Access Equipped Item's children

[maherar]

I wanted to access (Active/Deactive) equipped item's children in both 1st and 3rd person mood.
How can I access them and change something?
Do I need to do both separately or at once both will react the same way? Thanks,

You can get a reference to the item by calling GetActiveItem on the inventory component. From there you can get the visible item on the PerspectiveItem and disable the objects. The documentation has an example of getting the item.

Do you mean here?

Item Set & Rules - Opsive

The Item Set, Rules and Manager are responsible for choosing what items get to be equipped together. Such as choosing to equip the Sword and . . .

It's about finding within one group. I am looking for something independent. For example, I have six items. At runtime, I want to know which item is active, and then I want to activate or deactivate some of its (activated item's) child objects for 1st and 3rd person both.


As you can see, I need to give a groupindex, but in my scenario, I don't have any reference except the active object.

Here is another problem, Just by copy past, facing this issue as well.

That documentation is for version 3. If you're on version 2 the pdf has the syntax. In version 3 it is GetActiveCharacterItem: https://opsive.com/support/documentation/ultimate-character-controller/items-inventory/inventory/

The itemSetManager.GetActiveItemSet method needs the groupIndex passed as a parameter, but the documentation does not make clear what that means. Where do we find the correct value for groupIndex to use? Is there a magic number to pass here, or is there another method we need to call to lookup the correct groupIndex value?
