Weapon Model Help

[FNVModder2012]

So i want to make a weapon that is essentially liek a superpower, so when you LMB it will have an effect such as knockback or somethign like that. All that i can do but teh one thign im stuck on is making the weapon Invisible. Do i have to disable the model or something? o.O

The way that I would figure would be maybe to have the first person and third person weapon model point to a blank .nif file or retexture an existing weapon with transparent textures. I don't know how to do the transparent textures but for the blank nif file I think what you could do is just quickly make a blank .nif file but use the nifskope data of an existing item. Essentially doing a weapon remodeling with a .nif file with either no actual model or a very tiny model if needed.

 

Sorry I don't know myself from the get-go exactly how to do it but I'm sure it's possible. There are many mods here that remodel existing weapons but use the same nifskope data like collision or weapons animations so it should be possible to do the same thing but with a blank (or close to blank) .nif file.

 

Edit: Just found this mod in the nexus: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/37057

 

Adds a bunch of superpowers using standard animations but no weapon models, similar to what we're talking about I think. So my suggestion would be to look over the mod and maybe learn who they did it.
