I have a retextured glove that I wish to use as a ranged weapon for a companion npc I have created. I have tried to use a weapon such as a mesmetron, added my own object effect and changed the gun model nif, etc. to my gloves data. I have given the new "weapon" to my npc but she doesn't seem to want to equip it and just goes into the hand-to-hand combat stance. Does the weapon need to be added to a list of some kind for my npc to use it? Would it need to go into the armor addon biped model list for the armor she is wearing? Or some kind of leveled weapons list for the npc's to use? I'm lost at this point. Can someone point me in the right direction please : ) Thanks!
