ok, complex one here

lets say i have a body, that body will be just a head, body and legs and arms, now I want for when the user chooses an item or weapon, the item gets glued to the corresponding arms hand, and then glues the correct part of the hand, without massive work on each and every peice, how do I do this.

And then which would be easier and healthier for a game, have an object like a goblet and then glue a gem onto it from all sides, or two objects, gemmed and not gemmed. and so on?

You should be able to use the LIMB POSITION X/Y/Z commands to find the world position of the limb you want to glue to. Position the object at that position, rotate it with LIMB ANGLE X/Y/Z, and glue it.

This would depend on how many different combinations of the same object you need. If you just need one version with the four gems and one with none, make them seperate models. If you will need more variations than that, you should use a procedural method (like gluing the gems) to make them.
