PixaL SKulLKid Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Uh hey... so my friend was trying to make a character on her own, using tutorials and i tried my best to help her along the way, but now we've came across a problem neither of us can fix. Everything works fine, able to hop on a world, and see the weapon down on the ground AND our inventory. But the problem is the character holds nothing when its equipped. modinfo.luamodmain.luaareadbhar.lua Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/118772-not-holding-weapon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronHunter Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) This is a really simple mistake of overriding the wrong symbol. AnimState:OverrideSymbol takes 3 parameters: target symbol, build containing new symbol, symbol in the build you want to override the target with. In this case this is a handslot item so you need to override the symbol "swap_object" inst.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_areadbhar", "areadbhar") Edited June 3, 2020 by IronHunter grammar 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/118772-not-holding-weapon/#findComment-1339706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: It didnt work... unless i put it in the wrong spot... Quote local function fn() local inst = CreateEntity() inst.entity:AddTransform() inst.entity:AddAnimState() inst.entity:AddNetwork() MakeInventoryPhysics(inst) inst.AnimState:SetBank("areadbhar") inst.AnimState:SetBuild("areadbhar") inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle") inst.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_areadbhar", "areadbhar") Thats where i put it in the areadbhar.lua, right at the bottom there and it seemed it didnt work..

If you look at your item you have the inst.AnimState:OverrideSymbol in your onequip function, you needed to change that, without your spriter file or folder structure its impossible for me to know what you named your symbol internally for further troubleshooting. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/118772-not-holding-weapon/#findComment-1339726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixaL SKulLKid Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 I tried replacing that line and it still didn't work, would you just be needing the anim folder to troubleshoot more or the whole thing?

IronHunter Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Can you attach your spriterfile and equipment lua file please and thank you, I don't need the sprites or folders at this time as I'll just open up the spriter file in a text editor to see what your build's symbol names are. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/118772-not-holding-weapon/#findComment-1339892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixaL SKulLKid Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 um... this might sound stupid and i know im taking a while and i thank you for trying your best, but i'm not sure what the spriter file is, i have an animation, bigportraits, exported, images and scripts folder. So is the thing your looking for in the exported folder?

(Again thank you for pretty much dragging me through this, but once were done here i should know for next time) Your spriter file or .scml file is in your exported folder and contains information for your anim and build when it gets compiled. The textures are converted into a .tex file. If you want you can either attach your exported folder or your .scml file as I really just want to know what you named your swap items symbol so I can tell you which one is the overridesymbol. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/118772-not-holding-weapon/#findComment-1340189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you change your original areadbhar.lua file so it just uses swap_object it should work. And you can try one of those two symbols. Edit The reason why we want to override owner is because the owner is the player character in most cases, inst in this case will be the equipment itself which only shows its animation when dropped on the ground, it also doesn't have a "swap_object" symbol.

Ive always been putting it right under the: local function OnEquip(inst, owner) This is very odd, "swap_object" is the correct symbol we are trying to override Your swap's .zip file is called "swap_areadbhar" and the symbol in the spriter file is the folder name containing sharing its name "swap_areadbar" local function OnEquip(inst, owner) owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_areadbhar", "swap_areadbhar") owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry") owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal") end Is what it should look like, is your swap file compiling? I noticed it had 2 symbol folders in there one with a texture dimensions of 0 and 0. If you check your anim folder does it exist? Because at this point the only thing I can think of is the assets are missing or their is a typo somewhere. I could look deeper with the mod folder attached as a .zip but first just double check those things. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/118772-not-holding-weapon/#findComment-1340415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixaL SKulLKid Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Yeah its compiling, i'm able to get into a game, and in the anim folder i do see the files. If it's that 0x0 texture than i have a feeling its that... but i'll let you take it and see for yourself (just don't upload it and stuff alright?)
