Tutorial on how to rig/make custom weapons for GTA SA?

[joewinko]

Is there a tutorial on how to make custom weapons for GTA SA? I just need to know how to rig the objects so they stay in the characters hands.

Also, is there a way to make some weapons invisable? like an invisable knife?

import an existing weapon model,

then merge your weapon model mod to this scene and bring it in same position as the existing weapon

so that the handle is at same position

 

then select vertex mode, select all vertex of the old existing model and move them out of the spot

 

then attach new mod model to old exiting model

select "Match material to Material IDs"

 

then delete all vertex of old existing model

 

then give textures and make uv mapping

 

save it and export it
