Giving a creature a weapon, is it possible?

[korric]

Hello all, I'm currently working on an edit to swap my Vargul Blighthound (MageHunterRed as the skin is known) into a blood elf with some armor I coloured in photoshop, I'm also in the process of giving it a different hair style, but priority at the moment is giving it a weapon so it doesn't have to slap everything to death.
Here are a few pictures of my progress:





I've been reading through this guide and found nothing about how to add weapons. http://www.mmowned.com/forums/model-...isplayids.html
Just wondered if adding a weapon to a creature was possible, +Rep to anyone who can help me find a solution to this :wave:

ScDK answered your question you know:

The NPC combat-type equipment is not bound to their display models, sadly. Mainhand, offhand and ranged weapon are defined server-side, in the database.

I've never tried this type of swap but from reading through his thread, that makes sense to me.

Ah, must have missed that bit :P
Well that's a shame, but I suppose it'll just have to slap things to death.
