item that transforms the character while held

[Wolf_EX]

I made an item that changes the character while equipped, but i can't figure out how to change it back to the original character.  On the OnEquip function I use "owner.AnimState:SetBuild" which works fine, but I don't know what to add to the OnUnequip function to change it back to the original build.  If I could get the name of the character, I could set the build back to that, but I couldn't find any code that does that.  Closest I found was printing "ThePlayer" show and id and name of your character but couldn't figure out how to get just the character name.

I found a solution.  If anyone is interested I used the HasTag function to find out which character the player is.

owner.prefab returns the prefab which is also the build for stock characters.

Thanks! this makes my code look so much cleaner.  I have one more question.  If I load a game while the item is equipped, it shows the character image instead of the new one.  I tried to fix it with an OnLoad function but having an issue

local function onload(inst, owner)

    print("loaded")
    if inst.components.equippable:IsEquipped() then
    
        owner.AnimState:SetBuild("wilton")
    end
end

The onload function is getting called since it's printing "loaded" to the console but the "if inst.components.equippable:IsEquipped()" isn't returning true.  Maybe it's not considered equipped until after the onload function is called?
