Weapons (and shield) question (for the 3d units)

[LAca]

Hello all... I made my first rtw unit, and i have some problems...
I made the 3d model (i wanted to make a seleucid legionary that doesnt looks like the roman one), textured it and all..

It works in game, but...
The problems:
-i named the weapons (spear and sword) to primary weapon and secondary weapon, but i keep seeing them both all the time, they dont swap them according to the situation
-The shield- i wanted to make a different shield and i did it, but i used transparent textures to save polys and sometimes the black border appears (that is supposed to be transparent), i made the alpha map and all, it appears randomly. Interesting though, it doesnt shows in screenshots.

If some1 can help me with this...

hmm, the spear and sword one is new to me. Are they both definitely linked to the right hand? Check naming for typos, hidden spaces?

With the shield try increasing the contrast on your alpha channel. Or changing the setting when you save your dds to explicit alpha?

It is a technologically advance weopon prototype: the Spord. It stabs it dices and even protects your hand spear stuck? just push it all the way in and cut it loose with the sword blade.....no more wondering which weapon to bring when you have the spord...
all this for 19.99
but wait their is more
if you order now you get the toilmet absolutly free..
the toilmet is a toilet and a helmet combined..no more finding a hollow log just remove your toilmet from your head and instant relief!! Then put your toilmet back on until you can reach a emptying point!

At this time we only except the Trojan Express card

Yes, hoggy you are right about both things... I have limited experience with 3dsmax and i overlooked the linking in schematic view in the tutorial... I did it now and it works. And with the shield... I saved the dds as dxt5 (the default setting was dxt3 i think) and the problem is solved.
Thanx for the help.
