help-stuck on Greek swordy hoplite

[moksha]

Hi, was wondering if anyone could help with a small mod I'm stuck on.

I want to use a hoplite, no specific model, with only its secondary attack-ie holding a sword/using a sword and shield all the time-not pike/not spear, and showing this on the battle screen.

I can't keep my thumb on Alt+right click all the time so tried editing
descr_units_battle to show just fs_swordsman skeleton
and descr_units to show only a primary attack of sword.
plus the other changes needed to get game to show new type of unit.

I get a unit using spears as swords-which is quite cool as they tonk them around very energetically and lots of beating over heads takes place but after the comedy wears off it obviously is not what I'm after..

There is a model already there which I need to link to get game to use all the time (the one used for secondary attack showing sword..)-anyone got any ideas how?

Cheers all.

nb Aim is to eventually get a "proper" hypaspist so could just use an existing swordy type but I don;t want to get into model editing/3dmAx etc if I don't have to.
