To accomplish something like this, you would need a rather precise animation, and two different sword attachments. They would have to switch in and out of visibility using transparency.
You could probably accomplish it using the described method, but it might be buggy. I haven't actually seen any system which does this. It's possible, but the road will be long and painful. _____________________

Actually, Ashes Katana (by Esprite Xavier) uses just this, and it works quite well. _____________________

Hmm... I was trying to accomplish this today, and after frustrating myself a bit with the attaching functions, i decided to do the following simple scripts on my objects:
1) The sword: whispers "attach" on a channel when it gets attached and "detach" when it gets detached 2) The sheath (with a visible sword handle): listens for the sword and uses linkmessages to hide the swordy prims when the sword is in hand, and again show them when it's detached. Not too showy a way, might perhaps be enhanced with some delays and sworddrawing and -sheathing animations, but it works nicely enough for me, for now. ^_^ |
