Ever try wearing your Katana and cape? Moving the scripted battle katana may mess up your ability to trigger it correctly in battle - so you move the cape several times and then soend time repositioning it. And when you walk it moves too musch so you try a new spot.

Wearable items need to have a touch drop-down box that you can use to choose its acceptable attach point and then it will just attach correctly to that spot.

You mean giving attachments a way to store positioning info for more than one attachment point?

This could be achieved if scripts were able to re-position attachments relative to an avatar, you can KIND of do it now by having an invisible root-primitive and re-positioning all the others, but it's a lot of work and requires you to figure out perfect positioning for each attachment yourself.

If a script could simply fetch a position for each attachment point it ever gets placed on then it can simply remember that position for future attaches.

Thanks for the reply Haravikk. I think it is worth the effort for designers to look into this. Especially designers of accessories. BUT if we ever getthe multiple attachment point feature we have been asking for we would be better off.
