Hi, 

I have a hero that I want to enable to throw spears the way Eomer does. It has the correct skeleton and animations. The only thing it is lacking is a spear object. 
I tried copying Eomer's spear and positioning it the same way for the new hero in 3ds max. Generally I know how to bind a model, but I am not sure how to bind the spear correctly so that it would only appear when he is about to throw the spear. I tried binding it to zzspearspitter bone, but the spear was basically stationary next to the hero at all times. I am also not sure what export setting I should use for this particular object. I suspect it is either a binding issue or export issue. I attached a screenshot to show what setting I use for this object.

Thanks!

to export the spear u don't need any specific settings (2sided is only if objects that are not completly in 3d)

im pretty sure that to bind this spear correctly, so it say hidden, u need to use the same tool as when u bind archers arrows

the "Select and Link" tool

 

once u are on the "Select and Link" tool , click on the spear and drag it to the bone u want to bind it

Thank you!
I just tried "select and link" tool. I bound the model to the bones, except for the spear, selected the spear, clicked "select and link" and dragged the spear to the bone then exported the model. The spear still shows all the time. 
I must have messed something up, so I will try again tomorrow anew. 

EDIT: I tried, but it did not work.
