Post subject:  EquippedItem Property Troubles [Solved]
So I'm trying to improve the scripts for visible inventory. These scripts are applied to attachables, the root object of which are AHumans. But if I try to access the EquippedItem property on a pointer to the root MO, it comes up as nil even when the actor is holding something.

An example of one of my attempts to access it:
Code:
function Update(self)
   self.rootofdevice = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID)
   if self.rootofdevice then
      if self.rootofdevice:IsActor() then
         self.operator = ToActor(self.rootofdevice)
         print(ToHDFirearm(self.operator.EquippedItem).PresetName)
      end
   end
end
ERROR: call of overloaded function '(nil)' is ambiguous
none of the overloads have a best conversion:(Entity*)
(const Entity*)

A functional example from the vanilla human AI:
Code:
AimPos = ToHDFirearm(self.EquippedItem).MuzzlePos

Instead of
Code:
self.operator = ToActor(self.rootofdevice)

Try
Code:
self.operator = ToAHuman(self.rootofdevice)

Thanks a million, that did the trick.

Functional example for anyone who comes across this thread with the same issue:
Code:
function Update(self)
   self.rootofdevice = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID)
   if self.rootofdevice then
      if self.rootofdevice:IsActor() then
         self.operator = ToAHuman(self.rootofdevice)
         self.holding = self.operator.EquippedItem
         if self.holding then
            print(self.holding.PresetName)
         end
      end
   end
end
