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.

Do not adjust Rigidbody weight, drag and angular drag, as this is overwritten in the json.

You can press the “Setup Default Components” button to create the default components for an item. This includes a HolderPoint, ParryPoint and Preview.

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. In update 1.0.2, this field is no longer required to insert any ID for weapons you usually spawn. However, this is still required for world-attached items and items placed in levles, such as Lanterns, as well as items that may be children of items that are spawned in via an item book (such as a flail, where the ball would be a child of the handle).
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.
World Attached	Used for Items that are connected to the world. An example is hanging items and doors.
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)

HolderPoint

Weapon rack holder setup

Then add an additional HolderPoint on the Item component named HolderRackTopAnchor for the weapon rack, HolderRackTopAnchorBow for the bow rack and HolderRackSideAnchor for the shield rack.

ParryPoint

SpawnPoint

The spawnpoint should be positioned in the middle of the item, rotated like so:
