Invisible custom item in hand

[InspectorDave]

Well this is the thing, i've been making my own custom item mod from the begining, trying to make everything from the start, and i have a problem: with spriter i've made the IDLE animation for the item while staying in the ground and works fine, but i can't make it visible while handed. I'm almost sure that the problem is in this part:

 

local function onequip(inst, owner) 

    owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", -- Symbol to override.

    "whip", -- Animation bank we will use to overwrite the symbol.

    "whip") -- Symbol to overwrite it with.

    owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry") 

    owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal") 

end

 

I'm using spritter, the entity name is whip, the two animations i added are "idle" and "BUILD" but doesn't work. Any help will be extremly apreciated.

(While making the animations, sometimes a random image from my image folder was shown, but the image name "wea" "image1" or "f***ingimage", and those names were never in the sript file)

(Sorry for my bad english)

I had the same problem and for me it it worked like this:

 

owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_MyObject", "swap_MyObject")
