Custom weapon is invisible when equipped in hand

[doraexplora]

This is the code for my weapon:

local assets = {
    Asset("ANIM", "anim/stick.zip"),
    Asset("ANIM", "anim/swap_stick.zip"),
}

local prefabs = 
{
}

local function OnEquip(inst, owner)
    owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_stick", "swap_stick") 

    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 function thingory()
    local inst = CreateEntity()
    
    inst.entity:AddTransform()
    inst.entity:AddAnimState()
    inst.entity:AddNetwork()
    inst.entity:AddSoundEmitter()
    
    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)
    
    inst.AnimState:SetBank("stick")
    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("stick")
    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")
    
    inst.AnimState:SetBank("swap_stick")
    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("swap_stick")
    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")
    
    inst:AddTag("sticky")

    MakeInventoryFloatable(inst, "small", 0.05, {1.2, 0.75, 1.2})
    
    inst.entity:SetPristine()
    if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return inst
    end
    
    inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
    inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "stick"
    inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/stick.xml"
    
    inst:AddComponent("equippable")
    inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip(OnEquip)
    inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip(OnUnequip)
    
    inst:AddComponent("inspectable")
    
    inst:AddComponent("finiteuses")
    inst.components.finiteuses:SetMaxUses(40)  --- Durability
    inst.components.finiteuses:SetUses(40)    
    inst.components.finiteuses:SetOnFinished(inst.Remove)
    
    inst:AddComponent("weapon")       
    inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(34)  ---Damage

    MakeHauntableLaunch(inst)
    
    return inst
end

return Prefab("stick", thingory, assets, prefabs)

Based on your: Asset("ANIM", "anim/stick.zip"), Asset("ANIM", "anim/swap_stick.zip"),

I infer that you've separated the folders for "on the ground" and "in hand" and created two different scml files.

The main control for displaying the item in hand is: owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_stick", "swap_stick") The last three parameters represent ("replacement position", "build name (in your case, it's definitely "swap_stick")", ("the folder where the image to be displayed under this build is located").

Please ensure that the folder name is indeed "swap_stick".

In the swap_stick scml, name the animation in the bottom right corner as "BUILD".

The following: inst.AnimState:SetBank("stick") inst.AnimState:SetBuild("stick") inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")

inst.AnimState:SetBank("swap_stick") inst.AnimState:SetBuild("swap_stick") inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")

The bottom three lines are unnecessary and can be removed. The swapping is directly handled by owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_stick", "swap_stick"). Just keep the top part, which is used to display the animation when the item is on the ground. Please ensure that the bank name "stick" and the animation name "idle" in the bottom right corner of your scml match your code.
