For my current map, I am trying to give the electrostaff to the Militia Elite. I can load the Magnaguard with the staff no problem, but if I give the weapon to the Elite I get a CTD with the following error
I believe the reason you get that is because the normal unit (when given a double bladed something) does not have the animations to support it. Add a line in the unit odf that looks like this:
exactly, you always have to use the combofile (which defines the attacks etc.) in combination with its animationset(which contains the needed animations) or make a custom animationset/combofile.
