Item
This component has an Event Linker.
The Item script is the core component for items and weapons in Blade and Sorcery. This component is required for the item to work, and is a dependency on a lot of components listed on the weapon.
When this component is added, a Rigidbody is added to the object, as well as three gameobjects: HolderPoint, ParryPoint and Preview.
Warning
Do not adjust Rigidbody weight, drag and angular drag, as this is overwritten in the json.
Component Properties
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Item ID | The Item ID should match what you put as ID in the Item JSON. Ensure that these components match. |
| HolderPoint | The HolderPoint is a transform which depicts the rotation of the item when stored on a Holder. For example, the Z direction depicts downward direction when stored on the player sides or back. |
| Additional HolderPoints | Like HolderPoint, this allows adding more HolderPoints for specific holders. An example is the Weapon Rack in home, which utilises the HolderRackTopAnchor HolderPoint. |
| ParryPoint | Shows the point that AI will try to block with when holding the weapon. |
| Main Handle Left/Right | Used for the handle that is grabbed by Default. See Handle to see handle setup. |
| Fly Dir Ref | Used to point in this direction when thrown, so long as "Fly On Throw" is enabled in JSON. Z Axis / Blue arrow points forwards. |
| Preview | Automatically added when Item script is added. See Preview for setup. |
| Disallow Room Despawn | When ticked, will not despawn when situated inside a Dungeon room. |
| Hanging | Used for hanging items (like Lanterns) to adjust handling and despawning. |
| Creature Physic Toggle Radius | Radius to depict how close this item needs to be to a creature before the creatures' collision is enabled. |
| Use Custom Center of Mass | Allows user to adjust the center of mass on object. If unticked, this is automatically adjusted. When ticked, adds a custom gizmo to adjust. Use this if weight on the item is acting strange. |
| Custom Inertia Tensor | Used for balance adjustment on a weapon. Use this if swinging weapons are strange. Adjust the Capsule collider to the width of the weapon. |
| Custom References | Allows a custom reference to be able to reference specific gameobjects and scripts in External code. |
| Force Mesh Layer | Forces layer of mesh when an item is spawned (Items will have their layer automatically applied when spawned, unless this is set) |
