Check active / held item?

[mortenbroesby]

Has anyone figured out how to check which item is active / ready to be placed?

I am trying to check if the held item has the tag "wallbuilder", but all my testing either crashes the game or does not register true...

inst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(var)

 

var must equal one of global EQUIPSLOTS

Thank you HeavenFall

 

In the end, the following worked:

local active_item = GLOBAL.GetPlayer().components.inventory:GetActiveItem()if active_item thenif active_item:HasTag("wallbuilder") then...

What about hiding the shown hover icon when a placable item is active? For example when a wall is held (active), it shows the wall icon on the cursor. I have been searching the prefabs dry for the base code :/

It is defined in the prefab file using the MakePlacer() function

Just to be clear, I am talking about the image that shows here:

 

 

Not the green silhuette. Sure it's still the MakePlacer I need to look into?

Ah no, the makeplacer is for the green thingy. No idea about icon.
