Throwing Giant Vegetables

[skittles sour]

I'm trying to make giant vegetables throwable, and I copied several functions from the waterbaloon prefab to test it out, however, when I equip one, the "toss" option doesn't appear. I think it has to do with the giant vege being a heavy item, but I checked the component actions for complexprojectiles and it seems that it shouldn't matter and that all the checks should go through... Does anyone have any clue why?

AddPrefabPostInitAny(function(inst)
	if not inst:HasTag"oversized_veggie" or not inst:HasTag"waxable" then return end 
    inst:AddComponent"reticule"
    inst.components.reticule.targetfn = ReticuleTargetFn
    inst.components.reticule.ease = true
    
    if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then return end

	inst:AddComponent"complexprojectile"
    inst.components.complexprojectile:SetHorizontalSpeed(15)
    inst.components.complexprojectile:SetGravity(-35)
    inst.components.complexprojectile:SetLaunchOffset(GLOBAL.Vector3(.25, 1, 0))
--    inst.components.complexprojectile:SetOnLaunch(onthrown)
    inst.components.complexprojectile:SetOnHit(OnHitWater)
end)

I believe it has to do with it not using the hand slot as it's equip slot, it equips into the body slot, and throwables should always be in the hand slot.

The throw action maybe be related to the hand slot? Try taking a look at the actions. Although I believe you have already done so

@TheSkylarr is correct, EQUIPPED component actions are only called from the hand slot.

Spoiler

function PlayerActionPicker:GetLeftClickActions(position, target)
  ----
  local equipitem = self.inst.replica.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS)
  ----
	elseif equipitem ~= nil and equipitem:IsValid() then
		actions = self:GetEquippedItemActions(target, equipitem)
	end

 

As you can see, it checks for the equipped item in the handslot. You can either set the equipslot of the veggies to the handslot or you hook the PlayerActionPicker:GetLeftClickActions function and add the case of an equipped veggy.

I'm impressed with your effort to help
