Adding Idle Anim [SOLVED]

[suteneko]

I was making custom items using Wickerbottom's books as a base when I came across this issue: the items go invisible with no name when dropped on the floor.

I figured out what was causing the items to disappear but am not sure how to go about fixing it.

inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation(def.name)

This is the code for the "idle" animation. I copied and pasted the anim zip file for Wickerbottom's books and changed the names to my needs since I wanted to use the same "reading" animation. Since the "idle" animations were each individual book's name they are now obsolete with my name changes. I thought to edit the scml file myself but I couldn't get ktools to work to get said scml file.

That brings us to: is there a way to get around this problem?

I was thinking maybe I can override the base anim zip just for the idle animations (I'd have a separate anim similar to "swap" for equippables that'd be used only so the items show up on drop), but I have no idea if that is actually doable. If it is I would appreciate any help in doing so.

Alternatively, if anyone else is able to get the scml file out of the anim zip then I can freely work with that and get everything in place. If that's possible I've attached the file.

I used your files and decompiled it to get an scml. I've attached that spriter project, hope this helps

Thank you so much! I'll start working with it now to see if I can work it out!

EDIT: Okay! I got it to work properly and now there are zero issues! Thank you so much!
