DST character / item mod

[lord2clash]

im wanting to make a scythe that allows you to pick things such as saplings, flowers, ect faster than by hand while still showing the swinging animation... if someone could help me or point me to a guide so far this is what i have for the script\prefab\scythe.lua 

local assets=
{ 
    Asset("ANIM", "anim/scythe.zip"),
    Asset("ANIM", "anim/swap_scythe.zip"), 

    Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/scythe.xml"),
    Asset("IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/scythe.tex"),
}

local prefabs = 
{
}

local function fn(colour)

    local function OnEquip(inst, owner) 
        --owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_scythe", "purplestaff")
        owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_scythe", "scythe")
        owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry") 
        owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal") 
    end

    local function OnUnequip(inst, owner) 
        owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_carry") 
        owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_normal") 
    end

    local inst = CreateEntity()
    local trans = inst.entity:AddTransform()
    local anim = inst.entity:AddAnimState()
    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)
    
    anim:SetBank("scythe")
    anim:SetBuild("scythe")
    anim:PlayAnimation("idle")

    inst:AddTag("sharp")

    inst.entity:SetPristine()

    inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
    inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "scythe"
    inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/scythe.xml"
    
    inst:AddComponent("equippable")
    inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip( OnEquip )
    inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip( OnUnequip )

    inst:AddComponent("weapon")
    inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(TUNING.AXE_DAMAGE)
		

    return inst
end

STRINGS.NAMES.SCYTHE = "Crowlie's Scythe"
STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.SCYTHE = "Crowlie's personal scythe!"

return  Prefab("common/inventory/scythe", fn, assets, prefabs)

and for the modmain.lua i just have the prefab and a crafting recipe added

PrefabFiles = {
	"crowlie",
	"crowlie_none",
    "scythe",
}

-- asset stuff inbetween

GLOBAL.RECIPETABS['CROWLIE'] = {str = "CROWLIE", sort=0, icon = "avatar_crowlie.tex", icon_atlas = "images/avatars/avatar_crowlie.xml"}
GLOBAL.STRINGS.TABS.CROWLIE="CROWLIE"

-- local stuff 

-- Adding recipes
AddRecipe("cane", {Ingredient("goldnugget",2), Ingredient("nightmarefuel",1), Ingredient("twigs",4)}, GLOBAL.RECIPETABS.CROWLIE, GLOBAL.TECH.NONE, nil, nil, nil, nil, "crowlie",nil)GLOBAL.STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.CANE = "Craft a walking cane!"

AddRecipe("nightmarefuel", {Ingredient("butterfly",2), Ingredient("monstermeat",2)}, GLOBAL.RECIPETABS.CROWLIE, GLOBAL.TECH.NONE, nil, nil, nil, nil, "crowlie",nil)GLOBAL.STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.NIGHTMAREFUEL = "Cook up some delicious food!"

AddRecipe("scythe", {Ingredient("twigs",2), Ingredient("flint",3)}, GLOBAL.RECIPETABS.CROWLIE, GLOBAL.TECH.NONE, nil, nil, nil, nil, "crowlie","images/inventoryimages/scythe.xml")GLOBAL.STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.SCYTHE = "Craft Crowlie's Scythe!"

everything shows up in game and functions properly as is however i still need to figure out the code to make it do the things i wanted :/ any help whether it be with the coding or directing to guides is heavily appreciated

For that you would need to create an Action in which you play your swinging animation and perform your buffered action.
