How do I attach a accessory/item to a starter character rig?

Hello, this is my first post on here and I have only very basic knowledge for scripting but decent animating.

I want to create a simple game where the players avatar in game has custom animations along with a sword they are carrying in their hand. What I want to do is replace all of the starter character animations with the new animations that include a sword but I am not sure how I can attach this sword onto the characters rig so it can be animated.

I know how to attach a weapons handle on to a r15 character rig and then animate it but I don’t know how to add this bodyattachment onto the starter character.

Please explain all the steps needed for this and I will try my best to do this. Thank you

A simple solution would be that you could make the sword a tool and have the player equip said tool. Moving their hand via an animation will move the tool along with it.

Not too sure if this is what you are trying to achieve.

Or he could use Motor6D if he is trying to attach it but not have it like equipped. Welds are good too.
