How to check if character is holding an equipment

[Gokiburi]

I want to create a character which will have increased speed when not holding an tool or weapon or the likes in the hands equipment slot but have no idea how to check if it is holding something.

 

Searched the internet for a while now but couldn't find a thing.

 

What I currently tried was:

inst:ListenForEvent("equip", function(inst, data) if data.weapon == nil then         print("I am NOT holding a weapon.")end if  data.weapon ~= nil then        print("I AM holding a weapon.")end    end)inst:ListenForEvent("unequip", function(inst, data)if data.weapon == nil then         print("I am NOT holding a weapon.")endif  data.weapon ~= nil then        print("I AM holding a weapon.")end    end)

But the data.weapon doesn't work so it just thinks it is never holding anything.

If someone could help me out than that would be much appreciated.

Figured it out

 

here's the final code I got if someone else is struggling with it

local function withoutWeaponsF(inst)	print("I am NOT holding anything.")endlocal function withWeaponsF(inst)	print("I AM holding something.")end

local fn = function(inst)    inst:ListenForEvent("equip", function(inst, data)		if inst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS) == nil then			withoutWeaponsF(inst)		end		if inst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS) ~= nil then			withWeaponsF(inst)		end    end)	    inst:ListenForEvent("unequip", function(inst, data)       if inst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS) == nil then			withoutWeaponsF(inst)		end		if inst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS) ~= nil then			withWeaponsF(inst)		end    end)end

The equip and unequip events' data contain an eslot (equip slot) variable.

local function equippedWeapon()   -- ...endlocal function unequippedWeapon()   -- ...endinst:ListenForEvent("equip", function(inst, data)    if data.eslot == EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS then        equippedWeapon()    endend)inst:ListenForEvent("unequip", function(inst, data)    if data.eslot == EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS then        unequippedWeapon()    endend)

Tx, that seems a bit cleaner

 

Edit: Hmmm, seems to be crashing if I do it like that.

@Gokiburi Whoops, it's probably cause I used one equal sign instead of two. Fixed it now.

Next time, please provide your log as well. It helps in figuring out why the crash occurred.
