I chose a goblin battleaxe from my inventory and used "drop item" near the zombie and dropped it.
I asked the undead to pick and equip the weapon, and it did pick it up but never equipped it.
At the moment of unsummoning it ate the weapon and vanished with it, never leaving the axe behind.
Paha, couple of questions!
Are you using the goblin model override featured in Clucky's override thread?
Does your goblin have his weapon hand raised as if he's holding something?
Often you have to do this twice, it will pick up the first one then actually equip the second axe you drop. Killing it will cause both axes to drop.
Nope, no overrides here, and I believe I may have made faulty report.
It has began to seem that undeads that take the weapons, do use them but only when they enter combat. I made a mistake of assuming that it might wield it right away. My bad.
However, it is a danger that if it gets unsummoned, you lose the weapon. The weapon drops only in dead.
