	Click on it and scroll down in the Inspector, then click on "'''Configure Item'''".		Click on it and scroll down in the Inspector, then click on "'''Configure Item'''".

			Set the ID to be '''<u>unique</u>,''' the name and the other settings as you'd like.
			[[File:Te123.png\|thumb\|Setting the World Model, WeaponOnHand and WeaponSheathed prefab we've created.]]
			Before getting to the others, set the '''World Model - WeaponOnHand - WeaponSheathed''' fields:

			* '''World Model''': will be the prefab we've created "ChevalierSword_InWorld".
			* '''Weapon On Hand''' will be the prefab we've created "ChevalierSword_OnHand".
			* '''WeaponSheathed:''' will be the prefab we've created "ChevalierSwordSheathed".

			For the other settings, you can decide them, but you should put as:

			* '''WeaponType:''' BladeOneHanded
			* '''FPS Animator:''' FP_OneHanded_R
			* '''TPS Animator:''' TPS_Base

			Then scroll down to attacks, here you have to define the attacks the weapon can do.

			For a One Handed weapon there are '''4 Attacks''' and '''1 Charged Attack''', so you should have:

			* '''Attack Types:''' 4
			* '''Charged Attack Types''': 1


			On the bottom you'll have to configure the attacks:

			[[File:1f1 .png]]

			* '''Attack Type Index always needs to be the Element number''', so in this screenshot we're editing Element 0, so Attack Type Index will be 0. The next one will be Element 1, so Attack Type Index '''will need to be 1'''.
			* '''Base Damage''' is the damage this swing will deal.
			* '''Stamina Amount''' is the stamina consumption that will occur to the attacker while swinging.
			* '''How Many Hits Can Sustain:''' tells how many enemies we can hit with a single swing, it should always be at least '''1''', otherwise the weapon will not hit anyone.


			You can look at other One Handed weapons like "IronLongsword" to see how it is configured.

			Then you have to do the same thing for the '''WeaponChargedAttacks'''.


			At this point we're done, click '''OK''' to save. Now you can drop the "ChevalierSwordInWorld" wherever you want it place it. Do it now, I'll drop it in the Cell "Virrihael(0,1)". After dropping it in the scene look in the Inspector for the '''ItemInWorld Component''', right click on the Component's name and select "'''Regenerate GUIDStr'''" that will make that instance of the helmet unique throughout the whole game.

			With that out of the way, we can load a savegame from the main menu and reach the point where we dropped the Sword. You can take it, drop it, equip it and you can make NPCs equip it as well.
