Knives / vibroblades

How would I go about creating a knife? I've got L-5-R's TNT knife.

I've tried changing the GeometryName entry in a lightsaber's ODF to load the knife's MSH, but I get a severity-3 saying that it can't find the firepoint "hp_fire".

Try starting with the Gammorean ax, then change the geometry to the knife's.

yeah, if you use the lightsaber's odf and just change the geo name, it will try to stick a lightsaber blade on it.

Here's an Idea take the ewok spear and make it use the geometry of the knife then you can throw them :D .

I've already done that before; doesn't look good at all. The knife just flies straight. Doesn't have any spin on it. Plus, the knife is so small, that when it's flying, you can barely see it.

I'll try the Gamorrean thing.

EDIT: It's not working. The character loads the melee attack, but he isn't holding anything, and nothing happens when you attack.

eventually the knifes msh is not fully suported to battlefront 2
but it would be nice to have a weaponless attack :)
