Post subject:  Buyable armor?

I know enough about actors to know that they can have separate parts of armor surrounding their actual bodies. I know enough about sparkle magic to know that, in the right hands, it can pretty much do anything.

With that, would it be possible to order armor (helmets, chest plates, et cetra) for the actor you buy it under? It would probably have to be sized for a basic body, like a coalition soldier, but could be worn by anyone. If it couldn't be done with sparkle magic, it could possibly be a shaped shield with a strange offset to move it away from the hands (I don't even know if that's possible).

I do not know enough about sparkle magic to suggest how one would begin actually making said armor.

indeed we are
that is not what he meant i am afraid...
to make an armor like the one you say Warlord_of_Woe you need to make them attachables which as far as i know are not accessible from lua...
i think than kyred managed to make something reealy close to what you said but he failed too become he could not make them stay where he wanted
also

it is like a disease out of control!!!
lua cannot do anything it can do a lot of things but it cannot do your wildest dreams come true.
but obviously i would be happy to be wrong...

It can't be done. Even if you can manage to either A: in-engine attach something with perfect positioning it's going to crash the game once it detaches.

If you do a pseudo-attachable, it's not going to get hit nearly as reliably and will probably fail.
