Invisible Hand Equippable item

[Kooby]

Hey, sorry for double posting, but the other thread seemed to get a tad too long with the switching of issues.

I made a hand equippable item, everything works fine right now...except for one thing, the Swappable is missing.

There IS a .zip file for the swappable, it's just not using it for some odd reason.

This is the code in the .lua of the item.

 

local assets =
{
    Asset("ANIM", "anim/giita.zip"),
    Asset("ANIM", "anim/swap_giita.zip"),
    
    Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/giita.xml"),
    Asset("IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/giita.tex"),
}
local prefabs =
{
}

local function ShouldAcceptItem(inst, item)
    if item.prefab == "silk" then
       return true
    end
    return false
end

local function OnGetItemFromPlayer(inst, giver, item)
    if item.prefab == "silk" then
       inst.components.finiteuses.current = inst.components.finiteuses.current + 25
    end
    if inst.components.finiteuses.current > inst.components.finiteuses.total then
       inst.components.finiteuses.current = inst.components.finiteuses.total
    end
end

local function OnEquip(inst, owner)
    owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_giita", "swap_giita")
    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 fn()
    local inst = CreateEntity()
    inst.entity:AddTransform()
    inst.entity:AddAnimState()
    inst.entity:AddNetwork()

    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)

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

    inst:AddTag("sharp")

    inst.entity:SetPristine()

    if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return inst
    end

    inst:AddComponent("weapon")
    inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(60)
    
    inst:AddComponent("finiteuses")
    inst.components.finiteuses:SetMaxUses(150)
    inst.components.finiteuses:SetUses(150)
    if inst.components.finiteuses.current < 0 then
       inst.components.finiteuses.current = 0
    end
    
    inst:AddComponent("trader")
    inst.components.trader.onaccept = OnGetItemFromPlayer
    inst.components.trader:SetAcceptTest(ShouldAcceptItem)

    

    inst:AddComponent("inspectable")

    inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
    inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "giita"
    inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/giita.xml"

    inst:AddComponent("equippable")
    inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip(OnEquip)
    inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip(OnUnequip)

    MakeHauntableLaunch(inst)

    return inst
end

STRINGS.NAMES.GIITA = "Giita the Guitar"
STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.GIITA = "Smells like cake."

return  Prefab("common/inventory/giita", fn, assets, prefabs)

The issue is likely within the compiled animation. The specifics for how the Spriter project for a swap animation needs to be set up are very precise, and unclear.

 

From what I can tell, the requirements are this (some may simply be a matter of standardization):

• Spriter project must be named "swap_itemname"
• Animation bank name must be "swap_itemname"
• Animation name must be "BUILD"
• Animation must override the pivot to set where the hand will grasp the object
• Image must be located in a subfolder within the spriter project, not next to the project file
• In the XML of the project file (open the file in a text editor), the line that begins 

  <folder id="0"

  must be

  <folder id="0" name="swap_itemname">

  ('name' must equal the name of the subfolder containing the image)

I remember that this issue has been fixed already in a different thread a few weeks ago 

By the ways these requirements are only for hand held items. For wearable items it is not as strict. At least I have wearable items which works as intended without having to do all this bollocks with the animation named BUILD and whatnot, but for hand held item I never got it to work in any other way.
