i have created a sword, i downloaded a model of a guy that is really good. i have to skin the sword and the guy still. but once im done animating the guy model's movements, how do i get the sword to be in his hand. do i merge the 2 files and put it there myself? but once that is done how do i get it into a game so instead of firing a gun he uses his sword?

im guessing it requires me going into the weapons folder of CoDUO and taking out the script file (i will be sure to copy the files into a different directory of course) and modify the script file to use a sword. so like if u left-click you get a verticle sword slash. meaning i will have to animate the sword slash and script it so when you left-click that animation picks up.
(tell me if im right or wrong on that)
btw im just testing with CoDUO, its eventually gonna be for CoD2 once i get the game

but, wont that make it jumpy? like if right-clicking is block (or guard) then when you right-click then left-click wont the sword and the guys hands pretty much teleport to the new position? do i need to create a animation for between each one of the attacks?

sry if this seems like a lotta questions. im workin on a mod to make CoD2 into a first person swordsman thing with martial arts and samurai and all of that. so if theres a site or many sites that can answer all my questions that i cant find or if you can that would be a great help. thanks!
