Double handed longspear, how to?

**Phoenix K Guild** · 12-24-2006, 20:32

I have a phalanx unit but without shield just like the pharaos guards, but they use only one hand to use the spear, how can a set to they use both hands?
thanks =]

Assume you'd have to have a non-vanilla skeleton animation, the only two handed vanilla skeletons as far as I know are;
fs_2handed
fs_slow_2handed
fs_2handed_berserker
which are designed for axemen etc. suspect applying them to phalanx unit wouldn't work ?!

The Pharao's Guard is two hand this is the code of they
type egyptian_elite_guards
skeleton fs_spearman, fs_swordsman

My guess would be that the spear in the Pharao's Guard model is set at an angle so it looks two handed, i wish I'd thought of that for some of my non-shield unit's.

oh well to late now.

Actually, that means they have a secondary weapon, a dagger, in this case.

The only way to get a two-handed skeleton for them (or any other unit) is to make one, or to download an animation pack which contains one. Using the two-handed animation (used for the German Chosen Axes, or the Falxmen) with a spear unit, especially a phalanx unit, will just look extremely wrong.
