Weapon Parenting...v.2.0

Question

I'll make this fairly simple. In code form, how would I go about creating an origin point for which an object would be parented.(I know about drag and drop, but i have multiple weapons.)

For instance if the right hand bone is the origin point, how would I go about placing a sword there. The code I have thus far parents the object, but it always appears at a strange angle because I added a child to the right hand and parented the weapon to the child. I'd like to do away with this and parent directly to the hand bone.

I've attached a picture here of what happens when I call this code.

Code--- function EqpWpn() {//set check so that more than one barrier can't be cast. var newEq=GameObject.Find("WeaponOrigin"); animation.CrossFadeQueued("Using Magic"); var clone; clone=Instantiate (weapon1,newEq.transform.position,Quaternion.identity); //send message, or add this to player obj code to update barrier hp. clone.transform.parent=newEq.transform;//make it parent. }

After you parent the item, make sure to recenter it based on the parent.

clone.transform.localPosition = new Vector(0,0,0); clone.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity // or whatever rotation you want it to be relative to newEq;

that is my current code. however it still is applied at a strange angle.

Sometimes its really hard to get your local position and rotation correct. So what I do is pause the game, and move the object to where its supposed to be and then copy the values out of the editor into my script. Are those the numbers from a paused state in the game?

I honestly couldn't tell you but i do have some numbers i saved in a prnt screen. However when I place those numbers in, they do NOT align correctly.

I'm still having major problems with this. Can anyone else offer insight? I've done everything this post says, but to no avail.
