How to add a preexisting TF2 animation for a Workshop Item

[A hidden figure]

I've created a weapon in Maya and I'm looking for a way to animate it the same as the pistol for the Engineer when I load it into the item test server. Any ideas?

Does not deserve it's own thread. This is what the emporium is for.

This belongs in the Emporium thread

Additionally, if I am NOT MISTAKEN--you should be able to replace the Engineer pistol and it animate the same way. animations are determined by the ctx file it uses--which is specified in the item schematics file--so you should be able to replace the engineer pistol model and have it work.

Now weapons are FAR from my specialty, so I could be miles off.
