[Question] Getting swapped druid forms to NOT hold a weapon

[Neverent]

I've been model editing for a while, mostly spell swaps and things. I've done some model swaps for druids, and even reskinned a couple from scratch. So far, I think I'm getting a bit better.

Regardless, my question is this: How do I swap a druid form with a different model, and keep it from equipping it's weapon.

For instance, I changed the bear form into something else, and the new model was holding my staff. It looks silly.

I have no idea how to get it to stop showing my equipped weapon.


My other question is, how can I swap a model, if the new model has more files associated with it than the original? I.e., some flying creatures have an .m2 for the body, then two different .BLPs for the textures -- but the original model (say, the Tauren bear) only has two total (the .m2 and the .blp). Is this model swap possible?


Thanks for the answers guys. I DID search, and I've been reading guides, but I can't find much on the two problems I'm having.

answer for da second question:
u should modify bear's textures, or simply modify the flying creature blp path to the one the bear use
