How would I make an item drop/get replaced with a different on breaking.

[PocketPossum]

Hi! for a mod character I'm working on, one of her craftable weapons is a single use syringe, that's supposed to drop a food item after it breaks. It breaks after hitting an enemy once.

Is there a way to make it so rather than just deleting the item when its broken, it spawns another item first? Either in inventory, or on the ground.

Thank you for any help.

spear1.lua used a spear for example but everything you need is here, it'll spawn whatever prefab you replace it with at the owner's feet and die in 1 use.

Thank you so much for that.

One small thing I didn't put though is what enemy. No matter what it hits it'll always spawn the thing i.e spiders, walls, lure plants doesn't matter, but idk if you care about that lol

Uh, my only preference is like, having it drop specific items if it hits players instead of enemies.
Which, if I wanna do that, would it be something like this?
 

local function onattack_spear1(inst, owner, target)
		if target:HasTag ("valkyrie") then 
					local spearspawn =	SpawnPrefab("wathgrithr_blood")	--spawn whatever item you want here!
					if spearspawn ~= nil then       
						spearspawn.Transform:SetPosition(owner.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
						end
		elseif target:HasTag ("pyromaniac") then
					local spearspawn =	SpawnPrefab("willow_blood")	--spawn whatever item you want here!
					if spearspawn ~= nil then       
						spearspawn.Transform:SetPosition(owner.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
						end
		else
					local spearspawn =	SpawnPrefab("spear")	--spawn whatever item you want here!
					if spearspawn ~= nil then       
						spearspawn.Transform:SetPosition(owner.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
						end
		end
end

I'm fairly certain that should work, but I'd say try it out on a pvp server and just spawn in bots if you're not sure.
