Without spell? I dont know, but you can try learn "Dual Wield"

Encountered similiar problem with Titan's Grip, while I wasn't able to force NPC carry 2 two-handed weapons at once/two-handed weapon with shield. Learning a spel, adding an aura and so on didn't help at all and I don't know if it actually can be done without some coding in core.

The easiest idea which comes to my mind is creating custom spell, which causes caster to attack for weapon damage with off-hand weapon while playing emote for off-hand attack and placing this spell to event/smartAI with about 2-3s cooldown.

I thought the same but their is no faster way than this

Yes I know. NPC, but you can try create new NPC with this spell (dual wield)

you mean smart ai or as an aura in the creature template addon ?
and by the way nice to see you back to madcraft Filipsons

There are a number of npc's that dual wield in 3.3.5 I.E.

I had it done for some custom guards but I can't remember the flags right now used to have the left hand to attack as well instead of just being there.



P.S.

If I remember I'll let you know.

thanks and I spawn them but they didn't use the offhand weapon so I went to check the creature template to see the flag
but there is nothing so if you can check them you will see the flag or check your cutom gaurd in the creature template to see the flagg

[Filipsons]

Do you have Mang or TC2? Or others.

No, there isn't another way other than SmartAI or EventAI.  phantomx is not remembering correctly.  There isn't a flag to let creatures use an off-hand attack.  That can only be done via scripting it.

I probably did script it in the core I don't remember was like 5 months ago or so... however you can just add a spell to the creature so it does a cast that attacks with both hands a very simple thing to do.

I thought of that too but I thought it will be better to have a flagg or something

[kojak488]

There's no such flag for it and never will be.
