Custom item

[Franke004]

Hey , is there any way i could make the item appear on top of the character ? , so the character's fist doesnt go in front of the fist item i made for him.  Thanks.

You use setmultisymbolexchange like the example below

local function OnEquip(inst, owner)

owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_wand_wristbow", "wand")
        owner.AnimState:SetMultiSymbolExchange("swap_object", "hand")

end

local function OnUnequip(inst, owner)

owner.AnimState:ClearSymbolExchanges()

end

thank you , and do you know by any chance how do i make the character spawn with the item and only him be able to equip it or he cant drop it

For characters to spawn with the item usually you put the prefab name in the start_inv in the character lua like this:

local start_inv = {
    "wand_weapon",
}

and for the item only to have the character only equip it put this in the weapon lua:

inst.components.inventoryitem.onputininventoryfn = function(inst, player)
    if not player:HasTag("acharactertaginyourcharacterlua")  then
    inst:DoTaskInTime(0.1, function()
    player.components.inventory:DropItem(inst)
    end)
    end
    end

last he can't drop it well Idk how to do, heard the golem mod has something your looking for.

attempt to index field 'inventoryitem' (a nil value)
LUA ERROR stack traceback:

You'll have to put that code after theworld.ismastersim. Last note is I forgot you need this code:

inst.components.inventoryitem.cangoincontainer = false

I like to put it in my onequip function.

[Franke004]

i put it after that and its still not working , same error

[K1NGT1GER609]

Well I need the weapon lua at this point I don't want to keep guessing what the problem is.

Man I hate this format, either way you have quite a bit of errors especially that components are being called when they haven't been initialized.
