Asymmetric Equips

Ever wanted to wear just one eyepatch? Well now you can!

Certain items can now be worn asymmetrically, which is noted in their tooltips. Simply hold shift and control, then click the item. Note that this can only be done when the item is equipped or in the player's inventory.

Mod Calls

Call	Description	Example
"AddEquip", EquipType equipType, int equipId, int newId = -1, int side = 2 : void	This method must be called before recipes are added. Registers a single equip slot to behave asymmetrically. equipType and equipId are the same parameters input into EquipLoader.GetEquipTexture(). newId is what id to replace the equip with. This defaults to -1, which removes the equip. This is useful for items like the Molten Skull Rose: The player shouldn't stop wearing the skull when turned around, but they should lose the rose. side is which side of the player this equips appears on when the player is facing right. For 99% of equips, this is 2 (Right). HandsOff equips use 1 (Left). If your equip has both HandsOn and HandsOff, consider using AddGlove instead.	mod.Call("AddEquip", EquipType.HandsOn, ArmorIDs.HandOn.BandofRegeneration); mod.Call("AddEquip", EquipType.Face, ArmorIDs.Face.MoltenSkullRose, ArmorIDs.Face.LavaSkull, 1);
"AddGlove", int itemId : void	This method must be called before recipes are added. A shortcut for adding gloves. itemId is the type of the glove item. This item must have both a HandsOn and HandsOff equip slot.	mod.Call("AddGlove", ItemID.TitanGlove);
"AddSpecialItem", int itemId, int side = 2 : void	This method must be called before recipes are added. Marks an item as asymmetric, but doesn't do anything with it. Intended for items like Yoraiz0r's Spell, which have non-equip slot visual effects. You must manually handle asymmetricism for special items using ItemOnFrontSide. itemId is the type of the item you'd like to mark. side is the side of the player the item is on when the player is facing right. 1 is on the player's left/back side, 2 is the player's front/right side.	mod.Call("AddSpecialItem", ItemID.Yoraiz0rWings);
"ItemOnDefaultSide", Item item, Player player : bool	Checks if a given equip will draw normally on a player facing right. Returns true if so, or if the item in question isn't asymmetric at all. If false, you will need to draw that equip specially.	// In a ModItem's UpdateAccessory() method if (asymmetricEquips.Call("ItemOnFrontSide", Item, player)) { player.GetModPlayer<CoolPlayer>().coolItemVisuallyEquipped = true; }
"GetFrontBalloon", Player player : (int frontBalloon, int cFrontBalloon, int frontBalloonInner, int cFrontBalloonInner, Vector2 frontBalloonOffset)	Retrieves information about a player's front balloon. Data is analogous to Player.balloon, Player.balloonInner and their respective dye slots. frontBalloonOffset is the offset applied before balloons are drawn and should not be used unless you're handling your own front balloon support.	(int frontBalloon, int cFrontBalloon, int frontBalloonInner, int cFrontBalloonInner, Vector2 frontBalloonOffset) = mod.Call("GetFrontBalloon")

It is recommended to make a helper method if you plan on adding several special items to your mod:

internal static bool ItemOnDefaultSide(Item item, Player player)
{
	return !ModLoader.TryGetMod("AsymmetricEquips", out Mod mod) || mod.Call("ItemOnDefaultSide", item, player);
}
