Custom item not showing in hand

[Looper_0935]

So, I'm currently making a mod for Dst, and I'm using the boomerang code for a new item. Whenever I throw the boomerang and lay it on the ground, it shows the texture I want, but when I hold it it's just a regular boomerang. I'm currently in a call with a friend and he told me to wine on here for answers so uh yeah lol.

Have you created a swap animation?

For equippable items it's necessery to create 2 separate animation files, one for when it's on the ground, item.scml, and one for when it's held, swap_item.scml.

How do I create a swap animation for the item? I tried exporting the swap_boomerang animation folder, but it didn't have an anim.bin.

To create a swap animation you need to create a folder called 'swap_[your_item]' in your 'exported' folder. Inside you need to create another folder and name it 'swap_[your_item]'. In that folder you should put your boomerangs holding sprite.

Then create a new Spriter project and select the first 'swap_[your_item]' folder as your root.

In Spriter change the entity name to 'swap_[your_item]' and the animation to 'BUILD'.

Add your sprite and change its pivot to where you want your character to hold it.

Save your project as scml, import the assets and launch the game. It should autocompile the build automatically for you.

Thanks! This helped 100%

Couldn't have done it without you!
