPoint = "name of hardpoint 2"
Not sure though if this will make it continuous tho'

wow! eyes popping out, the only thing is that the magna guard's robe doesn't look quite "on" "attached" to him.
